Doing business in China

Are you preparing yourself, or others in your company, to seek out a supplier, or to market a service, or to invest/set up a JV partnership, or to project manage in China? We have provided consultancy, training workshops and executive mentoring for face-to-face business dealings in China since 1992. We have made award-winning training DVDs/videos showing how cross-cultural misunderstandings commonly occur in interactions with Chinese (and Vietnamese) businesspeople – and how to prevent this happening.
