From IBM to Wang Laboratories

           After spending seven years with IBM I was worried about becoming stagnate in the promotion rate up the ladder in staff at IBM. So I decided to look elsewhere at another company. I soon found myself enticed with the aspects of An Wang who was the Chinese American Founder of Wang Laboratories. He gave a phenomenal speech that captivated me about where the world was going with technology and how he saw it. As expected his company was doing fantastic, even to the point where demand for products exceeded that of the supply the company had, causing shortages. Now normally that may seem bad at first in a economic stand point but for a business starting out it means you have relevance in the market. This also means potential business for the company. So I began working with An Wang and was able to lead his sales department division. At first it was difficult to adjust because the consumers I had to sell to weren't of regular Americans. I had to overcome ethnocentrism and adjust to a different culture of individuals. Nevertheless things worked out great for me.
