The Impact of Chinese Organizations Going Global: Lessons for HR
China has recently emerged as the world's second largest economy. While it is commonly known that China has become the manufacturing epicenter of global production, what may not be as well-known is the number of Chinese companies that are expanding their operations outside of China. Using real world case studies with an emphasis on the strategic and HR implications, Patrick Ran, PhD, SHRM-SCP, will outline some of the expected and perhaps unexpected behaviors these new Chinese multinationals engage in when they set up operations abroad. You will leave this session with a solid understanding of:
- Recent economic growth and environment as well as drivers of change in China.
- The “Going-out Strategy”, paths, challenges and initiatives, models Chinese organizations tend to adopt when expanding internationally.
- The notable insights non-Chinese should know when dealing with Chinese-lead organizations.
