매혹적 보이면, 더 많은 것은 동부에 있는 방법 사람과 서쪽 사이 대조에 관하여 중국에서 습득한 I 그들의 이름을 사용하고 제목, 나가 생각하기 때문에 어쩌면 우리의 2개의 문화 사이 깊은 다름에 관하여 무언가를 함축한ㄴ다는 것을.

중국에서는, 1 첫번째 개인으로 더 큰 그룹, 그 후에 더 작은 그룹에 관하여, 그 후에 가족 안에, 그리고 저것 직후에, 확인한다. 이것을 설명할 것을 아주 명확하게 우리는 서만 중국 이름 및 주소가 봐야 한다. 당신이 중국에 누구에게 주소를 쓸 때 당신은 첫째로 가정의 사업 단체 또는 위치에 선행된 국가, 지방, 도시 또는 지역을 쓴다. 모든 직후에 이것은, 바닥에, 사람의 이름 온다. 그리고 중국에서, 성 - 또는 성 - 첫째로 온다; 그리고에 아주, 맨 끝은 개인의 이름이다. 저희의 다만 반대. 그리고 혼란은 동부쪽과 서쪽 이름이 추돌할 때 풍부하다.

You doubtlessly have heard and read many different stories about sourcing in China. Some are thrilling and others are scary. But ultimately, what really matters is to understand enough of the ins and outs of the China sourcing scene in order to answer a few key questions for your company: To Source or Not To Source; To Source What and What Not To Source?

Sourcing in China is a hot topic. Nevertheless, decisions to source (or not to), what to source and how to source are not little decisions to take because it seems like a good idea. A sourcing project in China is a time consuming but rewarding exercise. It is not for the ill-prepared but it can lead not only to lower cost quality supplies but also to increased flexibility and improved products.

A one-stop luxury logistics solution

By Russel Beron

Similar to the pharmaceutical supply chain, luxury goods have their own complexities.

Until a few years ago, distribution of luxury goods in China were controlled by state owned companies with little knowledge about sophisticated marketing, distribution and supply chain management strategies. Under WTO commitments, companies like Alfred Dunhill were allowed to open their own stores in China in 2003 – the problem was they didn’t have an effective distribution and logistics solution for mainland China.

They turned to their Hong Kong logistics service provider, Kerry EAS. Formed out of a merger between Kerry Logistics and EAS, an air freight business formerly owned by the national security bureau, Kerry acquired EAS to help them enter the mainland market.. Acquiring EAS allowed Kerry to access a wide distribution network in China. Read the rest of “China’s Supply Chain raises the bar - Part II” or post a comment

The subprime debacle has rattled retail sales in the U.S., forcing many companies to downgrade sales estimates as consumers shy away from checkout counters. Luxury retailers and credit-card companies in the U.S. have recently reported bearish projections for the coming quarters.

China, however, is a retail market on the rise. In 2007 China posted 17% growth in retail spending. Electronics retailers Guomei and Suning posted record numbers, and both paint positive pictures for the future as Chinese consumers continue to buy LCD TVs from LG Electronics and mobile phones from Nokia (NOK).

Much of this continued growth is fueled by Chinese under the age of 32. My firm, the China Market Research Group (CMR), conducted in-depth interviews with 500 Chinese between the ages of 22 and 32 in 10 cities to gauge whether fears of a global slowdown would influence their shopping habits.
