Insights about China for European students – Want to Do Business in China?
Lin, a young Chinese girl traveling through Europe confessed that this programme is a great opportunity for European students who want to take advantage of the growing economy in China. Take for example Starbucks, she says, if this Western company did not understand the Chinese culture and the country’s dynamics they would not have been so successful with their aggressive growth in this emerging market. “Now, I am able to sip my Green Tea Latte and enjoy my favorite leaf teas from Starbucks in China,” her eyes spark and she sinks into Starbucks oblivion. She still looks forward to seeing more of European premium products whether food or clothing in the Chinese stores. Might you be their future exporter to the Chinese market?
