Navigating a Chinese Business Banquet
Professor Wang Xiaojun, a visiting scholar from Wuhan, China,
currently at the UW-Platteville Confucius Institute, will lead a
presentation/discussion on the importance of formal dining events to
business success in China. The Program will take place on
Tuesday, March 3 from 5:00-8:30pm at the Imperial Garden restaurant in
Middleton, WI. Participants will learn how to:
- greet guests and hosts and exchange business cards
and gifts “the Chinese way;”
- recognize regional distinctions and adjust their
manners to meet expectations in different cities; and
- strengthen relationships with Chinese business
partners.
In addition to the formal presentation, participants will experience a
real business banquet and “learn by doing” about
seating
arrangements, serving etiquette, eating with chopsticks, and toasts.
To register, contact the Confucius Institute at UW-Platteville, hammermeistn@uwplatt.edu,
