Yeaterday we went on a visit to IBM. Though we did not get to the research lab, I really enjoyed COO Boyken's presentation. Parts of it dragged on because I was so tired. But most of it was really intriguing. It was awesome to get a perspective of Cbina's economy from a westerner who is actually living here. A lot of what we learned related to what we learned in class. I felt really honored to be there but the way he gave his presentation and spoke with us was opposite of what we learned in class about chinese structure in business. Here was the top dog, treating is like he is one of us. I will add him on LinkedIn when we get back to town. Later that afternoon it was awesome to compare the perspective of USCBC with the perspective of the actual company they help. I felt enlightened about conducting business here in Beijing. I actually now feel like it would be very possible to start a business here despite the risks. Maybe one day Osman Innovations will conduct business in China.
