Course: International Trade and Business in China.

China is the world's largest market with more than 1,369 million potential consumers (25% live in cities). Regarding gross domestic product is the second largest economy (ahead of countries like Japan, Canada, and Brazil). According to the World Bank (WB) is expected that by the year 2020, China will be the first economic power in the World, representing nearly 40% of the world production.

China produces more than half of the world's cameras, 30% of air conditioners and televisions, 25% of washing machines, 20% of refrigerators and 70% of toys. “Galanz” produces 40% of microwave ovens sold in Europe. The Brand “Haeir” is recognised worldwide.

In China, there are cultural and sociological issues extremely different: influence of Confucianism, customs and habits, ancient culture or language difficulty.

Personal relationships (“Guanxi” in Chinese), will be decisive, since under Confucian ethic, the Chinese negotiator will want to guarantee that we are honourable, and therefore we will keep our commitments. If we fail to develop “Guanxi” it is hard to do business in China. This means that negotiations can be made very slow and therefore expensive.

Therefore, we will analyse the case of Chinese firms (Haier, Galanz, Huawei, Cosco, Lenovo, SAIC, Founder, Chinalco, Sinochem), to better understand the organisational Culture of Chinese companies and the influence of Confucian values on the management of these corporations.

We will study the largest economic regions of China:

1. Beijing, as China's political, cultural, and international exchange centre; it is a dynamic city with a broad range of industries. High tech and modern manufacturing sector have become the leading forces of Beijing's industrial growth
2. Since 1992, Shanghai has sustained a double-digit gross domestic product growth rate. The city has seen fast growth in its modern service industries. The pillar industries in Shanghai refer to electronic and information technology products manufacturing, auto making, petrochemical and fine chemical processing, fine steel products manufacturing, complete equipment production, and biomedicine. Shanghai is the largest port on Chinese mainland and one of the largest entrepots in the World
3. Guangzhou has become one of the wealthiest Chinese cities. Its proximity to Hong Kong has allowed its development and the Guangdong region. Guangzhou has such three pillar industries as Automotive, petrochemical, and electronic information manufacturing. Shenzhen is a link between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and a transport hub in coastal Southern China
4. The Greater Pearl River Delta region comprises Hong Kong, nine municipalities of the Guangdong Province in the Mainland China and Macau. Many multi-national companies already enjoy the benefits of this multi-jurisdiction, cost-efficient business model and have established there. Companies can source or manufacture competitively in China and use Hong Kong's logistical, financial, legal, design and marketing services to export their products to the world
5. Hong Kong has a prime location at the geographical and Economic centre of Asia. Business Executives in Hong Kong have fast and easy access to all the largest markets in the Asia-Pacific region. This central position is one of the key reasons for the city's popularity as a location for regional operations
