Summary
In today's world, economic and financial factors dictate the need to communicate with our international counterparts. With the enormous growth of their economy and increasing business and diplomatic connections with the United States, China commands primary consideration in the 21st century. Unfortunately our ability to communicate with this emerging economic power is hampered by our divergent cultures and distinctly different views on the role of communications. Dr. Jessica Stowell, coordinator of University of Oklahoma's Institute for Teaching East Asia and Associate Director of the Confucius Institute, explains the Chinese concept and use of communication and identifies the approach and skills needed to communicate in this international arena.--From publisher description
