    Problem solving is a good example of how things are managed differently in China. If you are owed outstanding sums of monies for example, writing a polite letter of demand (a usual practice in most western business cultures) and fore-warning of legal action is not an effective Chinese way of achieving satisfactory outcomes . The detailed specifics of, your China relationships, the communication, the business context and the business culture need to be analysed and taken into account, for you to in fact, most effectively achieve outcomes satisfactory to you and your Chinese counterpart.

    Our comparatively adversarial & transactional approach negates the overarching relational norms of the Chinese guanxi culture. Lateral strategies, are needed, to problem solve, negotiate with your Chinese counterpart & manage the subtleties of the Chinese context.

    Honing not only your understanding of negotiations but also further developing your negotiating skills and strategies, will stand you in good stead not only in problem solving but also in your day to day communication in China. An extremely well refined Chinese sense of negotiating in, what is a bargaining culture often can mean that you can be at a loss as to when you can negotiate and how you should negotiate to achieve what you want in China.

    ANGELA CHANG CONSULTING design & conduct negotiations workshops for our clients. Our initial detailed analysis phase ensures your needs, business contexts and issues are the focus of the workshop. We have designed and conducted workshops for companies which are new to China right through to designing workshops for those companies that have have been long established and have extensive experience in China.
