A Real Story (04 november 2009)

I found some interesting article in a magazine:
A European company organised a party for their Chinese employees ( in China). Very big thing,: cocktail bar, snacks live music, dance floor, drivers..
One of the directors was complaining:
“ These employees don’t appreciate anything. All of them they were just hanging around in little groups without really talking to each other, no drinking, no dancing…Chinese people, we better just give them money. It’s obvious they just care about that”
But this company didn’t knew here employees at all ! Chinese people like to be entertained, give them action and prepare it for them( like karaoke, games), they don’t like the informal snacking while walking around, but want to chat around big round tables, they will not take the initiative and start dancing, they want to be guided..…
How often you forget to make the ‘intercultural switch’? Don’t blame your Asian partners, clients, employees too easy…about not being great full… Maybe It’s just yourself that has to be blamed. by spending all that money on completely wrong ‘gifts’
