How are we different from other East Asian business consultants?
- While other China consultants provide briefings on local customs, social norms, business practices, political climate, we are the ONLY consultancy specialized in the psycho- cultural and behavioural aspects of doing business in China, and dealing with the Chinese in general.
- Although every China specialist would emphasize the importance of Confucianism to Chinese society, few have been able to articulate its psychological and behavioural influence on the Chinese and the way they do business.
- Being a world leader in East Asian psychology, we are best equipped to show you how to develop effective psychological strategies for your business in China.
- Unlike other China business strategists, who tend to base their advice on mere anecdotal examples and subjective experience, we base our strategic business consulting mostly on our own internationally acclaimed research.
- While most management consultants on the China market still operative within the Western paradigm of 'individualism and collectivism', we have developed an INDIGENOUS PARADIGM that enables you to understand Chinese business practice from a Confucian psychological/behavioural perspective. We are able to provide you with a distinctive and exclusive advantage over your competitors.
- Apart from our specialization on the Chinese, we have also developed a highly acclaimed expertise in East-West Comparison and Analysis in Social/Business Psychology & Behaviour which is of critical importance for Western expatriates who have to conduct complex marketing, management or negotiation work in the East Asian region in general and in China in particular.
- Not only do we provide an inter-cultural consulting program on East-West comparisons and contrasts for business, we have also developed an equally sought-after intra-cultural program on East Asians: how East Asians compare with each other in their thinking and behaviours. If your company operates cross-culturally in a multi-national environment in East Asia, this exclusive, incisive, extremely relevant program would be a MUST for you and your executives.
Our China/East Asia cultural briefing is:-
- Culturally Appropriate--In contrast to the ethnocentric individualism-collectivism model, our indigenous psychological paradigm enables you to understand the Chinese (East Asian) psyche and behaviour from an indigenous perspective that avoids cultural distortions likely to damage your business interests.
- Highly Innovative--Dr. Stephen Cheng's world-first East Asian thinking and behaviour paradigm enables you to understand the Chinese and other East Asians in an innovative, yet easy to grasp conceptual model, giving you a distinct edge over your competitors.
- Psycho-Behavioral--Unlike what other consulting firms offer you, our cultural briefing programs are focused on the psychological and behavioural analysis of the Chinese and other East Asians from a Confucian perspective which underpins their business behaviours, ethical orientations, management styles, negotiation strategies and much, much more.
- Empirically-Based--In contrast to other cultural briefings, which have been mostly theoretical and speculative, Dr. Cheng's exclusive paradigm which has been validated by the massive empirical findings in his highly acclaimed doctoral and post-doctoral work.
- Practically Oriented--Above all, our model is so potent, and yet so user friendly, that we can guarantee that it would enable YOU to decipher the Chinese mind without any difficulties. With such a powerful tool, we CAN make your dealings with your Chinese clients, negotiators, executives, joint-venture partners, students, customers or employees so much easier.
No one wants to miss out on the business opportunities in China. However, in order to reap the rewards, it calls for more than mere business acumen, courage, or determination, as most of what works in the West would not work in East Asia, as many have already learnt the hard way.
