Utilize significances of Chinese cultural values to establish an effective business relationship in China.

Abstract

My objective is to understand Chinese culture and cross-cultural issues from the experiences shared by two Chinese people who are working in Thailand. In the research, I illustrated the attitudes of Chinese people who have worked in Thailand for over 5 years, to focus on the Chinese cultures and values that Thai people should understand before doing business with the Chinese and the cross- culture issues that experienced by two interviewees. The theories that I applied in my findings were the Hofstede and Trompenaars seven dimensions to understand and notice the differences between work cultures and behaviours of China and Thailand. In the conclusion, I present useful information that can be beneficial to the public seeking to understand more about China, as well as demonstrating how to have an effective business relationship with Chinese people.
