Auf der Grundlage ihrer 30-jährigen Erfahrung mit chinesischen multinationalen Unternehmen und Firmen werfen die Autoren ein klares Licht auf das unternehmerische China und seine Vertreter. Anhand konkreter Beispiele werden in dem Buch Management- und Strategiekonzepte analysiert, die die gewohnten Methoden westlicher Unternehmen in Frage stellen. Diese werden als "Drachentaktik" bezeichnet, eine systematische Umsetzung des Prinzips: versuchen, scheitern, wieder versuchen und wieder scheitern, bis ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt wird. Das Buch beschreibt eine Mischung aus der Geschichte Chinas, den Prozessen zur Erzielung von Erfolg in einem unsicheren Umfeld und Managementmethoden, die sowohl dem Konfuzianismus als auch den neuen Technologien entlehnt sind, und enthält viele Lektionen, die westliche Führungskräfte lernen können. Nicht nur, um in China selbst erfolgreich zu sein, sondern vor allem, um in einer zunehmend unsicheren und unbeständigen Welt generell besser aufgestellt zu sein.
