Strategically and operationally, China operations must be informed by an understanding of the political, regulatory and market dynamics.
China plays a central role in supply chains and is a major export market. An understanding of the Chinese business environment, including key regulatory and economic policy aspects, is essential for Western managers responsible for doing business in China. The CAS is offered by the FHNW China Centre in cooperation with SwissCham Shanghai and our network of experts in Switzerland and China.
