Global IT Club : Jimmy Hsiao, CEO, Logic Solutions

I attended a Global IT Club meeting as a guest to hear Jimmy Hsiao speak on how a technology company bridges between the US and China. Little bio on Jimmy Hsiao;

Mr. Hsiao is the founder of Logic Solutions, a company specializing in Internet technologies and innovative distributed applications. He has a broad range of knowledge of current and emerging technologies and their business applications. Mr. Hsiao holds a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering and a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, both from the University of Michigan. Mr. Hsiao currently serves on the Advisory Board to EMU's Computer Information System Department. In the past two years, Logic has started a new service, what it calls "China services," helping U.S. companies develop market strategies and getting established in China. Mr. Hsiao talked about how it’s a big cultural divide and how most Americans experience culture shock very early on from their experiences in china. Mr. Hsiao "For example, Chinese people don't like to ask questions. They try to figure things out themselves before asking questions... Things like that drive companies crazy." Hsiao explained how he even experienced the same cultural shock, even though he doesn't have any language barriers. Mr. Hsiao also speaks more on this subject on Michigan Innovators.
