Review "This book offers insights to Western readers, allowing them to truly understand Huawei, its management philosophy and culture, and the special leadership approaches of Ren Zhengfei." -- John A. Quelch This is the most complete book about Huawei I have ever read. -- Liu Chuanzhi This book will give readers a special insight into Huawei’s capacity and entrepreneurial drive under the dedicated leadership of Mr Ren Zhengfei. -- Kerry Matthew Stokes AC "Over the course of the last quarter century, Huawei has become one of the most important telecommunications companies in the world and, arguably, one of the most powerful Chinese companies in the global economy. Yet, there is much that is not known about Huawei and much that is misunderstood. As the foremost authority on Huawei in the world, Tian Tao brings deep knowledge and unprecedented access to help pull back the veil on one of the world’s most enigmatic companies. This book will be essential reading for politicians, pundits, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of this important company." -- Doug Guthrie ― Author of Dragon in a Three-Piece Suit: The Emergence of Capitalism in China "Over the past two decades, Huawei has composed an amazing epic in the business world.

The US government, however, is slowing down the process of Huawei entering the American market on suggestions that Huawei could get access to critical US government information. No question Huawei is the result of the entrepreneurial effort of Ren Zhengfei. The book allows us to get some understanding of the entrepreneur, his philosophy, the culture he wants to establish in Huawei, and the process to do it. Few of the leading Chinese companies have taken relevant positions internationally. For a high technology company, addressing the international markets is an important chall
