Features: "Against the Wind" has been consistently ranked at the top of book sales charts for several weeks and is currently the subject of much controversy, along with its author, Wu Shihong.....(Of course, our discount isn't because it didn't fly high enough. Seize the opportunity!) The book describes the author's experience at Microsoft, from her reasons for resigning to Microsoft's market strategies, human management methods, management secrets, as well as the soul and leader of Microsoft—what she knows about Gates and the current CEO, Ballmer; the author's career path at IBM, from a blue-collar clerk to IBM's "Southern" (Southern is a term that might need cultural adaptation, as it's a Chinese idiom), and then to the General Manager of the China Channel, revealing the journey of an outstanding manager.
