  • Don’t greet the guy sitting by the door first — 10 pages of advice from Harvard Business School on how to negotiate in China;
  • How the brain makes us fall into line with others — and how marketers can cash in on that hard-wiring;
  • Tips for keeping staff in emerging markets with high inflation (pay rises need to be more frequent that once a year, for a start);
  • The rules of movie marketing.
