			<description><![CDATA[This morning I read an article about what to get Mom for Mother’s Day – a laptop or a tablet? Well, the answer is probably both, depending on what the use is. The article highlighted that tablets are more beneficial to consume content, whereas laptops are better for producing content.
The bottom line is that we now access information via multiple platforms. For example, I saw the article on my Twitter feed, read it from my cell phone browser, and now I am writing this blog post on my laptop. So it seems that we will continue to use multiple devices...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The goal of this post is to distill some key aspects of embarking on producing goods in China. Consider it a mini-checklist of important points to remember when selecting a factory and evaluating suppliers.
The  Great  Wall  of  China  -  Amazing!
Law No. 1: Do not fall in love with the factory
Simply put, have a backup plan. You will more than likely work with several factories over the course of time as your needs evolve. It does not matter how many sightseeing tours your host factory escorts you to or how many delicious meals you have...]]></description>

4) What were the biggest obstacles you faced with Chinese manufacturing, either on the visit(s) to China and/or after you returned to the US?  Any tips?
Some of the biggest obstacles we faced were not having our expectations aligned with those of our factory. We expected one thing and they another. Make sure you are on the same page and do not get in over your head. No apology needs to be made for starting off small; it is a stage in development just like a baby who has to learn to walk need make no apology. In...]]></description>

2) What do you wish that you knew about the manufacturing process before you went to the China the first time that you could share with me before my first trip?
I wish I had read the books I mentioned above (see Part 1) and that I better understood the basic tenets of doing business in China. One of the key principles is to save face – at all costs. This point seems basic enough, but the implication is far reaching and can cost you dearly. On our first trip, we visited a factory that had less than...]]></description>
