TRIP TO CHINA
As the fastest growing economy in the world and one the most influential countries, it is a pleasure and an honor to travel there for a week and a half in order to study their business styles. The excitement built during these days is huge as china not only has completely different businesses but also a wonderful culture that has seen constant change: from the quing dynasty to the people’s republic of china, and now experiencing an unprecedented economic growth.
The first thing I consider when travelling there and in particular when doing the business is the cultural differences. As I haven’t been there before I do not know first hand what the cultural barriers will be, but I assume that they will be huge. Therefore anticipitating and particularly respecting their culture will be a must when getting to know company’s and individuals. I also believe that language will be a barrier, but considering that most chinese people, specially my generation, are learning Enlgish I believe it will not be hard to communicate. Also Shanghai is the biggest city in the wolrd (in terms of population), covering an area of more that 300km squared. So unlike the rural areas of china, people in Shanghai will be a lot more educated in what languages refers.
My personal perception (mainly influenced by western popular culture) of chinese business is that they are very hard-working, responsible and respectful with traditions. Therefore I will go there with these assumptions and trying to experience all the differences the east side of the world has to offer.
