Description
A Guerrilla Guide to Doing Business in China is aimed not at multi-nationals but small entrepreneurs. It focusses on opportunities suitable for individuals that do not need large amounts of financial investment.
The general perception is that China has now begun a long-term economic slowdown. Industries that allow foreign investment have become so competitive and costly that many foreign companies are moving on to find better opportunities in other developing economies. Arbitrary law enforcement, rising labour costs and tough entry barriers set by the government are convincing large corporations to seek easier pickings elsewhere. This means that there more and more cracks and niches where small business operators can gain a foothold. Technomads and Perpetual Travellers especially, are nimble and flexible enough to profit from China's maturing markets. This book is collection of possible opportunities as recorded by an entrepreneur and travel writer that has spent the last ten years criss-crossing this vast country.
There are plenty of books out there on how to do business in China. This book is different in that it lists specific opportunities that deserve further investigation. If you know that you want to do business in China but are still not sure which area is most suitable then this is the book for you. This book also benefits from a supporting discussion forum at guerrillainchina.com where potential entrepreneurs are able ask for advice and 'old China hands' can share their experiences.
