The group of around 20 MBA students was excited to hear from Manuela Reintgen\u2019s first-hand experience.<br \/>\nThe presentation started at 10 am with curious minds listening attentively. Professor Barretti introduced Manuela to the audience and then she started right off with a quick introduction of Ecovis, followed by the cultural differences between Western countries and China. Especially this topic raised the student\u2019s interest and many questions were asked. The serious topic about showing face in China (\u201e\u9762\u5b50\u201c or \u201e\u8138\u201c) lead to a discussion as the students were curious about the situations in which this occurs and how exactly it may be shown.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecovis.com\/focus-china\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/suffolk_university1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2748\" alt=\"suffolk_university1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecovis.com\/focus-china\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/suffolk_university1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2749\" alt=\"suffolk_university2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecovis.com\/focus-china\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/suffolk_university2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--more-->China, as a High Context Culture, requires an understanding of the implicit meanings in order to develop relationships (\u201e\u5173\u7cfb\u201c) as well as saving the before mentioned face. Manuela\u2019s personal experience which she gained by starting her time in China with an internship and then staying &amp; progressing with her professional life in both Shanghai and Beijing, gave the students many valuable examples and useful advice.<\/p>\n<p>As most of the MBA students are also currently working or have worked in companies before, many questions came up as Manuela came to her second point: \u201cDoing business in China\u201d. The audience followed carefully as she explained the differences in market entry strategies plus their advantages. The most significant point made was regarding the high levels of bureaucracy and the use of instruments such as the company chop and invoices when doing business in China.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2750\" alt=\"suffolk_university3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecovis.com\/focus-china\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/suffolk_university3.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2751\" alt=\"suffolk_university4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecovis.com\/focus-china\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/suffolk_university4.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Manuela finished her presentation with some personal experience from her private life. China, unlike smaller countries, is incredibly large and one will be amazed every single day at the vast variety of unfamiliar places and new experiences presented, even after 5 years. Professor Barretti thanked her \u00a0for her practical oriented speech and at the end of the day everybody had a better insight into the Chinese culture and market that needs to be understood before it can be explored.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to invite one of our experts to speak about doing business in China at one of your events, please feel free contact us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt; color: #c0c0c0;\">with contribution of Brigitte Both (ECOVIS Beijing)<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0ECOVIS Beijing On Monday, 05 May 2014, the Suffolk University invited Ecovis Beijing to the Novotel Peace Hotel for an insight in doing business in China.
