China Demonstrates New Opening Accepting Controversial Books in 2009 Beijing International Book Fair

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 09, 2009 – Waldman Publications is celebrating the acceptance and success at the 2009 Beijing International Book Fair, September 3-7, 2009, , of two new books by Alan A. Waldman, PhD, that challenge current Chinese practices.   Adventures in Global Consulting, a first-hand and straightforward account of Dr. Waldman’s experiences, reveals the truth about Chinese manufacturing and business practices, while Discovered Global Wisdom provides advice on the need for freedom and honesty in individual behavior.  
“I am thrilled,” says author Dr. Waldman, world-renowned scientist, international consultant and founding director of Waldman Biomedical Consultancy.  “The willingness of China to accept my constructive criticism and personal advice is a positive sign of growth, progress and a new openness.”
Waldman Publications notes Adventures in Global Consulting will be of value to anyone interested in how others around the world live, work and compete.  Selected from Dr. Waldman’s international travels and experience, the anecdotes and related learnings and lessons in the book provide unique insights into how people and management in countries around the world attempt to balance the expectations of their society and the needs of the global markets.  
The amusing and instructive anecdotes presented in Adventures in Global Consulting about constructing controlled factories and working with manufacturers in China, are of particular interest.   There are also stories on explaining quality control to the French, out-arguing the Germans, training kibbutzniks in Israel, avoiding losing face in Japan, activating the Swedes, and understanding the FDA in the United States.
The other book by Dr. Waldman, Discovered Global Wisdom, provides clear guidance on how to improve the quality of personal and business life, with advice based on extensive experience and a good understanding of the importance of honest dealing and facing reality.  It goes well beyond the usual books on self-help and self-improvement, or standard works on business and management.
“If everything looks good, you are looking in the wrong direction” and “Don’t try to fix the blame, try to fix the problem” are just two examples of the concrete guidance and advice provided in Discovered Global Wisdom.
Prior to founding Waldman Biomedical Consultancy, a company which has served the heath care industry worldwide for over 20 years, Dr. Waldman served as Technical Director of the New York Blood Center, the largest in the world, where he led significant work on AIDS and interferon, and advised companies on new product development.
Both Adventures in Global Consulting and Discovered Global Wisdom are available online through amazon.com, BN.com and other sites, or through major book distributors.  For more about Waldman Publications or to order directly from the publisher visit their website at waldmanpublications.com.
