In addition to providing consulting services in the areas of marketing, human resource management, safety and environmental compliance, and government affairs, I am also Director of Special Projects for China Business Network, a leading consultancy which specializes in helping mid-tier manufacturers deal with the challenges and opportunities of doing business in China.
For over 25 years, China Business Network (CBN) has worked closely with foreign companies establishing operations in China. Formed in 1978, at the very outset of China’s open-door policy, CBN was instrumental in helping to create the very first modern Sino-foreign joint venture. Since then CBN has played a central role in some of the most successful and long-standing commercial ventures and projects, advising many of the world’s leading companies and trade groups.
CBN can assist with each stage of project development; from planning through implementation. By placing distinct emphasis on both the strategic and operational factors governing an effective China strategy, we help to ensure that each client has a thorough understanding of all mission critical issues and access to essential specialist resources.
Our dedicated business divisions in China, Europe and the US provide a fully integrated network of experienced professionals who, working within pragmatic timeframes and budgets, help to accelerate the overall development cycle.
The range and size of projects CBN manages mirrors the diversity of our clients; from developing and managing complete supply chain solutions to establishing joint ventures and wholly-owned foreign enterprises in China.
If you are looking for answers to the serious questions globalization poses for your industry, and are concerned about the impact of China on your business, contact us for for a no-obligation assessment.
If you are a mid-tier manufacturer just beginning to feel the impact of China from your domestic customers, and need to know more about China's manufacturing challenges and opportunities, consider joining us on the September 17 - 25, 2005, China Business Network Mid-Tier Manufacturers China Trade Mission.
Delegates will visit and tour a variety of Chinese manufacturers - from state sector companies struggling with the transition to modern industrial organizations, to state-of-the-art companies in the rapidly emerging private sector, and, especially, leading foreign invested enterprises which have deserted domestic manufacturing and set up operations in the “factory shopfloor of the world.” By experiencing the strengths and weaknesses of China-based manufacturers first-hand, delegates will better understand their own crucial role as long-term collaborators, not short-term competitors. Understanding the dynamics of this cooperative approach to China’s strengths and weaknesses is to understand the essence of globalization itself.
