Christine Yan says the growth in China must be experienced—not just “visited”—to be appreciated.  Trained as a mechanical engineer with an MBA, she runs the Asian business for Stanley Black & Decker, a Western-based multi-national Fortune 500 company that sells nuts, bolts, tools and all that goes with them (in fact. Christine holds patents on tools she developed for the company years ago).   She’s got myriad examples of Chinese innovation that go beyond Western aspirations, much of it is driven by the strongly held belief by many Chinese that everyone can get rich by working hard and being willing to fail. Despite a slowdown in the economy, Christine says it is full steam ahead.  Possible monkey wrench in this rosy picture? Uncertainty, and its chilling effect on the global economy.  On this podcast you’ll hear how a Western business leader headquartered in Shanghai weights the challenges and opportunities.
