If Yin Yang is the operating System of the Chinese Mind, it is also the underlying operating system of Chinese business.

This week we start looking at strategic decisions made by Haier over the years that show the Yin Yang operating system at work, and how they have taken Haier from a bankrupt refrigerator manufacturer, to the most successful white goods developer and manufacturer in the world with 13% of the world's white goods market.

What is this thing called Yin Yang? Is it a central tenant of Taoism? Is it a cool symbol to put on your surfboard? Is it the Cognitive Orientation of all Chinese business thinking? In the Baker-Zhang Model of Chinese Business Culture, we go for Option 3.

Enjoy Podcats!
