What Everyone Should Know About Conducting Business in China March 24, 2010

Doing business in China is tougher than you think. Not only is the culture vastly different, but China's experience in manufacturing is also still developing.

Through 20 extraordinary executive interviews, Rosemary Coates captured the essence of sourcing and manufacturing in China. These executives offer their personal experiences, going beyond simple cultural do's and don'ts. Together with her own experiences throughout Asia, she has authored a new book, '42 Rules for Sourcing and Manufacturing in China,' available at Happy About.com and Amazon.com

You will learn:
[*] How Chinese history has influenced the way business is conducted today
[*] Why it's inevitable that you will do business with China
[*] How education shapes business dealings
[*] Sourcing and qualifying Chinese manufacturers
[*] Quality fade in Chinese products

If you are currently (or considering) doing business in China, you'll want to pick up Rosemary's book and/or come to this event to hear her talk and get a copy of her book for free.
