Starting a business from scratch in any industry is difficult in any country. Starting a business in which you have had no prior experience, in a country where you have never worked and whose language you cannot speak is almost beyond comprehension. But it is possible, says Jack Perkowski. He did exactly that in China in 1994 when he founded ASIMCO Technologies, building it into a $500 million company with plants in China and offices in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Rider’s Center for International Business hosted “China’s Developing Markets and Their Impact on the World,” where Perkowski described his experiences and discussed the current business climate in the world’s most populous country. 
Like most entrepreneurs, Vincent Padalino was drawn by the lure of earning money. Selling graphics T-shirts out of the trunk of his car, Padalino, then a student at Lawrence (N.J.) High School, was creating shirts one at a time to fill specific orders. Then, as an Entrepreneurial Studies major at Rider, he obtained a license and formed Vestiwear, LLC, to sell his edgy brand of customized T-shirts. The budding businessman captured first place in the New Jersey Student Entrepreneur of the Year for 2009 awards at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, sponsored by Edison Venture Fund.
