Today begins the countdown, in a few days, only 7, I will be landing in Shanghai with 80 of my mates, who are studying masters in the EOI Business School like me. I think it’s time to stop and think about everything I hope from this trip.
Probably the easiest way to make someone change, could be changing everything around him, in his environment. That’s the experience that this trip offers, an opportunity to see things differently, to understand another culture and learn things from it, to improve ourselves. Not every day we can see a country so different and distant from ours.
For the moment I think I cannot imagine yet all the things that this trip can teach to us, but I will try to comment some of these expectations:
China has a different way to do business and if you ever want to negociate with them, you must play with the same rules as them, I think there is no better opportunity to know all of this first hand and to learn how to act on these situations in the future.
China is becoming one of the engines of the global economy, able to sustain growth above 10% in his GDP, it’s supposed to be reflected in their business and how it works. I think it’s really interesting that in many of our afternoons during the trip, we are going to visit some of the largest and most important of these companies, like Volkswagen, Lenovo and many others.
But mornings will be interesting too, thanks to the Tong Ji University and the classes and conferences that we will have there, we will have the opportunity to learn about Business Management in other cultures.
I recently read a little but really interesting book written by Tsun Tzu, an ancient Chinese warrior and philosopher, “the art of war”, the oldest known written on this subject but still studied as one of the most important texts about strategy; this is an example of how the ancient Chinese knowledge and traditions are still present today, I hope to learn much more about this ancient knowledge that haven’t lost its value along the time.
But it’s not only a trip to study, it’s an opportunity to see, meet, learn and taste:
See the big skyscrapers and their views as well as the traditional historical temples.
Meet new people and improve the relationship with my mates and friends who will share the experience with me.
Discover a society of strong contrasts between tradition, technology and progress; discover that culture, the symbols and its people. Taste new foods and flavours like scorpion, snake or any other things, who knows?
Definitely an amazing experience that have to be seized.
