How do the cultural differences affect business relationships between US and Chinese firms?
Books can be written on this topic, but it is a question often raised during our initial meetings with prospective clients. The short answer, the cultural differences affect everything. More specifically, the Chinese think in a qualitative manner while Western business thinks quantitatively. They think in shades of gray, we think in black and white. One thing to keep in mind: As uncomfortable as we are with shades of grey, they are with black and white. Although challenges exist, the differences in culture will continue to provide pioneering firms in the US with opportunities.
