Riffiti. A Mobile App. A New Way of Learning Anything.
December 27, 2014 By
Signup today for early 2015 release here – http://www.riffiti.com.
After 20 years as a Silicon Valley professional, I no longer believe in learning from just one person. All of a sudden I want to hear how 5 or 10 or 100 people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences understood a concept or an idea; I want to hear it in their own words, and I want my understanding to be a part of that diversity of understandings. This year I decided to find out if that’s possible.
The result is the mobile app Riffiti. I would like you all to signup, and be a part of it because I believe your participation will help multiply the learning of the others. The app will be available early 2015.
Share it with your friends! Signup today for early 2015 release here – http://www.riffiti.com.

The Entire Chinese-Language Edition of The Disconnect Book is Now Free Online
April 3, 2013 By
Beginning today, I am offering the Chinese-language version of my book 矛盾重重：关于如何管理中美跨国高科技公司的思考 FREE online. I am doing this to make my book available for everyone who can read in Chinese, especially those in mainland China, where the print edition of the Chinese version is not yet available. Instead of putting a single PDF file online, I will serialize the book chapter by chapter, with one chapter per week.
The first chapter is already on this site. Here is the link: http://disconnectpatterns.com/cn/
If you are a professor or a teacher in a university or a school, or an executive or a manager in a China-U.S. company, please share this link with your students, colleagues and friends. Please read, share freely, discuss and if you find the book useful, let me know. Please contact me anytime! Thanks!

China Law Blog Reviews This Book
January 30, 2013 By
Running A China Tech Office. It’s Not About The Tech. I am smiling at the title, clever Dan…:- ) On his last point about the editing of the book, I take his point. For some crazy reason I was trying to create the conversations where English is not so well-spoken, as you’d expect when your colleagues in China and you are talking. This was meant to illustrate that English language, and for that matter Chinese language, is not the issue. I think in this English-speaking-guy-pretending-to-be-non-English-speaking-guy exercise, editing went out through the window, some of it anyway. Another lesson learned.
Five Broad Lessons-learned When You Manage a U.S.-China Chip Company, or My Discussion with EE Times’ Junko Yoshida
January 23, 2013 By
We had such an interesting discussion, covering surrounding topics centered on, what else, the U.S.-China chip company management. I am quite sure that my experience is just a sliver in a variety of differing experiences of those in similar position, but I’ll say this: every time I come away from performing in a role for an extended period of time (4 plus years, in this case), I yearn for more of it, promising myself I’ll do better this time. Talking, writing, discussing, letting other experiences sway me, is the only way to move forward. Here’s the link to Junko’s article.
