Doing business with China presents many challenges and opportunities for U.S. companies looking to expand overseas.
But, despite the obstacles, the reality is international businesses can’t afford not to.
“You cannot do business in a global economy without being involved with one of the largest players in that economy,” said Debbie Mrongowius, an international business consultant.
Mrongowius is teaching “Doing Business in China,” one of three new classes introduced this year as part of UCR Extension’s Certificate in Management with an International Business concentration. The other two classes are “Introduction to International Trade” and “Global Investment Management.”
“Doing Business in China” explores Chinese history, culture and economic structure and how those are reflected in China’s business environment. The class begins Thursday, Feb. 16.
Kathy Craig, program representative for UCR Extension’s Business and Management division, said the International Business concentration helps managers or business owners navigate the global environment.
“This certificate emphasis is beneficial in learning about the business standards, international trade procedures, adapting marketing to various cultural, political and environmental factors, and business strategies,” Craig said.
