    Overview of Business Culture in China

    For much of the world, business culture in China remains widely misunderstood, unstudied, or completely mysterious. Like any other country, China has its distinct expectations, customs, and etiquette for how business should be conducted. Chinese corporations are very proud of their traditions and therefore take them very seriously.

    Failure to conform to Chinese business etiquette can prove detrimental to companies that hope to break into the country's markets. One can even fail to expand in China without a proper Chinese brand name. The unique expectations for Chinese business practices are often a stumbling block for poorly informed companies. Without the proper understanding of business culture in China before engaging Chinese firms, organizations find themselves with a poor foundation and are often unable to accomplish what they set out to achieve.

    Philosophy and Business in China

    China is renowned for its rich culture and history. This national identity seeps into nearly every facet of Chinese society; business is no exception. Confucianism, named for the prolific Chinese philosopher and his teachings are a central concept in Chinese cultural makeup.

    One of the essential tenets of Confucianism is the implementation of a clearly defined hierarchy. An individual's rank corresponds with the amount of respect that they should receive from others. In this regard, disrespect or irreverence for leadership is rarely tolerated and often offensive. In his book, Chinese Business, and Culture, Kevin Bucknall emphasizes the importance of understanding this hierarchy structure and how it manifests in Chinese business culture. As he notes and individual's ranking may be subject to change depending on their contributions or usefulness, but the orders themselves – along with the expectations for behavior associated with them – never change.

    Another critical component of doing business in China is Guanxi. Guanxi is an abstract concept that represents a person's network and connections. More profoundly, it refers to an individual's relationship with different people and how those relationships can be leveraged into favors that are ultimately reciprocated. When trying to create new connections, it is commonplace to have an intermediary who is already well connected with Chinese enterprises to facilitate the meeting and future communications.

    Overview of Business Expectations in China

    Xinergy's analysts have determined that for enterprises looking to break into Chinese markets, it is of the utmost importance that their employees also work to understand the basic tenets of Confucianism and translate them into their interactions with Chinese corporations.

    The Confucian value of hierarchy has created a mostly vertical communication system and behavior in the Chinese business culture. Because of this hierarchy, meetings are often held between individuals who share relatively equivalent positions of power, as they are considered socially equals.

    Chinese professionals are very conscientious of their reputation, so firms are cautious when taking risks and are incredibly wary of opportunities that they consider uncertain. It might take several meetings for them to choose what action to take with new ventures, and only high-ranking executives are allowed to make such decisions; it is expected that subordinates will not share their opinions on such matters.

    Here is also some very peculiar informations about Chinese business customs and etiquette

    Understanding Business Etiquette in China

    • Introduce yourself. Before engaging in business negotiations, it is customary to exchange pleasantries. Make sure to be kind and courteous. Keep things light. Respectful small talk before the meeting is expected and encouraged. You may be asked if you have eaten or if you are hungry. Such a question is typical in Chinese business etiquette. Even if you have not eaten, it is common to respond that you are fine. Such communication is considered a routine part of exchanging pleasantries.
    • Nod your head or even bow when meeting somebody new. Handshakes are also common but wait for the Chinese individual to extend their hand before engaging them physically.
    • Exchange business cards when they meet others for professional matters. Like many other countries, Business etiquette in China dictates that one should share their personal information with the people they meet. However, unlike other countries, in China, hold the card with both hands while presenting it to an individual as this gesture is a sign of respect and reverence.
    • Preparation is key. Bring high-end materials to meetings. There should be enough documents for everyone in the room to have a copy. Printing extras on quality paper is always a good idea.
    • Be punctual. Showing up late may be considered a sign of disrespect. Make sure to research the company you intend to meet with and be prepared to discuss your own business.

    Looking for the right CTO

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:20 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm a sole entrepreneur working on my platform startup based in UAE, and I've found a potential CTO.

    Let me tell you what stage my startup is at:

    - Website is fully functional

    - App coding and prototype are both ready

    - trade mark registered

    - Commercially Licensed

    - No traction as it is not yet launched

    But there are few minor software adjustments that need to be made along with a few legal points to address. They both require money to be done.

    (the CTO I'm considering was initially handling my outsourced developers).

    I have a few business related questions tho,

    1. What to consider when bringing in a CTO?
    2. How to legally protect my startup initially before committing to anything incase things don't work out (what should be mentioned in the shareholders agreement) ex. vesting and cliff period
    3. What would be a reasonable amount of equity? (he's investing both effort and money, his monetary investment might be around 30% of what I invested)
    4. He's bringing in his own developers, so would I need to consider them in the agreement or the license?

    and finally, what should be when? (I know this is very broad, but I'm trying my best to make sure that I can get all the help possible)

    If there are any questions I may have missed out on, please do share any points I should be taking into consideration and looking into.

    Thank you!

    Do NDAs need business address included?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 09:51 PM PST

    Some context for the situation: Sending an NDA to manufacturer before I disclose the items I want included in the product they are making for me using their base product. They have a building address but I am starting an e-commerce business (only shipping in Canada and maybe USA in future) using products they will manufacture so there wont ever really be an actual business address. Do I just use my home address? Does the NDA need an address on my side or can it just have their address but none for my part?

    All the NDAs I've seen thus far have had addresses for both parties but they were for businesses using store fronts to sell products so I'm unsure if e-commerce ones need them as well.

    Hey everyone! I'm working on my MBA capstone project, and we're trying to understand frequent frustrations with common business processes like accounting/tax prep or business banking that might be difficult or time consuming.
