Webcasts on CD: Doing Business in China: A Practical and Cultural Guide for HR Managers
October 23, 2007
Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minster of Singapore, once said “to be part of the Asian dynamism, Westerners do not need to become Asians in culture, in values, or in habits...but it is necessary for Westerners to understand Asians, to feel at ease with Asians and to make Asians feel at ease with them.”
This statement is particularly applicable today for Western companies doing business in China. There is no doubt that China is and will continue to be a global hotspot for business. Yet many Western companies that rush haphazardly into China without fully understanding its business culture and mentality ultimately meet with failure. This webcast presentation first provides crucial information on investing in China and dealing with the recent unionization push and changes to labor laws. It then goes one step further to give insight into communication and management techniques that have proven effective in the Chinese business context. This 90 minute recorded session includes the 60 minute presentation, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A from the live event.
