On June 17th 2015 ChinaTalk’s Jessica Sun delivered a training to the R&D staff of Punch Powertrain. This training is now available on YouTube in the form of two slidecasts in which the recorded audio is combined with Jessica’s Powerpoint slides.
In the first part of the training Jessica discusses a few typical cultural differences between China and Western countries including some that Punch’s staff have experienced.
In the second part Jessica explains the Chinese psyche through 4 concepts: mianzi, guanxi, jiti & ling dao. She illustrates these concepts using personal experiences in both China and the Netherlands and shares advice with the Punch team on how to work with their Chinese colleagues.
