Why do some Western companies succeed and others fail in China?

Date & Time: Thursday 27th May (12:00-12:30 pm BST)

China is often considered as a strange and intimidating market for foreign businesses. However, some Western companies appear to have done incredibly well in China, whereas others have tanked miserably – why? What can we learn from examples of ‘winners’ and losers in terms of China corporate strategy? In terms of building value, trust and relationships, how important is localizing the company’s offering and local leadership team when you do business in China?

Join our guest speaker Benjamin Schmittzehe on the 27th May and hear his deep insight gained from 30 years of working in Asia.
