かつては、文字や仏教を始め幾多の文明をもたらしてくれた中国。いまや世界最大の人口を擁する、やや付き合いにくい隣国。
彼の国で「中産階級」が急増しています。その人たちは、なにを考え、どう行動しているのでしょうか。

Hi Everyone,
Our "Entrepreneurship in Asian High-Tech Industries" series
has gotten off to a great start and continues with a *very exciting*
session next week:
"What the Rise of the Chinese Middle Class Means for Entrepreneurs"
With Helen Wang, author of the book, The Chinese Dream,
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
4:15 - 5:30 pm
NVIDIA Auditorium, Huang Engineering Center, Stanford
It's fantastic that we could get Forbes columnist, consultant,
and expert on China’s middle class, Ms. Helen H. Wang, to find time
in her schedule to speak for us this week. This session in our series
is presented in cooperation with The Association of Chinese Students
and Scholars at Stanford (ACSSS). I'm also happy to say that Helen
is another Stanford alum!
Originally from China, Helen has lived in the U. S. for over twenty
years. After earning her masters degree at Stanford, she joined at the
prestigious think tank, the Institute for the Future, in Menlo Park,
California, and consulted for Fortune 500 companies, including Apple,
Oracle, and Bank of America. She then became a Silicon Valley
entrepreneur in Internet start-ups. In 2004, Helen returned to
Stanford as a Reuters Fellow, developing technology solutions for
underserved communities. She has also founded a social venture,
e-Mobilizer, to help woman micro-entrepreneurs in developing countries
use mobile phones to access online markets. E-Mobilizer has been
nominated twice for the San Jose Tech Museum Award.
A sought-after speaker, Wang now divides her time between
consulting for companies doing business in China and helping non-profit
organizations make a difference. Her 2010 book, "THE CHINESE DREAM:
The Rise of the World’s Largest Middle Class and What It Means to You,"
describes the explosive growth of the Chinese middle class over the last
two decades and tells a number of riveting personal stories, including
Helen's own. It has received commendations from various prominent
scholars and business people, as described on her website
http://helenhwang.net/>. In our seminar on Tuesday, 4/05, Helen
will focus on the implications of this world-changing phenomenon
for entrepreneurs in China and Silicon Valley.
We hope you can join us for this exciting discussion!
