The colloquy will be given by Ms. Claire Wang, Chinese culture and language instructor, and business associate for CIS Education. It will deal with a number of “cultural insights” and “etiquette requirements” in respect of the current business and management climate in China (what are the social and cultural conventions in creating relationships with Chinese counterparts? How to tackle “management” issues? How to get messages through?). Concepts like individual versus team, hierarchy, code of conduct will be addressed based on real life situations.
The talk will also deal with a certain number of the social “puzzles” of modern China, such as the one child policy, the religion, the social welfare system, etc. Throughout the talk, certain basic concepts of the Chinese language and communication will be explained.
