Business in China - Relationship Building

May 31st, 2007 by China Business Success Stories

Business in China - Relationship Building

Prior to privatisation in China, business only existed in the form of State Owned Enterprise (SOE). These were (and still are) run by people with strong political backgrounds and relationships, usually connected by family ties to someone in the government. This sort of closed organisational structure gave no opportunity for its employees to be involved in any decision-making processes. Often leadership based on strong company ethics and principles was an important factor in decision making and staff motivation, although the extent of government financial support available meant that SOEs frequently didn’t need much in the way of business knowledge or understanding of the market. Success was based rather on good relationship building , which effectively meant getting government financial support.

With the boom of joint venture in the late 80s and early 90s, foreign investors started sending their own managers to interact with the SOE business culture. They were given great packages as incentives to compensate for hard local living conditions. In the 13 years I have been living in China, I have heard stories, too numerous to mention, of foreign managers attending hundreds of banquets and getting drunk with government officials, while the translators took over the communication channels. Most of the time they would have no idea of what was going on, other than that they were expected to drink vast quantities of alcohol, which somehow or other bridged the gap between the two cultures. The main criteria for foreigners to be successful in this business arena were knowledge of the following:
- How to ‘fake’ drinking
- How to recognise who is a decision maker
- How to impress Chinese counterparts by speaking a few Chinese phrases
- How to … Read the rest of “Business in China - Relationship Building” or post a comment

Guanxi at the dinner table (bread for breakfast is bad enough)

Guanxi at the dinner table (bread for breakfast is bad enough)

One of the most striking and instantly recognizable characteristics of Chinese travelers in Europe is their fondness of their own Zhongcan, Chinese food. Having in most cases been forced to satisfy their first appetite of the day in a hotel dining room with bread, cereals and such to them is one of the aggravations of traveling in the West.

All this is readily forgotten when lunchtime and later on dinnertime bring the opportunity to put the chopsticks to good use and dig in for a good familiar Oriental feast. Not in the kind of non-descript restaurants most Dutchmen call “de Chinees” where Indonesian and Southern Chinese-style cooking are strangely intermingled, no, fortunately we have our fair share of authentic Chinese eateries where many dishes from back home are skillfully prepared, and guests from far-flung places such as Sichuan or Heilongjiang are happy enough even to find Guangdong cuisine.

All the readers involved in this medium will surely relate to the pivotal position food along with all its connotations plays in Chinese culture. Therefore in doing business with Chinese partners the importance of the role of eating and drinking Read the rest of “Guanxi at the dinner table (bread for breakfast is bad enough)” or post a comment

Building a business in China

Running athletic hurdles without a clear finish line

By Martijn Hovinga, CEO BilltoBill – Payment Solutions in China

Building a business in ChinaCould anything be easier than achieving success in the world’s fastest growing and potentially biggest market? Isn’t it just about riding the economic tide and sharing in the continuous growth of about 10% in Gross Domestic Product per year?

Foreign companies in China tend to fail more often than that they succeed. In my experience the main obstacles to success are arrogance and ignorance. Virtually every foreigner, including the author of this article and extremely successful companies such as eBay and Google, are guilty of both when starting a venture in China.

As CEO of BilltoBill, a payment services company helping airlines and other merchants selling online in China, I wish to relate some of my personal experiences in building a business in China from scratch. Read the rest of “Building a business in China” or post a comment

Guanxi. The First Word in Chinese Trade

May 24th, 2007 by China Business Success Stories

By Peter Bennett

Guanxi. The First Word in Chinese TradeA colleague once told me that a good indicator of economic confidence was the number of construction cranes on the skyline. If he’s correct, Beijing is feeling good about its prospects, very good in fact.

According to figures recently published by the Associated Press, China’s economy grew at a blistering 9.4 percent in the first three quarters of 2005 alone. Yet a pan-European business poll by parcel firm UPS revealed that almost a third (31 percent) of UK business leaders do not consider Asia to be an important trading or production market.

To ignore the headlines predicting the ‘awakening of the Dragon’ would be commercial suicide: the world economy is undergoing a revolution as a China-led Asia returns to its historic role at the centre of affairs, according to the Financial Times’ Martin Wolf.
