The workshop is delivered in English and no prior Chinese knowledge is required. The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with an awareness of China and Chinese business culture with a series of 25 minute bite-size sessions. Participants will see the similarities to their own business culture as well as learning about the differences, how to spot them and manage them appropriately. Each workshop has a theme so participants can learn practical skills that will make business interactions with China more successful. Each business culture workshop has a matched 25 minute bite-size Chinese oral class that focuses on helping participants learn a few practical Chinese expressions which are appropriate in a particular business setting. There are 8 workshops in total from Monday to Thursday between April 12th to 22nd.
