when the Guangzhou Institute of
Foreign Trade was founded, the University had its present form by merging the two in 1995,
with the Guangdong College of Finance and Economics incorporated into the University in
2008. The University has three campuses with a total area of 153 hectares: the North Campus

 LECTURE-1
Globalization and CSR
Speaker: Prof Zhu Wenzhong, Executive Dean, School of Business, GDUFS
Prof. Zhu had his Ph.D. in Business Management, Sun Yat-sen University, China 2008, MBA
in University of Southampton, UK, 2001; B.A, in English Literature, Henan University,
China, 1985; Visiting Scholar, School of Management, Lancaster University, UK.
We were provided with 4 small case studies and asked to analyse them with appropriate
considerations. By analysing them, we understood basically Chinese corporations focus on
three different contemplations i.e.

 Innovative programs,
 Never taking things for granted &
 Environmental relief.

Next we came to know about the ethical challenges come along with globalization. These can
be mentioned as:
 More complexity of stakeholders in an enlarged or extended supply chain.
 Different institutional and cultural environment.
 Choices of firms operating globally for profit.

Apart from this we learnt about ethical relativism & MNC’s ethical issues. Ethical relativism
has been defined as such positions where your ethical principles are defined by the traditions
of your society, personal opinions and the circumstances. Along with the term ethical
relativism we also came across few more terminologies such as:
• Virtue ethics: where right or wrong is determined by personal interpretation.

• Utilitarianism: where right or wrong is determined by the consequences for the

greater good or more pleasure than pain.

• Universal ethics: where right or wrong is determined by norms applicable for

anybody, anywhere.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 6

Relativism: where right or wrong is decided by the norms of a specific culture.
Finally we got some idea about the environmental problems in China. These are:
• Sweatshops

• Brain drain

• Human right abusing

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 7

 Lecture-2

Path of Chinese Business

Prof. Zeng Yuran has Ph. D in Industrial Economics. She is Associate Professor at Business School,
GDUFS, visiting scholar of Lancashire University for academic exchange and course participation.
Her field of interest includes Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Management Embedded in Chinese
Context.

The first thing taught by this lecture was about Braclustochrone curve.
Then four very interesting stories were described to us so that we can analyse those situations
and find the interconnection between them. These stories were:
• The tower of Bobel (following the great flood)

• The first emperor in China – Qin Dynasty

• Lord Macaulay’s address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb, 1835.

• Message from a Ghanian student

After that we talked about the very important concept of “Three pillars of Chinese culture”,
i.e.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 8

 • Taoism

• Confucianism

• Buddhism

We also learnt about the five stages of energy and explanation of the concept through a
business environment. Like:
 Water – Research and development

• Earth - Human resource

• Wood – marketing

• Fire – culture

• Metal – finance

Relevant to these concepts we also came to know about “Money or health

versus Money & health”. Here the professor expressed her thoughts about five blessings one
person can achieve, these are:

 Long life

 Fortune / wealth

 Physical & mental health

 LECTURE 3

Economic Trend in Guangzhou

Speaker: Prof. Li Yongning
Professor Profile: Prof. Li Yongning, Ph.D is the former Harvard Visiting Professor and
Guest Professor in Kassel University, Germany. He is currently the professor at Business
school, Research fellow of institute for international Strategies, Editor of China-Latin
America blue Book, Guangdong university of Foreign Studies. His Research area is on
Globalization, Industrialization and Urbanization, which focuses mainly on regional strategic
studies, innovation and internationalization of Enterprises and Industries.

Guangzhou is the major contributor to the China’s Economy. Being the Industrial Hub of
China, with many manufacturing industries in and around the Guangzhou, It is the principal
driver of Chinas Economy over the last 30 years. Other Provinces with great production and
exports are Jiangsu and Shandong. These two provinces stand at second and third position
respectively in terms of GDP after Guangdong province. In terms of imports, Guangdong,
Beijing and Shanghai stand at first, second and third positions respectively.
One Road One Zone Policy is the major driver for outward development in China. China has
been constantly following this policy since years. The creation of an economic land belt that
includes countries on the original silk road through Central Asia, West Asia, the Middle East
and Europe, as well as a maritime road that links China’s port facilities with the African
coast, pushing up through the suez canal into the Mediterranean. China well knows its
development is linked to Asia and beyond and, in part, is banking its future on responding to
its neighbours’ huge infrastructure needs via one road one zone policy.

Infrastructure is the key reason for the development in any country. China has 4.46 mn kms
of Highways, 202 airports, 92 subway lines, 411 mn users of social networks, 981 mn
smartphone users. Its first highway network is from Guangzhou.
The share of GDP (by valued-added) from Chinese industry has been close to 50% for more
than 30 years, but since 1980 the share contributed by service industries grown from 30% to
43%. This is below the norm in advanced countries where services account for more than
70% of GDP.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 10

China, especially Guangdong, is the early mover in manufacturing industry. Guangdong is
also National leader in foreign trade. We can find lot immigrants in the streets of Guangzhou
who came for education and job related purposes.
Future Challenges and perspectives in China’s Economy
 Needs to raise Guangdong’s competitive edge
 High income Imbalance
 New domestic and international competitors
 Consumers demanding more sophisticated products and products with higher added
value

 LECTURE-5
Chile: Economy, culture and tourism
Speaker: Prof. Sergio Alvarez Illesca

Economy
Chile is ranked as a high-income economy by the World Bank, and is considered one of
South America's most stable and prosperous nations, leading Latin American nations in
competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, economic freedom, and low perception of
corruption. Although Chile has high economic inequality, as measured by the Gini index, it is
close to the regional mean.

In 2006, Chile became the country with the highest nominal GDP per capita in Latin
America. In May 2010 Chile became the first South American country to join the OECD. Tax
revenues, all together 20.2% of GDP in 2013, were the second lowest among the 34 OECD
countries, and the lowest in 2010. Chile has an inequality-adjusted human development index
of 0.661, compared to 0.662, 0.680 and 0.542 for neighboring Uruguay, Argentina and
Brazil, respectively. In 2008, only 2.7% of the population lived on less than US $2 a day.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 14

The Global Competitiveness Report for 2009–2010 ranked Chile as being the 30th most
competitive country in the world and the first in Latin America. The ease of doing business
index, created by the World Bank, listed Chile as 34th in the world as of 2014, 41st in 2015,
and 48th in 2016. The privatized national pension system has an estimated total domestic
savings rate of approximately 21% of GDP.

Culture

The culture of Chile reflects the relatively homogeneous population as well as the
geographic isolation of the country in relation to the rest of South America. Since colonial
times, the Chilean culture has been a mix of Spanish colonial elements with indigenous
(mostly Mapuche) culture.

The Huasos of Central Chile and their folk music and dance are central to Chilean folk
culture. Even though the folk traditions the Central Chile are central to Chilean cultural and
national identity, Chile is both geographically and culturally diverse with both the North and
the South having their own folk music and dance due to different indigenous peoples and
immigrant groups settling there. Additionally, while some regions of Chile have very strong
indigenous heritage, such as Araucanía Region, Easter Island, and Arica Parinacota Region,
some regions lacks considerable indigenous communities and a few other regions have
noteworthy non-Spanish European immigrant heritage.

In the period starting from 1930 to 1970 appears a rebirth in the interest and popularity in
folk music in Chile carried out initially by groups such as Los Cuatro Huasos, who took folk
songs from the Chilean country and arranged them vocally and with musical instruments.
They gave several recitals in Chile, and in Latin America that contributed with its diffusion.
Later appeared other groups such as Los de Ramon, Los Huasos Quincheros, Los Cuatro
Cuartos, and others who continued with this diffusion. Also appeared several Chilean folk
composers such as Raul de Ramon, Margot Loyola, Luis Aguirre Pinto, Violeta Parra, Víctor
Jara, and others that carried out folk investigation and composed folk music that is still sung
up to this day.

Tourism

Since the mid-1990s, tourism in Chile has become one of the main sources of income for the
country, especially in its most extreme areas. In 2005 this sector grew by 13.6%, generating
more than US$500 million, equivalent to 1.33% of national GDP.

According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), Chile was the eighth most popular
destination for foreign tourists within the Americas in 2010, after the USA, Mexico, Canada,
Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. That year 2,766,000 tourists entered
the country, generating a revenue of US$1,636 million. The majority of these visitors came
from American countries, mainly Argentina; however, the biggest growth in recent years has
been in visitors from Europe, especially Germany.

Occupying the southwest part of South America, Chile is normally divided into three
geographic areas:

 Continental Chile comprises a long and narrow strip of land on the west coast of the
Southern Cone that extends between the parallels 17°29'57"S and Diego Ramírez
Islands at 56°32'12"S, mostly from the southeastern shore of the Pacific Ocean to the
Andes, across 4270km
 Insular Chile corresponds to a set of islands volcanic origin in the South Pacific
Ocean: the Juan Fernández archipelago and Desventuradas Islands, belonging to
South America, the Salas y Gómez Island and Easter Island, geographically located in
the Polynesia.
 The Chilean Antarctic Territory, is an area of Antarctica of 1,250,257.6km² between
meridians 53°W and 90°W on which Chile claims sovereignty, extending its southern
boundary to the South Pole. Because of its presence in the Americas, Oceania and
Antarctica, Chile describes itself as a tricontinental country.

The latitudinal width of the country, which spans over 39°, (over 72° if the Chilean Antarctic
Territory is included), its elevation and influence of the Pacific Ocean are the main factors
behind the climatic variety and landscape of Chile,[3] which determines the development of
the formation of different ecosystems in the country.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 16

The main Chilean attractions are the 6,435km long coast, the Andean ski resorts, the
mountains and volcanoes, and the islands and archipelagos, including Easter Island.

The country has 14 natural monuments, 36 National Parks, 10 biosphere reserves, 52 natural
reserves, 39 sanctuaries of Nature and 12 Ramsar wetlands, mainly in the extreme parts of the
country.

 LECTURE-6
Chinese Enterprise and Going Global Strategy
Speaker: Prof Wu Yiming
Speaker Profile:
Prof WU Yiming, Ph.D. is Associate dean of MBA Education Center of GDUFS (2007-10), a
visiting scholar to Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria) (1997-98), a
visiting scholar to University of Missouri – Columbia (USA)(2004-05) and a LEAD fellow
since 2002. LEAD – Leadership for Environment and Development sponsored by Rock-
fellow Foundation. Prof Wu was selected a trainee to the first Sino- European MBA
Teachers training program held by HEC, Paris in 2002. Her Research Interest is in
Sustainable Development Strategy. Her teaching courses include Strategic Management,
International Business to MBA and undergraduate programs.

Chinese enterprises have different kinds of ownerships similar to Indian enterprises. It

includes-

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 18

  State Owned enterprises
 Private Enterprises
 Joint Ventures
 Wholly Foreign owned Enterprises
State Owned Enterprises means Central or Province or Local Government owned business.
They are generally highly influential and critical to the state.
These enterprises handles major resources, major transportation, financial services, News
and publication and public services. Three China State owned companies were in top 10 in
the list of Fortune 500 Companies. It includes Sinopec, China National Petroleum, and State
Grid Corporation in Third, Fourth and Seventh places respectively. The surprising fact for all
the Indians, which can never be seen in India, is – the twelve biggest Chinese companies are
government owned. China also has the worlds Fastest Train at Shanghai, which runs on the
magnetic technology. For State owned enterprises there are double enterprises (Party Leaders
& CEOs) appointed by Local or Central Government. The drawback of State owned
Enterprises is they are weak in Public Relations. Gaunxi plays important role. R&D and
intellectual property protection (IPR) improved a lot by Government’s strong protection and
promotion measure.
Private Enterprises are mostly Town ad Village owned enterprises, Family Running
Business and public listed companies. The companies are listed in the Shanghai and
Shenzhen stock Exchanges. Shanghai is world’s fifth largest stock exchange in the world.
The largest private company is Suning Commerce Group Co Ltd with operating revenue of
279.8 billion Yuan.
Joint Ventures mostly include Foreign Investor and state owned companies coming
together forming largest conglomerate. When China first opened its doors to multinationals,
in the 1980s, some multinational corporations undertook joint ventures with local companies
that appeared to be safe bets because of their access to and influence with the local or
national government. Even today, many foreign executives prefer to engage with large, well-
established Chinese partners. One drawback that foreign companies may not have
encountered in China before: as Chinese executives grow increasingly confident, many of
these smaller players themselves hope to become national, regional, or even global players.
That aspiration can make it difficult to agree on the scope of the partnership if it’s to be
limited to China or to specific products. One approach is to outline the extent of cooperation
both domestically and globally—for instance, whether it includes access to overseas sales

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 19

channels, noncompeting clauses for specific markets, and agreement in principle on the
potential evolution of the partnership into additional product lines.
President XI Jinping proposed new normal economy and sharing economy, which is also
known as one belt and one road.
Distribution in Industry Sectors
Industry Sectors are classified as Manufacturing, Services, Tourism and Public Services.
Manufacturing Sector is again classified as Heavy, Hi-tech and Light Industries.
Services mainly include Financial and Trade. In Trade, Guangzhou stands first in the China
with its world famous Canton Fair and its wholesale Market. Canton stands for China import
and Export Fair. It is the largest trade fair in china. Ministry of Commerce of China along
with Peoples Government of the Guangdong Province hosts Canton Fair. It is held in the
spring and autumn seasons every year since the spring of 1957 in Guangzhou. There are
different models of international strategy that includes Haier model, Huawei model and
Lenovo model. These are about overseas production or assembling plant and private
exportation base on IP rights mode.

 Business Visit – 1

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 21

India has already many global giants and competing local e-commerce which is difficult
market to penetrate, also the Airport and Airplanes used are not to the global standards,
which are the reasons for not entering Indian market.

Cross Border E-Commerce:

The term cross-border ecommerce generally defines international online trade. It entails the
sale or purchase of products via online shops across national borders. Buyer and seller are not
located in the same country and are often not ruled by the same jurisdiction, use different
currencies, and speak different languages.

Online trade within the EU, with its single market and common currency in many member
states, is evenly referred to as cross-border ecommerce as for example selling from Germany
to China.

Cross-border ecommerce can refer to online trade between a business (retailer or brand) and a
consumer (B2C), between two businesses, often brands or wholesalers (B2B), or between
two private persons (C2C), e.g. via marketplace platforms such as Amazon or eBay.

Hub and Spoke business model

Many areas are under the military control and many areas are risky to work in Africa. They
have partnered with the local agents and continue their business safely and happily.
The business model and the ideology to tap a potential market and willingness to take the risk
are learnt.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 22

 Business Visit – 2
Guangdong Eagle Gifts Co., Ltd.

The second business visit was to the Guangdong Eagle Gifts Co. Ltd which is one of the
primary practices of Chinese culture of giving gifts. The manufacturing unit is in Shanghai.
The place we visited was a designing, gifts display and home décor. We were guided in
groups and there were multiple rooms each with a unique colour or unique material made
gifts and decoration items. Each country they supply they have a separate material and
separate colour depending on the taste of that nation. The minimum order that has to be
placed is 500 pieces to 1000 pieces depending on the chosen product.
The company was established in 2002. It is operated by Victor and Teresa. Annual growth
rate of 20% to 30% is seen. In 2017 annual turnover hit USD $40 million. The showroom
size is 4000sq meter, displaying over 20,000 items.
They are busy throughout the year and free only during the holidays as the backend work
keeps happening throughout the year and product leaves the warehouse before the holiday
season begins. The design team works hard to keep coming up with new designs every year
and not bore the customers with the same design.

Their main products are Christmas themed and the stakes into India are very less and hence
they have not capitalised or focused on Indian market.
Middle East is their major market with 40% market share, China, Africa and North-America
each contributes 20% to the business. Its business spreads across UK, Germany, USA,
France, Russia, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. They haven’t entered Indian market as
they are unsure of the market conditions and the business environment. Upon letting they

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 23

know that India is a potential market to tap upon they said in mere future they would look
into the prospects of joining the market.

XIME Bangalore/Batch23 Page 24

 BUSINESS VISIT-3

 CONCLUSION
Going to China is a lifetime experience and when you don’t face any difficulty where we
were told to face many barriers but none of them has stopped us from enjoying our study tour
and also gain knowledge on the parallel. Experience is all that matters and when you have got
exposure to an international arena, you are expected to live up to the mark of getting back
those experiences to share. Having many misconceptions about china would be erased and
many things we think of will be forgotten and new opinions will be formed.
Subject domain was explained in a different perspective where we have learnt in a one
dimensional. Always people of different culture have different thoughts. The way we present
ourselves, portray ourselves all are different but have that one thing in common which unites
us of being human. Thinking capability has been enhanced and pushed to think in different
aspects possible.
Education is only one angle which is seen from the tour. The hidden parts are the interaction
with others, their culture and how it impacts us. The way they lead their life is an exemplary
one, which was followed by Indians previously and now giving it up in the search of
monetary and materialsitic values of life.
“Better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times”
