About the book 书籍介绍:

This is the first management book by business legend Sam Su. In his 26 years at the helm of Yum China and during China's reform and opening, he and his team captured great opportunities and built a legendary business. He also overcame the various challenges and dealt with crises that multinational companies would experience during that time. He created "miracles" in the market, and also had "regrets" to reflect upon. Sam compiles his years of management wisdom into this book.


This book offers unique insights to readers – whether you are an MNC's China CEO or entrepreneur trying to scale up an experienced manager, or a young professional starting a corporate career. It's not meant to give you a simple and straightforward answer. More importantly, it provides inspiration to help you make sound business decisions on your path to success.


本书是商业传奇人物苏敬轼的首部管理学作品。在他掌舵百胜中国的26年中，他和团队见证了改革开放带来的巨大机遇，享受了与时俱进的种种红利，但同时也经历了跨国企业都会面临的各种挑战和重重危机的考验。他创造了一个又一个业界的"神话"，也留下了值得借鉴的"遗憾"。这是他首次将这些年的管理智慧汇总成书。


无论是身处跨国企业深耕中国市场的CEO，还是正在经历企业做大做强而困惑的创业者；无论是驰骋职场多年的管理人，还是懵懵懂懂的职场小白，本书都值得一读。它给你的不是简单直白的答案，却是比答案更重要的启发，引领你走上通往成功的正路。
