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, (608) 342-1310.  The fee is $40.

Since 1993, Professor Wang has been employed by the South-Central University for Nationalities (SCUN), in Wuhan, China.  In 2005 she became an associate professor in the economics department.  She has served as a visiting professor at the Confucius Institute, UW-Platteville since April 2008.  An accomplished teacher, she was awarded the Second Prize in the Teaching Competition of SCUN in December 2003.  She has taught Financial Management, International Taxation, Public Finance & Taxation, Banking Credit Management and Contemporary Chinese Economy.

The Confucius Institute at UW-Platteville is part of an international network of nearly 200 educational facilities dedicated to enhancing the understanding of the Chinese language and culture around the world.
