When expanding into new markets, international companies face a number of challenges in terms of managing their business networks. In the Chinese context specifically, there are a number of key considerations that firms must take into account in order to be successful.
First and foremost, it is important to build strong relationships with local partners. This includes both government officials and private sector companies. Establishing these connections early on will pay dividends later when it comes to navigating the often complex regulatory landscape in China.
In addition, international companies should also look to invest in research and development (R&D) facilities in China. This will not only give them a better understanding of the local market, but also allow them to tap into the country's vast pool of talent.
