		<description><![CDATA[Management consultants and academics who look at negotiation sometimes place counterparties on a matrix of 2 dimensions – concern for others’ goals and concern for one’s own goal. 
 Competitive negotiators care only about their own needs and nothing for the counterparties.  They are Win-Lose negotiators.
 Accommodators are those that care more about their counterparty’s needs than their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently asked to give a talk on negotiating a first deal in China.  Talking to a group of new ex-pats about the cultural norms of doing business in China used to be a hot industry in Shanghai, and there are still plenty of people making good money at it.  I’m finding, however, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Negotiating with Chinese counter-parties is getting easier all the time, but there are plenty of situations to look out for. Many westerners who enter into a negotiation with a Chinese counter-party are so sensitive to cultural and interpersonal issues that they lose sight of business issues. Big mistake.
Deals in China can go off the rails [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China’s markets have become much more sophisticated and complicated in just the last few years.  That improved sophistication is a double-edged sword for new market entrants.  On the one hand, localization of products and services is getting easier as market research becomes available.  Quality levels are rising, the regulatory environment is becoming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If a counter-party lies to you once, they will lie to you again. This is true ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, but for some reason, western investors and managers looking to do their first deal in China need to be reminded of this.
Just for the record, a lie includes:
Saying they have already have ISO 9000 certification [...]]]></description>

What do you know you don’t know?
What do you NOT know you don’t know?
Sounds like a word game, or a  &#8216;new age&#8217; philosophy discussion.  In China, though, figuring out what you DO NOT know is your top priority for surviving your first year.  Before you start doing RESEARCH on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was on the Shanghai subway recently – which is looking a little less shiny and new these days. It is still damned impressive though - bordering on ‘Sci-Fi’ to a New Yorker who is used to standing on naked concrete platforms as the antique R train goes shambling past. But here, in the futuristic [...]]]></description>

Overseas SMEs should think of business in China like a race.  Local Chinese managers like to sprint off the line [...]]]></description>
