Successfully Negotiating with China
Early fall
“We've been negotiating this contract for 6 months now but it still seems to get nowhere." "I thought we already closed that item. Why are we discussing it again?" Whether you are a customer, a supplier or a partner, negotiating with China can present a unique challenge. Businesses frequently discover, through trial and error, that what works in the U.S. do not generate the same results in China. What are the top challenges businesses face in negotiating with China, how do the Chinese perceive these challenges, and what strategies can you employ to successfully navigate through this process? These are the topics we will explore in this one-hour webinar. Anyone who is currently involved with doing business with China or is preparing to do so will gain valuable insights on this critical part of business.
Presented by Joy Huang, President, Connect East LLC , a skillful coach and trainer in cross-cultural negotiations, with years of industry experience. Ms. Huang is originally from China and received her MBA. at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
