From the supplier: US firms doing business in China should be concerned about the underlying forces that influence Chinese business practices. Any attempt at understanding cross-cultural management strategies should be based on structured beliefs, existing world views and social relationships. The Chinese cultural system is influential in matters pertaining to business management. Chinese cultural traits such as Confucianism, family-ism, group orientation, ideal of life and mode of thinking have heavily influenced the direction of business practices. US firms should do well to gain proper understanding of Chinese culture based on such mechanisms. These firms must try to maintain an open mind on the variety of management and negotiation styles. In addition, firms must try to render value judgements based on Chinese, instead of American, cultural terms.
