Living and Working in China
This year the Asian market is very attractive, especially China is the focus of many organizations. Since China joined the WTO, many organizations have invested in Chinese Joint Ventures and privately owned companies. This offers a tremendous opportunity and potential for German companies.
There a lot's of success stories, but increasingly more losses and frustrations. A number of companies have lost their investment and technical know-how, or the potential business stalled or failed already during the initial stage.
Why?
While the Chinese managers have adapted to the conventional and international business style, they will always hold onto some of their cultural values and beliefs. The Chinese culture was shaped over 5,000 years through the historical and political background and the structure of business and social life.
As the German executives often cannot handle the Chinese business culture, problems are predicted.
