Two China experts offer advice on business strategies and critical human resource topics

Companies desiring to do business in China face a host of challenges due to differences in hiring practices, cultural expectations and more. Business strategies and human resource practices do not always translate readily from one country to the next. Two new white papers now available at XMei Internationalís website can help U.S. businesses understand and thrive in this unfamiliar landscape.

In ìStrategic Differences in Best Practices: China vs. FIEsî, Dr. Irv Beiman, chairman of eGate Consulting, compares the strategy execution of the better-run Chinese companies to foreign invested enterprises and describes the significant differences, as well as results, of their strategy management processes. Dr. Beiman also compares how performance management is handled between Chinese companies and FIEs, and describes the results of each approach.

In the highly competitive China job market, one of the biggest challenges for recruiters is attracting suitable candidates. Jim Yang, a China expert for the recruiting firm Monster Worldwide, shares his insights on what these candidates value most in an employer and how a company can best position itself to attract the most qualified candidates. In ìFind the Right Talent in Todayís Competitive Marketplace in Chinaî, he also offers solutions for finding suitable talent, including the locations of specific talent hubs.

Both these China experts were very popular speakers at XMei Internationalís inaugural conference and exposition, ìMaking China Your Gold Mountain,î held in South San Francisco in May. This conference was the first event in the U.S. with influential Chinese human resource executives and business leaders from multinational companies, private Chinese companies, Chinese consulting firms and the government.
