Participants will know how Chinese entrepreneurs, consumers and employees think and act, and be able to generate consumer and business insights for doing business in China. Through the use of well-designed business cases, participants will be able to apply this knowledge when they start or manage a business organization in China. Participants will be able to identify business opportunities and challenges based on nuanced understanding of the socio-political, economic, cultural, and technological environments in China, and leverage on their consumer and business insights to develop and implement culturally informed strategic plans.
Applied Learning Project
In this capstone project, students will use their own research and what they have learned in the three courses to come up with the final business plan and a 1-minute pitch presentation. Students are expected to come up with innovative product ideas and use the materials learned in this course to supplement this capstone project.
