Western-Chinese Business: Steve Jobs vs Confucius
BackWhat is the difference between a Chinese and Western hero? There is a big difference; knowing the difference tells you much about how Chinese think about life and about work (and more).
Chinese culture is a rules-obeying, process oriented culture, Western culture is a law-obeying, results oriented culture. What do you do when your Chinese partner thinks how you do things (process) is more important than what gets done (results)?

to popqq123 :
I am a Hong Konger( Chinese).
To me, I like western culture( especially American cullture) the most. Second is Japanese culture( especially Japanese youth culture). It is because westerners are more open minded and can accept different point of view than Chinese.

Just according to your segment here: I am sure that you haven't read "Yi Jing". Please becareful to make absolute statements. China was the richest and the most techonological country on earth until 1800's. Lots of chinese inventions had contributed to move the world forward.

nowadays is global culture. So a country's culture do not influenced a person's a lot. Personal's value and character influenced a person more than his/her own culture.

In every country there are about 10-15% of people who believe what you said.
