Business in China

An international assignment in China can be a challenging and stressful experience and a failure to adapt to a new set of cultural rules and behaviours can cause frustration and misunderstanding. Our training courses are designed to respond to the needs of international assignees by providing practical information and advice on the various aspects of living and working in China, as well as conveying an understanding of the underlying elements that shape Chinese culture inside and outside the workplace.
