The MasterClass offers a detailed vision of the main jobs that companies must perform to manage procurements from China. Its framework is based on the analysis of single technical skills necessary to manage the different phases of development in a commercial agreement with Chinese parties, from research and evaluation of suppliers to the analysis of customs procedures needed for merchandise exchange, and finally realizing a commercial agreement that follows international norms both recognized in China and abroad. The dynamics of the development of supplier agreements between foreign and Chinese parties will be illustrated with a theoretical approach relating to the referred regulations and then real Case Studies will be presented on the practical management of the most common problems and procedures that show up in a commercial relationship with Chinese suppliers.
