As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, China presents exciting business opportunities. But to form successful business relationships in China, it is essential to know how to communicate with your Chinese counterpart more effectively. Unless you can speak fluent Chinese and have a decent understanding of the culture, communicating with your business connections in China can sometimes be frustrating. Find the right way and it could help you to breeze through the process.
The agenda for this webinar session (9:30am to 10:30am GMT) will be:
- Why ‘giving face’ is relevant to doing business in China
- How to understand and build ‘guanxi’ in China
- Communicating effectively with your Chinese contacts: how / what / who / when
- How to avoid your important messages getting lost in translation
