Now is the right time for companies to expand or commence activities in China, because China has experienced an unequaled market growth during the past years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics in China the Chinese economy increased 8.7% last year and according to a forecast of the International Monetary Fund (IWF) will increase with 10% in 2010 and 9.7% in 2011.

Companies flourish as never before, but at the same time have to struggle harder. Even though for living standards have improved dramatically in China during the past years and even though the educational system has been improved further, surveys show that expatriates are in great demand more than ever. Particularly the upper management levels still suffer under the lack of well trained Chinese managers. Therefore companies still feel impelled to rely on employees from abroad - the highest management positions are held by Western managers to almost 51%. But due to high salaries and subsistence allowances of expatriates this solution curtails the advantage of low costs in China. Even though these compensation and allowance packages do not apply to the employment of Chinese personnel, they very often lack the necessary qualifications and skills. Thus, when is it reasonable to employ Expatriates and when Chinese personnel? How should the compensation and allowance package for expatriates be arranged? And how do you get talented and qualified personnel on board on the local market? What are the special features companies and expatriates are confronted with in China and how are these approached best? These are some of the issues in China, which we as international Executive Search and Management Consulting company help our clients to solve.

We can help your business, too, to optimize the opportunities and minimize the risks on the fast growing Chinese market. Quickly, comprehensively, and on-the-spot.
