3rd China Business Symposium - 25th July 2013

Successful Market Entry Strategies in China

Academic research matched by practical business experience

If you haven’t done so already, register you attendance at this very focused China Symposium which will be held at the University of Auckland Business School. There are limited spaces available due to the venue size. So don’t miss out in hearing from the superb range of international speakers, both from a business and academic perspective, who will provide you with leading marketing strategies in this diverse and exciting and potentially high growth market. The cost for attending this whole day seminar is very attractive and where else will you hear world leading business experts on China such as Professor Marshall Meyer & Patrick Chovanec. These are just a couple of the high level speakers coming to the symposium.
