Recommendation

Entrepreneur Wang Jianlin is chairman of the Dalian Wanda Group, which develops major shopping center complexes and runs entertainment venues across China. This collection of Wang’s speeches and interviews presents first person stories of his journey from soldier to high-profile developer. The translation of Wang’s words can be clumsy at times and extra editing might have given this collation a more objective tone. Yet, the sections on managing complex processes prove especially useful. getAbstract recommends Wang’s intriguing autobiographical study to investors, entrepreneurs, policy makers, and business students and professors seeking insight into the Chinese business landscape and Wanda Group’s strategies.
