Book Description
Half a world away from the calm beauty of Puget Sound, there's a lab where Bill Gates's software dreams come true. . . . So begins Guanxi, the compelling on-the-scenes tale of the allure of China today -- and of a unique partnership between the world's most famous capitalist and the world's largest communist nation that showcases what it takes to compete in the age of global innovation.
Guanxi (gwan-shee), the Chinese term for mutually beneficial relationships essential to success in the Middle Kingdom, tells the story of the juggernaut research lab that underpins Microsoft's relationship building in China. Unfurled through a gripping narrative that moves between Beijing and Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, it follows the lab's emergence as a mecca for Chinese computer-science talent -- a place where 10,000 résumés arrive in a month, written exams are farmed out to eleven cities to screen applicants, and interns sleep on cots next to their cubicles. So far, the company has invested well over $100 million and hired more than 400 of China's best and brightest to turn the outpost into an important window on the future of computing and a training ground to uplift the state of Chinese computer science -- creating dramatic payoffs for both Microsoft and its host country that are helping the company overcome many of the challenges of China.
Guanxi traces the arc of the lab's stunning success from a memo by erstwhile Microsoft visionary Nathan Myhrvold to its early days under maverick speech recognition guru Kai-Fu Lee (since plucked away by Google for some $10 million), and to its more recent tutelage under former child prodigies Ya-Qin Zhang and Harry Shum. The two China-born stars, who both attended college in their native country by the age of thirteen, have orchestrated the Beijing lab's recent emergence as an epicenter of Microsoft's intensifying battles against Google in the search wars, Nokia in the wireless arena, and Sony in graphics and entertainment.
As pundits rail about the "China threat" to U.S. competitiveness and offer often-hackneyed arguments against outsourcing, Guanxi explores the true ramifications of China's high-tech buildup -- and the means by which it can be turned to competitive advantage, in part by "insourcing" the untapped talent in the country's top universities. Sprinkled with telling observations, compelling characters, and lively anecdotes about the brilliant successes and sometimes painful stumbles of the world's most powerful software company, Guanxi is essential reading for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and technologists around the globe.

Where's the Guanxi?!.......2006-10-22
Microsoft's PR Department couldn't have written thicker, more syrupy, praise for Microsoft. Guanxi is the chinese word for mutually beneficial relationships, it's a complex concept that involves respect, reciprocality, and a certain deference to the person with more authority. It is not covered in this book. Rather, this is a book that paints a super happy face on a long process and smooths out or ignores the rough edges. I recommend doing an Amazon search on Guanxi and reading some of the other books on business in China, like the China Dream, if you want a clearer picture of Guanxi. If you want the Disneyfied version of Microsoft's research lab, this is the book for you.
guanxi (the art of relationships).......2006-05-18
I met Buderi and Huang on their book tour, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. What a tale they tell, as they show how Microsoft early on, embraced the world of talent coming up through Chinese universities and turned it to the company's advantage. I especially like the stories of how young Chinese researchers just out of university found themselves in Redmond, presenting for Bill Gates.
China is hungry and rich in talent, not just markets, and this book shows why.
Essential reading on China, Microsoft, and the future of innovation.......2006-05-18
As someone keenly interested in China and the future of innovation, I gobbled up this book almost as soon as it was out. I was not disappointed. In a usually fast-moving narrative, peppered with funny stories and telling anecdotes, Buderi and Huang dive down into rich detail about the creation and evolution of Microsoft's incredibly successful Beijing research lab, and how despite several stumbles it has improved relations with Chinese government and academe. A revealing lawsuit with Google accentuates the end of the story, as Google hires away the original star behind the lab. Readers will come away with a much deeper understanding of what it takes to compete in emerging nations like China.

Book Description
An intriguing look at an Internet pioneer and global powerhouse
Reaching sixty percent of all Net users, Yahoo! is one of the most popular Internet portals and one of the most successful companies in the world today. Inside Yahoo! takes readers on a fascinating journey through the thoughts and motivations behind the company. Revealing stories of on-again, off-again management, the race for innovation, and the constant focus on survival, this book will engage readers on many different levels. With access to Yahoo's top executives, author Karen Angel describes the complementary, but different styles that have made Yahoo! one of the few surviving business models in the struggling Internet sector. An informed and astute narrative traces the company's transformation from a twenty-something brainstorm to a sophisticated community to a onetime Wall Street darling that managed to ride-out the recent market shakeout. Along the way, readers will follow in the steps and missteps of this unique company and see how it keeps reinventing itself to keep ahead of a changing marketplace.
Customer Reviews:
Humorous and Informative.......2006-11-19
I like the style of the author, the reading is fun and humorous but it's full of information on how the Yahoo started and where it is heading now. I like the concept of Yang and Filo, giving to community first before making a profit. The book is definitely a keep for files and future example when building a community websites which i am now.
Nat
Name says it all.......2006-01-31
I used this book as a starting block for a thesis I am working on. The information within the book provide insight of managements ideas and fundamentals. By no means should this book be used as a guide for the Yahoo's due to the flux of the Internet. Instead it a guide to the historical reference on what makes the company tick.
After reading/studying the book, the founders principles still exist at Yahoo today... Focus on creating a social-engineering product (Yang) and consumer interface to the Web (Filo). Understanding this, recent moves by Yahoo make more since (e.g. acquisition of fliker and role out of 360.)
Furthermore, if you want to read about one of the four leaders in the Internet bubble, this is a very good book. It does a good job showing how the company ran a race against the other information providers at the time, Lycos and Excite. Finally, the author did a good job illustrating how company survived the busting of the bubble. If you have the time, and are interested in the company, it ought to be money well spent.
Interesting history, maybe a bit dusty........2005-11-12
This book is basically the history of the 500 lb gorilla of the dot-com debacle. It follows Yahoo! from its birth in a Stanford trailer up through the pits of despair in late 2001.
I personally learned quite a bit about the forces that shaped this "walking contradiction" of a company. For me (as a geek) the most interesting part was the history of what technologies and services have been rolled into the Yahoo! brand, including early plays into VoIP as far back as 1998 and Yahoo!'s short fling with adult content.
Lost a star for the (I felt) boring profusion of financial figures every few pages. Yes, the difference between GAAP and pro-forma reporting blah blah and stock rating by Bleedle and Blarney was changed fom zzzzz.... Some of this pure finance speak is obviously necessary to the story, since a lot of the action pivots on economic calamity. It just seemed that the book occasionally became the history of YHOO the stock instead of Yahoo! the company.
For "ancient history" (in Internet time) the book is a great resource. I'll still need something to fill in the gap between the ending of this book (the expectation at end of 2001 that Yahoo! would die, become irrelevant, or get acquired) through modern times. But taken for what it is, it's a handy reference.
Very Informative but lacks analysis.......2003-01-05
The author has used her sources effectively to delineate the Intenet boom and its subsequent fall, by describing Yahoo's growth from a Stanford trailer into a media company. She has captured the frenzy of the late 90's and takes the reader through the numerous accquisitions and investments in Silicon Valley. At the same time the book is an overkill with the excessive information provided and at times reads like an encyclopaedia with figures thrown in liberally. The fact that Yahoo hasn't cooperated with the author is evident in several places. Overall its a good read
A competent job, but lacks real insight.......2002-11-25
Like many other writers about technology companies, Karen Angel has simply read a lot of newspaper and magazine articles about the company, interviewed some knowledgeable outsiders (key insiders did not cooperate with her) and organized the resulting material in chronological sequence. If, like I, you are interested in learning the basic facts about Yahoo!, this book will suffice, but don't expect anything in the way of new revelations or searching analysis.
What comes across is a group of relatively bright young computer nerds who happened to be in the right place at the right time, decided that they were the Christ, and imploded from their own greed and hubris, professing all the while their personal integrity. Urrrppp!

Love him or loathe him, Mr. Microsoft is certainly an influential voice in the modern business world and The Road Ahead is definitely an important addition to any business library. Gates' description of the beginnings of the information age, while somewhat over-emphasizing his own contributions and downplaying those of his competitors, is nonetheless as clear and enlightening as any in print today. Likewise, his view of the digital future--from hardware to software and education to entertainment--should be read and studied by all who use technology in their business today or plan to use it on the road ahead.
Customer Reviews:
I owe a lot of things to this book.......2005-11-23
This book hit the stands in 90's when I was an undegrad doing my 4 year course in Computer Science and Engineering. I devoured this book with the kind of passion a teenager devours his first Playboy/Penthouse.
In hindsight whatever BillG has written in this book has happened.
This book Rocks.
Classic Gates-- Before the Internet was Invented...........2005-03-13
Seriously this is Bill Gates talking about the future but out of 300 pages about 9 are dedicated to talking about the internet -- and most of that is buried with other information. Lots of talk about applications and appliances that did not materialize....one book you need to read because-- then you know that all the gurus DO NOT KNOW everythng !! Wonderful for entrepreneurs who dont' doubt their own paths on their road ahead......
Worth reading.......2004-05-20
Definitely worth reading. I'd also, however, suggest that if you really are curious about the early years of computing, you use the internet to check up other opinions of Microsoft's origin. There's two sides to every story...
Mr. Gates is is undoubtedly a phenomenal businessman, though not perhaps quite the visionary he perceives himself to be. Would a visionary have to rewrite his book a year after completion? The internet took off - and The Road Ahead received a complete overhaul to reflect the recent developments. More like, The Road Behind. He's also not quite such an innovator - Microsoft purchased "MS-DOS", rather than created it, and incorporated many other people's ideas into Windows (without permission, of course).
This isn't just a Microsoft bashing session. I have the greatest respect for them. But, think twice before you believe every word in this book. There is a definite stretching of the truth in places. Having said that, buy it - it's an interesting comparison with other accounts of the dawn of personal computing. No doubt the truth is somewhere in between.
"Not supported".......2004-05-07
Mr Gates didn't mention anything about Java running on any platform/machine
He didn't mention anything about Linux being free
He didn't mention anything "new" about IBM their Lotus Notes products
Didn't mention anything "significant" about future changes in graphics and companies like Pixar and Disney
He didn't mention anything about Oracle and middleware
He didn't mention anything about the POWER of Ebay, Yahoo, Google and Amazon to get you things!!
What about AOL?, and what about the fact that he didn't even once mention Netscape, the superior company who revolutionized the Internet with their browser.
Don't get me wrong it is a very good book. However somewhat lopsided
I guess I must be on a different road than the one Mr Gates is traveling on.
btw: I happen to be one of the many Microsoft Certified Professionals that invested a significant amount of my own money and time supporting his products.
(10 grand and 12 years)
I think this book is as much about what is NOT in the book as opposed to what IS in the book!!
Buy it anyway! (Maybe used - it is some what dated) You will learn something just by being exposed to it.
The concept of The Web as being "self publishing" was an eye opener for me.
My favorite chapter and quote was from Chapter 8 Friction-Free Capitalism. "Our success in the PC world has come from working in partnership with such great companies as Intel, Compaq, HP, DEC, NEC, and dozens of others. Even IBM and Apple, with whom we have occasionally been in competition, have had an immense amount of our cooperation and support. We created a company that was dependent on partners. We bet that somebody other than us would do great chips, somebody other than us would build great PCs, somebody other than us would do great distribution and integration. We took a narrow slice and focused on that. In this new world, we want to work with companies from every industry to help them make the most of the opportunities the information revolution will bring." page 182
Well here are some other technology people and companies you might want to investigate as I am sure they too will have an impact on the direction of the road we will all be traveling: (unless of course, he buys them or squeezes them out)

Do not forget the power of TV and the example set by GE.......2004-04-06
I found the book informative. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the modern world. The book does not have a narrow focus on just technology but also looks at technology's impact on society from many different and interesting angles. Most of what the author thinks we may expect to see on the road ahead of us seems like a very reasonable guess and he is in a good position to make an educated guess, but I think he perhaps underestimates by a bit the continuing pervasive influence of that ancient relic, TV! It is much more powerfull than the PC. For example, on page 263 Mr. Gates writes, "If people do gravitate to their own interests and withdraw from the broader world -- if weight lifters communicate only with other weight lifters, and Latvians choose to read only Latvian newspapers -- there is a risk that common experience and values will fall away. Such xenophobia would have the effect of fragmenting societies." By this statement Bill Gates is suggesting that people who get their information about the world from Latvian newspapers may possibly become as narrow in their outlook as people whose only interest is weight lifting.
Weight lifters and Latvians? There are many ways to make a point and this is an interesting choice by an active mind (I dare to guess that all Americans know what a weight lifter is and I know most don't know what a Latvian is, but I am glad the author did not chose an Austrian; that would be too obvious and the book would not seem as fresh and new without a Latvian in there). The risk that common experience and values will fall away is very small indeed. The spreading power of TV (cable etc.) will prevent that. TV is everywhere in homes (almost all), bars, airports, some dentists have you watch TV while you get drilled, travelers watch TV with breakfast in most motels/hotels and some motels/hotels have two TVs in every room. That fanatical weight lifter and avid reader of Latvian newspapers both, like most people, probably cannot avoid watching TV, and have their world view, to a large degree, formed by CNN, CBS 60 Minutes, excellent commercials, Hollywood movies, and talk shows of all kind. Electrons radiating from the TV screen create a bond between the weight lifter and the Latvian reader. A French man told me that the impact of TV is so great that French TV is even causing regional accents to fade away in France.
The next book Mr. Gates should write should be on how to make a very large and mature company's stock deliver superior performance to the long-suffering-and-not-so-patient-anymore shareholders. He should use GE's story as a guide. GE's great size did not prevent superior performance. But the book should be very short so that Mr. Gates can quickly start implementing the contents of the new book.

great starting point.......2007-08-24
If you think that you want to race, but you don't know where to begin, this is a very good book to start out with.
No fluff, straight forward, ways to get you involved in wheel to wheel racing.
Mostly geared towards SCCA, but easily adaptable to different clubs in your region.
Even if you are not ready to take your care out on the track, Dave Gran offers insight to other ways to volunteer to work the track and work with some of the crews out there now.
Sure you knew that is what you needed to do, but he tells you how to get yourself there.
He offered solutions to get involved into the racing that I was looking for, and saved me a great deal of time trying to find out how to go about it.
Great place to start!!.......2007-05-21
I happened across this book recently when a friend who was just starting out showed the advertisement for it to me. I was surprised to see that it was actually written by someone I know and have raced with (we both tried to occupy the same space in one race several years ago at Summit Point but that's racing!). I found Dave to be a terrific guy and one who I would race with any day. In short, I bought the book for my friend and it's been well worth it. The path that Dave followed in his SCCA career obviously paid dividends for him as it will any new person just starting down the road. Kudos Dave and thanks!!

This is a must read for anyone interested in getting into club racing........2007-04-14
Road racing is possible at just about any age. I got my racing license at age 47 in 2003...I REALLY wish Dave Gran's book was around when I first started out as it would have shortened my learning curve significantly. Getting into road racing has been one of the most awesome things I have ever done. Racing can be an affordable hobby and Dave's book will show you how to do it on your budget!

Awesome Book!.......2006-09-23
I've always wanted to race, but always thought it was out of my reach financially. Who can afford to race? Those people are rich! At least that is what I thought until I bought this book. This book shows you how to start racing on a budget that the average working person, like me, can afford!
Thanks to Dave, I'm still enjoying days at the racetrack, but now people are watching me instead of the other way around! Go ahead, take the wheel, it's intoxicating.
Great Way to get Started!!.......2006-09-22
Although I have already gotten into racing, this was a great book!! I wish it was around when I started!
If you have EVER thought of getting into racing, you need to read this book. You don't have to be a millionaire to get into it!

Book Description
Southeast Asia is going through tremendous changes economically. The market-oriented economies of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand have been showing robust growth since the 1960s. The transitional economies of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam are exhibiting signs of economic awakening and revival after years of internal political and social turmoil. Despite these encouraging signs, the region still has a long road ahead in its efforts to achieve developed nation status.
This book is a serious and concise study of various important economic aspects of Southeast Asia. The existing economic studies of the region are mainly topical in nature. Most books attempt to offer only a partial treatment of the issues and fail to examine these issues in a holistic manner. The objective of this book is to provide a more complete cross-country discussion on the economic issues and problems facing Southeast Asia. Besides critically examining the multiple facets of changes and problems that have been and will be encountered by Southeast Asia, the book presents a lucid exposition of the prospects of the region. However, it does not stop there but moves on to provide pointers and suggestions on how Southeast Asian countries should proceed with their development options and processes. The book should be of interest to economists and graduate students researching on Southeast Asia. It will also be extremely useful to those who want to have a better understanding of the Southeast Asian region.
