Shanghai, new experience.
Here I am. I have been studying at EOI Business School since 4 months ago, and this is my first post. Being honest, I am excited by this fact because I love doing new things in life. But, why did not I write till now? There are many reasons: from lack of time to seek of ideas for talking about.
However, I will travel to Shanghai tomorrow, so I found the perfect excuse to start with this useful tool. The reason for the trip is to learn how to do business in China, besides of making institutional and professional contacts. I supposed you can understand now why this is such a perfect moment to initiate the blog. Moreover, I always find interesting to measure the improvements I get when I focus on a target. Indeed, I would try to describe trough this post what I think about what I should consider when doing business in China. Finally, I will compare and contrast my initial ideas (written here) with the lessons learned.
I think that it is obvious that if you want to start doing business in a country, first of all you must know how the country is from the point of view of laws and the politic and economic system. This set your behaviour and your possibilities of doing business (would you have the same strategy in Cuba than in USA, for example?).
Once you have studied the legal framework of the country, it is necessary to remember that the relations are the basis for doing business. So it is extremely important knowing the Chinese culture and protocol. We must pay attention to our behaviour, because what is usual for us, can be rude for others cultures. Gaining the respect and trust of the Chinese interlocutor should be the priority, and realise that if we lost it, we would miss out the chance on developing the business. Knowing some words in Chinese could be another positive point because it would allow us to generate empathy.
Summing up, when you want to do business in other countries, like China in this case, try to learn as much as possible about the country, the people and culture.
