This week, The Project Management Podcast™ proudly presents to you the episode 5 of the PM411.ORG Podcast, which is produced by Ron Holohan. Here is what Ron writes about the episode:

A few weeks ago I had the great fortune of traveling to Suzhou, China to provide training at one of my company’s manufacturing locations.  Being my first time to Asia, it was a great experience to get a chance to see a different side of our business and how the Chinese culture is different from that of the West.

In this podcast, I offer some general tips on how to best understand and navigate the Chinese culture and how to best understand their customs in order to form long lasting business relationships with the Chinese.

Some references that I would recommend:
