Hongkie habla chino

28 de junio de 2007 por historias del éxito del negocio de China

Hongkie habla chinoAunque el Chow de Stanley de Hong Kong no ha venido de lejos, China sigue siendo un ojo-abrelatas para él. Hace dos años que él consiguió invitado a China por CCG (grupo central de la comunicación) a la ayuda una a cinco compañías más pequeñas. Él descubre las diferencias mil y una entre la gente, las culturas, los skillsets, las experiencias, la atmósfera del trabajo, y las formas de vida. ¿Su asignación? Para establecer una colaboración armoniosa. ¿Cómo él maneja eso? El “ser honesto es la llave.”

Mientras que un Chow de Hongkie verdadero del `' (gente llevada y criada en Hong Kong) se trae para arriba en el conocimiento que su futuro es atractivo. “Hay escritor muy bien-respetado en Hong Kong que escribió un artículo nombrado `que soy un Hongkie'. Él explicó que Hong Kong ha tenido prosperidad muy buena durante los veinte años pasados, y que son las ocasiones altamente favorable para todo el Hongkies. Por lo tanto pudimos haber venido pensar que somos un poco mejores que el chino del continente. Pero por supuesto, no somos. La cosa más importante que aprendí sobre me cuando vine a China, es que todavía tengo mucho aprender. Apenas sea veraz a se sobre esto.”

Ábrase
El Chow no tiene ninguna duda Westerners puede aprender del chino. Los “chinos saben la cultura china. Sería un gran pecado para no utilizar su conocimiento. Qué usted tiene que ganar el excedente es la reticencia china. Cuando usted pide a hombre chino su opinión, él pensará de las consecuencias de su respuesta demasiado. Lleva el tiempo para él el `se abre'. It’s a matter of trust.”

Western discipline
And the other way round? Can China learn from the West? One of the biggest cultural differences Stanley Chow noticed in China in discipline. “For example, when you go to a bus station in Hong Kong, you automatically queue. In China, you can put up a big sign at the bus stop, saying ‘Please form a queue here’, but they will make sure that they’re the first to get on that bus. Foreigners frown upon this kind of behaviour. The necessary discipline, along with experience in communicating with Western people, is something useful the Chinese can learn.”

Keep asking
How do you become a role model for your Chinese colleague? According to Chow the earlier mentioned honesty, as well as transparency and integrity are the key to success. “What you want to do is to make them feel that, even though you are their manager, you are also learning from them. Show them you care about their opinion. A very convenient way to do this is to keep asking questions. Obviously out of real interest, never as a ‘trick’. Ask about their home town, their culture, their habits, education, wishes, experiences, and ask about their profession. Doing so, you will explore skillsets in your company, you will start to build on trust and encourage them to speak out more freely. All at the same time.”

Hybrid business motor
Another tip that Chow would give everyone who comes to China, is to cherish your own values. Why? “People who enter the Chinese market sometimes tend to be personally altered by the Chinese culture too much. They over-adapt. My advice: “Just live the way you are living”. China is internationalizing very rapidly, which means that your Western way of thinking is welcome. The Chinese are eager to learn from you. If you want to make your business an all-Chinese thing, why not let the Chinese take care of it themselves? We need to do this together. With a lot of interaction and integration. At the end of the day the business motor will become a hybrid of the different cultures. Exactly what the Chinese are looking for.”
