“A successful expatriate manager has four - sorry for using the wrong symbolic number - talents: two characteristics that can realistically be assessed by an organization before sending its managers overseas are seasoned professionalism and optimal flexibility. Two other personal assets, which are far more difficult to measure, are the respect for the organization's ethical standards and a high degree of cross-cultural sensibility. Working in modern China where the appearances become each day more and more western, but where the insides remain a 100% Chinese - a unique but treacherous paradox -, I became aware that the two latter qualifications are precisely the most important ones. Jeanne Boden's knowledge, work and publications are an excellent guidance for managers to create, enhance and maintain the value of these personal and certainly essential assets in this exciting part of the world.” —Alexander Deblond, Finance Manager Asia-Pacific, Agfa Healthcare Aspac, Shanghai
