Obstáculos atléticos Running sem uma linha de revestimento desobstruída
Por Martijn Hovinga, CEO BilltoBill - soluções do pagamento em China
Podia qualquer coisa ser mais fácil do que conseguindo o sucesso no crescimento o mais rápido e no mercado potencial o mais grande do mundo? Não é apenas sobre a equitação a maré econômica e compartilhar no crescimento contínuo de aproximadamente 10% no produto doméstico bruto por o ano?
As companhias extrangeiras em China tendem a falhar mais frequentemente do que aquela elas sucede.
Em minha experiência os obstáculos principais ao sucesso são arrogance e 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

1. The traditional Chinese “handshake” consists of interlocking the fingers, waving them up and down several times. This greeting is rarely used today (except during festivals, weddings and birthdays of the elderly), instead using the Western-style handshake. A slight bow should often accompanies the handshake, but do not bow from the waist in the style of the Japanese. The Chinese prefer a gentler handshake than the firm grip expected in Western cultures. Physical contact other than a handshake is highly discouraged unless you know someone quite well.
2. Chinese names are “reversed” from Western names. The surname is said first and then the given name. For example, Bruce Lee’s name in Cantonese is Lee Siu Lung. Lee is his surname and spoken first, and the given name (Little Dragon) is spoken second.
Professional, social, and family titles always follow the name as well. Dr. Wong would be Huang Yi Sheng (Huang Doctor). Likewise, Xiansheng (Mr.) and Taitai (Mrs.) are said after the surname. Never call someone by only his last name, and unless specifically asked, do not call someone by his first name; always address your Chinese associates by their surname followed by their title. Also, never address anyone as “Comrade.” Read the rest of “Top 10 Chinese Business Culture "Dos" and "Don'ts"” or post a comment

In the quest for the essence of doing business with China, Hong Kong is historically speaking a logical port of call. In this dynamic city with a population of more than 7 million, we team up with Daniël Ben-Ezra, Media Director of Spotz Media. December 2005, he severed his ties and set out for China, armed with a pocket sized Lonely Planet. What are his findings so far? Can he confirm the prevailing prejudices about the Chinese and doing business in China? Or does he dispel any form of cultural clash? Read the rest of “China demands common sense” or post a comment
