Intercultural Training China

The 'Middle Kingdom' has developed into one of the world's largest and most innovative markets. For many companies, China is an important sourcing and production location in which they have invested, or it represents a lucrative sales market. In the past thirty years, there have been many social and political processes that are far from complete.

Through solid preparation for working abroad, your employees are supported in understanding these processes and successfully navigating the Chinese business environment: What do German businesspeople need to know about themselves and their counterparts in China to avoid costly faux pas, misunderstandings, and conflicts?

About China

The values

Harmony is one of the most important values ​​in Chinese culture. That sounds plausible, because no one likes inharmonious relationships. Or maybe something else is meant when discussions go completely differently than expected, “just” so that harmony is maintained?

The society

Chinese society is changing at a rapid pace and with it Chinese culture. What was valid yesterday may be frowned upon or even forgotten in the next generation. How can you deal with different generations? What different expectations do people have of good managers in China?

Everyday life in China

How you actually get to know your way around another country can be seen in “the pitfalls of everyday life”. What counts here is not only knowledge of correct communication and etiquette, but also knowledge of cultural symbolism - colors, shapes or objects. For example, how do you use gifts to nurture relationships? And at the same time, do you have the issue of compliance under control?

Values in China

Harmony is one of the most important values in Chinese culture. This sounds plausible, as no one likes disharmonious relationships. Or does it perhaps mean something else when discussions take an unexpected turn, ‘just’ to maintain harmony?

At the same time, you may encounter things in China that you might consider blatantly rude. How does this discrepancy arise, and how do you deal with it?

The group matters more than the individual—China is a country with a strong group orientation. What this means for business contacts, you will learn in the intercultural training for China.

Society in China

Chinese society is changing at a rapid pace, and with it, Chinese culture. What was true yesterday may be frowned upon or even forgotten by the next generation. How can one handle the different generations? What varying expectations exist in China for good leaders?

How do different genders interact in the Chinese business environment? For example, are young women professionally recognized in the same way as young men?

Everyday Life in China

How well one truly knows another country is revealed in the 'pitfalls of everyday life.' It's not just about knowledge of correct communication and etiquette but also understanding cultural symbolism—colors, shapes, or objects. For instance, how does one use gifts to maintain relationships while also keeping compliance in check? This 'everyday knowledge' is covered in the China training. In addition, you will receive answers to everyday questions such as school selection, childcare, medical care, or vegan nutrition.
