Episode Content:

We sometimes hear SME's complain on the support that can be provided by local representatives of their home country. Our experience has been positive when it comes to network, introductions and support. From a business side you of course have to make it happen, but a little push in the back often opens new doors. Especially as more and more diplomats have gained actual work experience in China, hence our interview with Agnese.

  • Working in a traditional Chinese company for a Chinese boss
  • Giving constructive feedback
  • Chinese method of teaching MBA: selling real estate for your grade
  • Asian negotiations
  • Chinese perception on cosmetics: Korean vs. French brands
  • The significance of language and translators
  • Pitching a small country in China
  • Most important things to consider before you start engaging a Chinese party
  • When and why would you reach out to your commercial representative in China?
  • Being quarantined in Latvia vs in China
