CultureshockChina Relationship Relationship in China is much more important than in Germany Each family relation has its own name People usually know schoolmates from different classes Business in China is done based on relationship Contracts may support the business, but are not mandatory Business in Europe is done based on contracts Relationship may support the business, but are not mandatory Mistrust between people without established relationship is not necessarily impolite No business without lunch or dinner
CultureshockChina Behaviour Example: Negotiations about future business partnership In western countries it is not unusual to give a leap of faith to the future business partner. This behaviour is based on the assumption, that the future partner will follow the agreed contractual terms and conditions In China it is not unusual to start with a lack of trust to the future business partner. This behaviour is based on the fact, that contractual terms and conditions can not always be enforced Sleeping in the same bed, but dreaming different dreams This can lead to a situation, where the western partner shows his trust and the chinese partner shows his mistrust. The western part is concerned, because the future partner shows openly a lack of trust. The Chinese partner is concerned, because the western partner is so naïve to trust someone he does not yet know. Both behave different, however, both are right from their personal point of view
