Summer Saturday Seminar at the Confucius Institute for Business
Nominate
Tell me who it is! And send me a photo.
They could be the face of an archetypal character in my teaching case:
Do you know the quintessential halfpat?
The classic Korean production guy?
The China Hand who’ll never go home?
The sales director who can sleep in a taxi?
The epitome of the ABC sent to the hometown to seek fortune & fame?
Wuxi Lighter Sun: A US-China Battery Maker
That Wants to Light Up Your Life
(and everyone else’s too. It’s a big factory)
You could win free tuition – transferrable – for my class in NYC, 7.13 or 8.10
The best minds, the hardest workers, the most reliable technology, Is it enough?
The Business Case: Wuxi Lighter Sun
Wuxi Lighter Sun, a 60%-40% US-China JV, has hired talent with an eye for diversity: problem
solvers from Wuxi, experienced technologists from Korea and the Home Office in America,
and finance people who can connect with the Chinese banks, marketing and sales people
who can handle customers both domestically and internationally.
But the battery market crashed last year and now this team of the best talent money can buy
has to pull together even more than ever.
The problem is morale. The company had four great years and now is crushed by their
devastating losses of last year. What should the do to get the business back on track? It’s an
adventure about understanding the business systems in China relative to the countries its
people come from and work with – and surmounting the cross cultural barriers that are now
paralyzing communication –not to mention strategy, production and sales.

About The Class
Systemic differences and cultural gaps make US-China business challenging. When our
actions are based on insight – instead of the assumptions we are often not even aware
we are making - team work and success across the US-China gap become possible.
The class consists of one 6 hour session, July 13 or August 10, 9 AM – 4 PM. During the
day there are 5 discussions revolving around a case study, and covering 4 topics:
Ground Rules: Party, Planning, Policy/ Competition: Chasing Margin, Customers, Capital
Cultural Values: Negotiation & Decision Dynamics / Team: Motivating who’s in the mix
In other words, high level knowledge to improve skills in strategy, negotiation, and team
management in US-China ventures of all kinds.
What you need to know – and be able to do. No fluff, no filler.
Summer Saturday Seminar at the Confucius Institute for Business
Are you feeling the impact of China business in your life?
This seminar closes gaps in knowledge and develops new
skills, so you can reduce frustration and improve your China
project results.
Want to build China business skill fast? Walk a mile in someone else’s
shoes and…be better at selling to Chinese customers, managing China-
facing projects, and seeing the big picture in US-China relations.
Summer Saturday Seminar at the Confucius Institute for Business
About The Method
Students apply the course knowledge by assuming roles of a character in a US-China
case study, in five discussion sessions throughout the day.
The method encourages students to work with stock characters from the team at a
fictitious US-China venture called Wuxi Lighter Sun during discussions. This technique
allows students to dig into their imaginations, confront their own assumptions, and
learn to create space for addressing a conflict.
The combination of role play – which helps internalize and personalize learning – with
material that informs every US-China business situation - creates an experience that
benefits a wide range of people in US-China business.
What you need to know – and be able to do. No fluff, no filler.
