MY RESEARCH AND WRITING EXPLORE HOW LAW, DATA, AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ARE RESHAPING GLOBAL MARKETS, GOVERNANCE, AND DECISION-MAKING 

Books

​​EC was the first comprehensive book to explore China’s e-commerce revolution, revealing the forces that truly drive innovation in the world’s largest digital economy.

The models and trends identified continue to shape how East and West approach digital transformation and AI adoption today

Praise for East-Commerce

I have never read such a penetrating exploration of China’s e-commerce scene. Not only does it cover the unique characteristics of China’s e-commerce landscape but it also delves into the cultural motivators of the Chinese people who are uniquely passionate about online shopping.
