Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce: 434-836-6990Understanding Business in an International Context
UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
A China Case Study
Since economic reforms began in the late 1970's, China's economy has picked up steam in growth rate, size and complexity, resulting in a greater regional and global relevance. Since this period, Danville has also engaged in its own transformation, adopting a new approach to enhance its economic relevance in the global economy. As such, Danville is outward facing and continues to welcome investors from across the world. With new opportunities, come new responsibilities, including understanding business in an international context. Spend an afternoon discussing a China case study, not only to understand how to achieve success with Chinese counterparts, but also to extrapolate guiding principles for understanding business in an international context.
This case study will track an American business enterprise entering the Chinese market in order to find a Chinese commercial counterpart. While identifying reliable resources and key steps for this journey, the case study will deliver a core focus on successfully entering an agreement with a Chinese counterpart, which includes a discussion of key legal and regulatory issues, cross-cultural communication concepts, and practical drafting issues.
