Abstract
An opportunity to have a foreign partner to oversee business in the foreign country is not one that should be taken lightly. Almeida Supplies, aware of the fact, sent me, along with a team of delegates, to oversee the meeting that would see the pilot investment kick off. Before leaving for china, it was necessary to understand the do’s and don’ts in the Asian country. With the facts at hand and known to every member of the delegation, it would be easy to interact with the partners in china without mishaps. The paper contains a brief introduction of why china was chosen as a destination and the cultural practices of the Chinese people to watch out for.
Globalization has opened doors to a lot of opportunities with many firms across the globe seeking to have investments in foreign countries. Foreign investment is not only useful as a source of extra revenue but is also a safety haven. In the event that the economy in the domestic country turns sour, there would be a source of solace for the company in the country in which the foreign investment is. As such, while choosing a foreign country in which to invest in, among other factors, the investor should consider how well the economy of the destination country is doing (Collins & Block, 2011). Following major research into markets and ease of doing business, Almeida Supplies settled for China as a destination for the company’s pilot foreign investment.
The decision to head east was based on the fact that China is not only a populous country, but also one that has become a hub for foreign investment. In the year 2014, for instance, foreign investment in the country increased by 4 billion from the previous year (Hannon, 2015). The case did not only happen within one year but, rather, started as early as 2002 (Worm, 2008). Almeida considered the fact that one must set up a business in an economy where he or she shall feel welcome to conduct the business in the case that he or she is to make any substantial profits. Once all the required arrangements were made, it was clear that there needed to be a partner in China to help the company run its business. Working with an individual who knows the needs of the Chinese people would help Almeida have an upper hand in the Chinese market compared to other foreign companies.
The delegation to China to meet the investment partner, however, has to be aware of the do’s and don’ts in the country if the meeting between them is to end up in a mutual understanding. An understanding of the cultural ways of the Chinese people is important in aiding the events of the meeting. The fact that the delegation would be dealing with people from an entirely different culture would call for them to know what is regarded and disregarded in the said culture. As the leader of the team, I made clear the do’s and don’ts while in china.
