After attending this module, you will first work on two different exercises tapping some key aspects of Chinese people’s values, which are most relevant to your possible experiences of Doing Business in China. You will learn these points through your experiential learning exercises and class discussions.Module 2: Doing Business and Managing PeopleThis module will focus on how to manage the people aspect of doing business in China. You will learn through discussion, rich case studies, combined with in-class exercises on Chinese employees’ values and behaviors. This structure will give you firsthand experience and shed light on what it means to (1) manage Chinese employees and (2) do business (whether in collaborative or negotiation) in China.Module 3: Leadership in Chinese Business FirmsThis module will focus on China’s Unique Management Practices how business leaders in China share three distinct perspectives. 1) The view that they have to create their own ecosystem; 2) the Chinese founder-manager believes that he or she will need to build almost everything—basic skills in recruits, suppliers, government ties, capital sources, and often schools for employees’ kids—from scratch and on a large scale; 3) a Confucian preference for simple organizational structures, with everyone reporting to the top. This module will help you understand the radically different management techniques and practices in China organizations.Module 4: Business Practices in the Cultural and Social ContextsUnderstanding eastern and western thinking patterns, it’s important to realize that one of the more subtle aspects of culture and business etiquette has to do the way one thinks. And also the different culture worldview cause a great deal of frustration and distrust between the individuals attempting to work together. The module presents some of the differences between how the Chinese and the Western individuals think about culture and values. You will learn The Importance of Business Customs (or How To Blow a Business Deal), Elements of Chinese Business Etiquette, Chinese Business Practice, and Cultural Resources.Module 5: China, Challenge and OpportunityThough everyone is aware of the rise of China on the international stage, with a country the size of a continent, it is important to understand that China is not just one market. China’s vast territory and large population means that there is wide variation in its industry mix and overall development across the country.
