中国企业礼节技巧企业文化在中国是显着与西部企业文化不同。 当做生意与中国人时,对中国商业道德的熟悉可能帮助您。 注意以下技巧是适当的:

Building rapport and negotiations with Chinese, or "No Relationship…No Business!”

September 3rd, 2007 by China Business Success Stories

By Marian Stetson-Rodriguez and A. David Wan

Building rapport and negotiations with Chinese, or SCENARIO: Deal or No Deal - At the end of his week-long visit in Beijing, his third in six months, Peter, a British company director, was frustrated by a lack of progress in the joint venture negotiations with the Chinese. A meeting scheduled for the last day of his stay had just been abruptly canceled and no reason was given. The host sent a car to take the visitors to tour the Great Wall for the day instead. But a farewell dinner that night was re-confirmed! Peter was furious and nervous that the deal was going south. He declined the offer to visit the Great Wall and worked with his team and consultant to try to salvage the deal. He was in no mood for another “relationship-building” ten-course banquet (yan hui) and to tough out rounds of toasting (gan bei) downing the fiery Chinese white wine (bai jiu). At the insistence of the consultant, Peter reluctantly went to the dinner, with a long face. Yet he left Beijing the next day a happy man, with a deal in hand (a signed letter of intent). What happened and why?

Stupid is as Stupid Does: How Chinese Respond to Language Barriers

August 30th, 2007 by China Business Success Stories

By William R. Dodson

How Chinese respomd to Language Barriers“Stupid. You’re stupid!” my Chinese friend accused me. I hadn’t felt I deserved that sort of abuse. I had negotiated a transaction in Chinese language and thought I’d gotten a pretty good deal. My friend persisted in calling me “stupid,” since I could have received the goods for a tenth the price in Beijing. I was near hanging up the phone on my friend in exasperation. The friend, confused, shouted, “Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I think I’ve made a mistake! In Chinese we say “shah” to close friends. It means foolish, stupid. I think I used the wrong English word.” I immediately cooled down once I understood the cultural and linguistic barrier that had blocked our communication – and friendship.

One of the reasons Chinese resort to silence in Western companies is the fear of giving offence. A gaffe of language or culture is a tremendous loss of Face for the Chinese speaker and – the Chinese feels – for the Western listener. As we discussed in another part of The Bamboo Ceiling Series, Face is sometimes more important than money to a Chinese.

18 Practical Tips on Working with a Chinese Partner

August 29th, 2007 by China Business Success Stories

By James Chan

Practical tips on Working with a Chinese PartnerBusinesspeople interested in doing business in China will benefit from knowing the Chinese mindset and practicing the following practical cross-border skills.

Chinese Business Practices

1. Respect their business cards.
The Chinese consider exchanging business cards the same way we consider a handshake. They exchange business cards the moment they greet you. People often present their business cards to you with both hands. Take them with both hands. Don’t put the card away immediately. Rather, place it on the table or hold it in your hand for some time. Make an effort to look at the person’s title. Take plenty of business cards with you when you go to China. It’s advisable to adopt a Chinese name. That will signal to people you’re culturally savvy. Ask a Chinese-speaking friend to help you. Print only your name and title in Chinese. The rest should be in English.

Tips for doing business in China

China is a great place to do business - if you know the ‘rules’

By Jack Daniels

Tips for doing business in ChinaNow that the commercial and industrial infrastructure of Mainland China has reached a stable and sustainable level, many companies are considering establishing purchasing programs there. Drawn by the opportunity to lower costs, broaden supplier bases and localize supply for Asia-Pacific region manufacturing sites, there is a flood of RFQs rushing into China.

China is now a great place to do business but entering any new market has its risks. Here are five steps to take before doing business there:

1. Pick your products carefully
While almost any class of product can be purchased in China, not all make economic or strategic sense. Products which have a majority of their value tied to their raw material content rather than the value-add probably should be purchased close to home. A good example of this model is the bath and kitchen cabinet segment. Particleboard and veneers represent most of the value in cabinets. These raw materials most often originate in North America, so even with Read the rest of “Tips for doing business in China” or post a comment
