Since adopting market reforms in 1978, China has been among the world's fastest growing economies. China is the United States’ third largest trading partner, so it’s no secret that there are significant opportunities for small and mid-size American businesses in China. If you’re a business leader or entrepreneur wanting to break into this emerging market, the newly published, first edition of Doing Business in China For Dummies is for you. It’s designed for people who are considering investing in China-related businesses, as well as those who are forming strategies for action in the Chinese business world.
Doing Business in China for Dummies is available for sale in more than 20 countries and is on sale in major book stores and available for sale on-line throughout the world.
Whether you’re making your first trip to China, relocating to China, or simply interested in exploring potential opportunities, this straightforward, friendly guide covers all the basics, from the nuts and bolts of basic travel tips to various political, business and legal issues, to navigating the culture, etiquette and language in order to better business correspondence. Doing Business in China For Dummies is like no other book on the topic available, showing readers how to:
- Understand Chinese markets
- Develop a strong business plan
- Find the right employees
- Work with currency controls and the Chinese banking system
- Sell and source in China
- Understand how Chinese politics plays a role in business planning
And that’s not all. Doing Business in China For Dummies shows readers how to have patience (processes take much longer in China than in the U.S.), as well as the importance of building successful business relationships when making and closing deals in China. There are also chapters on Chinese banquets that include information on hosting, etiquette and protocol.
