Abstract: Abstract Since China began to embrace a free market approach to business and opened its doors to the outside world in 1978, its economy has made tremendous progress. Chinese companies, especially large-scale state owned enterprises (SOEs), have increasingly shown interest in strengthening their ability to compete in the global economy. However, they are facing a new challenge — developing international expertise. So far, one way they have found to meet this challenge is turning to Western executive training programmes to learn directly from foreign experts on how to do business abroad.
