This program will start with a list of 30 Comprehensive Planning Factors (CPFs).  Whether you are initiating a new business venture in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), reengineering an existing operation, or involved in import/export activities, you are facing a host of business, legal, operational and cultural challenges.  If you have an existing entity in China, you may be concerned with its long-term viability given the current business environment and political climate in the PRC and worldwide.  The changing world landscape means that keeping your business vital lends itself to being a process rather than a one time event. 

This intensive seminar will examine the following issues through real life experiences:

- Identifying the critical success factors and establishing expectations

- Planning for a business entity initiation/reengineering

- Managing the implementation process

- Selecting, communicating and networking with Chinese partners, suppliers, distributors, vendors, etc.

- Screening, selecting, hiring, training, developing and retaining local staff

- Establishing an optimal 'oversight' process

- Dealing with corruption, intellectual property protection and related issues

- Understanding the effects of cultural nuances while conducting business operations

- Understanding the business environment and management framework and its implications for your business
