Confucius está ainda vivo em Ásia chinesa (as well as em Japão, Coreia e Vietnam). Provando distante mais forte do que as idéias (do europeu) de Marx ou de Lenin, sua filosofia moral e societal superou fàcilmente os esforços concerted do partido comunista chinês em China “livrou a nação [his] de ensinos feudal.” De Shanghai a Taipei a Hong Kong a Singapore, sua influência pode ser vista em todos os aspectos da sociedade chinesa, uma comunicação especialmente chinesa do negócio.
Os relatórios chineses são enchidos frequentemente com as palavras polidas mas sem sentido; as letras de negócio e os faxes fazem exame de um, e frequentemente dois ou três, parágrafos para começar ao ponto.

Mover-se para China é um desafio grande. Who is going to advise you on whether to rent or buy a house, how to build a network, and where to find the chamber of commerce?

Ron Cune experienced China for the first time during a fantastic holiday. A course in Chinese, an exchange project, and a round-trip further he was devoted to the country. Upon receiving a financial bonus he took his chances: he moved to China. Currently he is staying in a pleasant office in Beijing and his company DragonDancers has reached lightning speed. The philosophy behind the DragonDancers brand name: the Chinese dragon dances through perfect coordination, collaboration and harmony between those that let it move. Cune explains how a Western company can equally move smoothly in the Land of the Dragon.

Doing business is all about communicating. And China happens to play by its own rules in this. An authority on this subject is Marc van der Chijs. In 1999 he moved to China for Daimler Chrysler and now, eight years later, he owns two successful internet companies and is managing partner of China Bay. The secret to his success?

For sure he will be back with a contract, but one which won’t be of much use.” Read the rest of “Tai Chi communication” or post a comment
