Intercultural Training China

“The Middle Kingdom“ has developed into one of the world’s biggest and most innovative economies. For many companies, China represents a vital production and consumer market, in which they have invested. Within the last 30 years, there have been huge political and societal shifts within China that are still ongoing.

Values in China

Harmony is an important part of the Chinese culture. That might sound plausible, since nobody likes disharmony. But what is going on, when negotiations do not go as planned, just to keep the “harmony”?

China is a country where being part of a group is considered more important than the individual. What this means for doing business in China will be part of our intercultural training for China.

The Chinese Society

Participants of our intercultural training for China will build up knowledge about Chinese society and Chinese culture, which has both been changing rapidly. What used to be acceptable yesterday, maybe considered a faux-pas or maybe even forgotten by today’s generation. How do you deal with different generations in China? How do expectations towards leaders vary?

How do members of the opposite sex treat each other in business situations? Are young business women in China accepted by their male counterparts?

Daily life in China

You can tell by the small things in everyday life how comfortably someone gets around in a foreign country. There is knowledge involved about colors, numbers or shapes or certain items. For example, how to use gift giving for keeping up a friendship.

These and other questions about daily life in China and challenges – like vegan food or school choices – are covered in the China-specific intercultural trainings.
