Doing business in China

Applications to our Summer School are now open!

The 10-day Doing Business in China summer school, led by Nottingham University Business School China, introduces and explains relevant knowledge and methods for developing your understanding of how business is conducted in China. You will learn through case studies and practical exercises that there is no “golden key” to business in China. Class discussions will revolve around your own discovery of China. To contribute fresh insights, you will use the Ningbo region of China as a laboratory. You will be expected to develop your understanding of Chinese society through face-to-face encounters with local businesses and organisations.
