| b2b marketing in china: Digital China: How to do B2B Marketing in China Ashley Dudarenok, 2020-01-01 China is a global manufacturing hub and home to many of the world’s largest trade fairs. It’s also a global center for research and development, prototyping, AI, 5G, green technology, facial recognition and data analysis. For businesses, it’s a very important place to develop connections, partnerships and a reputation with other businesses. If you’re a B2B company looking at the China market, this book is for you. Find out how to set yourself apart in the B2B space through the power of digital marketing and online platforms. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. There’s a belief among some that marketing only works for B2C companies. B2B marketing looks and feels different from B2C marketing but it’s been around forever and is even more necessary in a world full of increasing disruptions and challenges. As one of the world’s largest economies and a world centre for manufacturing, China provides ample opportunities for B2C and B2B brands alike. However, B2B marketing in China is a bit different from the West. Traditional trade shows, conference calls and meetings are irreplaceable aspects of B2B marketing now and in the future. However, a digital presence is important and has a strong effect when establishing business relationships. Most Chinese B2B companies also prefer a B2C selling approach and there are cultural differences in business etiquette and the dealmaking process that can’t be ignored. Flexibility, patience, a willingness to learn and adapting to local culture and practices is also necessary. Part of that adaptation involves lots of talking over dinners, understanding the negotiation process and being optimized for the mobile internet. Technology and personal interactions meld and overlap in China and for B2B businesses, one can’t replace the other. We’ve created this mini book for B2B companies in order to help them understand cultural differences, the Chinese digital marketing landscape and best practices. So if you have questions about getting attention from Chinese businesses, this book will help you to find your answers and create your B2B digital marketing strategy. The Digital Channels You Need to Know In 1999, near the start of China’s digital transformation, a group of people led by Jack Ma, started a B2B website called Alibaba.com. It was an English-language B2B website aimed at small businesses around the world that wanted to connect with manufacturers and suppliers in China. It’s next website, also launched in 1999, was 1688.com, a Chinese-language B2B marketplace for domestic companies. We all know how that went. Today, Alibaba is one of the world’s largest tech companies. It has expanded into financial technology, cloud storage systems, entertainment, media and offline grocery stores. And it all started with B2B. According to a July 2019 interview with John Caplan, head of North American B2B at Alibaba Group, “B2B e-commerce is a $23.9 trillion market — six times larger than B2C e-commerce.” So let’s get started with a list of digital channels for B2B in China that you need to know. It starts with one that everyone already knows. 1. Alibaba.com The granddaddy of them all. Jack Ma chose Alibaba as the name for the first site after the character Ali Baba from the folktale. He tested the name while he was in San Francisco and found it was recognized by people from all over the world. Alibaba.com is a huge multi-language portal for small businesses world-wide who are looking for suppliers and manufacturers. While most of the suppliers on the site are from China, international companies are also represented. Menus on the homepage allow for 15 different languages, regional settings and for prices to be indicated in currencies from all over the globe. The category menu on the homepage lists 9 product categories and the full menu lists 12 more with countless subgroups that include everything from firefighting supplies to balloons. You can buy everything from a single toy to crude oil (500,000 barrels is the minimum buy). It’s fair to say that whatever your size or industry, there’s something here for you.” REVIEWS “Great and relevant content! Professional and knowledgeable speaker with contagious energy.” Michelle Ng, Harley-Davidson “Ashley opened our eyes to how the Chinese are leading innovation in the social media space, and how we can learn from them.” Coen Tan, Lead Trainer at Ministry of Influence |

| b2b marketing in china: B2B Marketing K.Venkataraman, 2017-12-22 In the present days of International Trade (year 2014), India’s Trade deficit or the current account deficit runs to nearly $40 Billion. This represents more than 2% of the national GDP. In view of this large deficit, the country faces unprecedented inflation. India’s major exports include Information Technology, pharmaceuticals, as well as gems and jewellery. Manufactured goods, automobiles and heavy machinery intended for manufacturing purposes account for very little when compared to countries like China, Japan, Germany and South Korea. Therefore, it is imminent that quality of such products manufactured in the country meets the international standards. In addition, innovative marketing techniques need to be adopted by individuals and companies to position our products globally. Most of the international trade takes place between Business to Business rather than Business to Consumer directly. The book focuses on this sector of Business, namely, Business to Business Marketing. Needless to say, text material provided will be useful for industrialists, technocrats as well as regular management students. The book will be available in –http://www.amazon.in/ |

| b2b marketing in china: Cases on Social Justice in China and Perspectives on Chinese Brands Elhaoussine, Youssef, Wang, Lulu, 2023-01-23 As a rising superpower and economy, China and the Chinese society have attracted the attention of the world. However, because of the language and cultural barrier, it is difficult for foreign academics and the foreign public to grasp what is happening within Chinese society.

Cases on Social Justice in China and Perspectives on Chinese Brands proposes an objective view of the effect that social justice and online public debates had on brands by describing and reporting the real situation in China where brands faced a public outcry after a controversial event and by considering how the brands were affected. Covering key topics such as brand activity, social media, boycotts, vulgar marketing, and salary disputes, this reference work is ideal for government officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students. |

| b2b marketing in china: How to Manage a Successful Business in China Johan Bjrkstn, Anders Hgglund, 2010 This unique book discusses how to manage an organization in China. It is based on the invaluable practical experience of entrepreneur Johan Bjrkstn, who successfully built a local consulting business with over 100 employees, and Anders Hgglund, a seasoned manager who set up high-growth and highly profitable operations in China for a major industrial multinational. The book provides widely applicable advice based on experiences from different industries, including but not limited to those of the authors. Most books about business in China belong to one of two categories: autobiographical success stories or academic treatises. Managing in China goes beyond these genres to provide highly relevant, practical advice and checklists, as well as concrete and illustrative examples from the authors' own experience. Managing in China succinctly explains how historical, cultural and social factors influence today's Chinese business environment, and how managers should take this into account in day-to-day operations. The book focuses on managing in a rapid-growth environment, but also provides advice on how to ensure sustainable operations and profitability in mature industries or a temporary downturn. |

| b2b marketing in china: China Market Entry of Australian Wine Brand "Hardys Shiraz". A Marketing Plan Stefan Reindl et al., 2015-09-17 Project Report from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Hardys is a very successful and well established Australian wine brand with a long history and a wide range of different products including red and white grape wine as well as sparkling and sweet wines. Like many successful wine producers, Hardys plans to enter the Chinese wine market which has shown outstanding growth rates over the last years due to the Chinese perception of 8especially red) wine as elegant, exclusive, healthy and a symbol of high class, education, manners and upper life style. The Chinese market with its gigantic consumer potential is forecasted to quickly develop into one of the world’s largest markets for imported wines from all around the world. Currently French imported wine is the largest competition on this market, followed by already successfully introduced other Australian brands (making Australia the second largest country of origin of imported wine in China). In addition there is a growing and constantly improving competition from domestic wines. Research and analysis based positioning elements for Hardys (Shiraz) in China will be the ‘sweet’ taste, the ‘Australian’ origin and a focus on information to educate the consumers to ‘smart’ buyers of Hardys products. Selected customer segments provide a promising market potential in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou which builds the geographically most relevant market for imported wine in China. Through a themed yearly focus in accordance with Hardys positioning strategy, consumers’ interest will be raised, their knowledge will be improved and with a variety of communication activities they will be turned into potential repeat buyers. Communication channels therefore will be a combination of classical print media (selected magazines) as well as a strong online presence as more and more wine-related product research is done online. In accordance with the selected target segment’s life style and consumption habits, smart phone optimized content and access to information will play another crucial role in Hardys’ brand communication. Pricing follows Chinese consumers’ habits, expectations and perceptions as well as researched recent market trends and a strategic aspect of positioning Hardys as a ‘smart’ choice with higher value for money compared to already established but often overpriced French brands. |

| b2b marketing in china: Winning in China Lele Sang, Karl Ulrich, 2021-01-19 If Amazon can't win in China, can anyone? When Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos visited China in 2007, he expected that one day soon China would be a double-digit percentage of Amazon's sales. Yet, by 2019, Amazon, the most powerful and successful ecommerce company in the world, had quit China. In Winning in China: 8 Stories of Success and Failure in the World's Largest Economy, Wharton experts Lele Sang and Karl Ulrich explore the success and failure of several well-known companies, including Hyundai, LinkedIn, Sequoia Capital, and InMobi, as more and more businesses look to reap profits from the demand of 1.4 billion people. Sang, Global Fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Ulrich, Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Wharton School, answer four critical questions: Which factors explain the success (or failure) of foreign companies entering China?What challenges and pitfalls can a company entering China expect to encounter? How can a prospective entrant realistically assess its chances? Which managerial decisions are critical, and which approaches are most effective? Sang and Ulrich answer these questions by examining the stories of eight well-known and respected companies that have entered China. They study: How Norwegian Cruise Line's entry into China displays how cultural differences can boost or sink different companies; How Intel, one of the oldest, most respected firms in Silicon Valley, thrived in a country that seems to favor agile upstarts; How Zegna, the Italian luxury brand, has emerged as another surprising success story and how it plans to navigate new headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic.Through these engaging and illuminating stories, Sang and Ulrich offer a framework and path for organizations looking for a way to successfully enter the world's largest economy. History can be a teacher, and China, a country with 3,500 years of written history, has much to teach. |

| b2b marketing in china: Marketing Strategy In The Digital Age: Applying Kotler's Strategies To Digital Marketing Milton Kotler, Tiger Cao, Sam Wang, Colllen Qiao, 2020-08-26 The market changes faster than marketing. In essence, marketing strategy has undergone only two eras, the entity era and the bit era, also known as the industrial age and the digital age. In the age of digital society, all CEOs, CMOs and senior marketing executives must consider how to change their strategies, improve the role of marketing and adopt emerging technological and data tools to integrate with the Internet. The goal of digital marketing strategy is not to disrupt existing marketing strategies, but to complement, integrate and develop the two at the same time.In this book, the authors provide detailed discussion and practical analysis on the relationship between marketing and digital technologies and propose a marketing implementation framework for digital strategy platforms. Standing for Recognize, Reach, Relationship and Return, the 4R system is a powerful strategic trading tool for digital implementation, especially for CEOs and CMOs. All other tools, such as data platforms, content marketing, DSP digital advertising and digital marketing ROI design essentially serve the 4R system. As such, the authors advocate for firms to restructure their digital marketing strategy around the 4R system. |

| b2b marketing in china: China's Environment and the Challenge of Sustainable Development Kristen A. Day, 2016-07-22 China has been experiencing extraordinary economic growth for over two decades.

| b2b marketing in china: Matchmakers David S. Evans, Richard Schmalensee, 2016-05-03 A different kind of matchmaker. Many of the most dynamic public companies, from Alibaba to Facebook to Visa, and the most valuable start-ups, such as Airbnb and Uber, are matchmakers that connect one group of customers with another group of customers. Economists call matchmakers multisided platforms because they provide physical or virtual platforms for multiple groups to get together. Dating sites connect people with potential matches, for example, and ride-sharing apps do the same for drivers and riders. Although matchmakers have been around for millennia, they’re becoming more and more popular—and profitable—due to dramatic advances in technology, and a lot of companies that have managed to crack the code of this business model have become today’s power brokers. Don’t let the flashy successes fool you, though. Starting a matchmaker is one of the toughest business challenges, and almost everyone who tries to build one, fails. In Matchmakers, David Evans and Richard Schmalensee, two economists who were among the first to analyze multisided platforms and discover their principles, and who’ve consulted for some of the most successful platform businesses in the world, explain how matchmakers work best in practice, why they do what they do, and how entrepreneurs can improve their chances for success. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an investor, a consumer, or an executive, your future will involve more and more multisided platforms, and Matchmakers—rich with stories from platform winners and losers—is the one book you’ll need in order to navigate this appealing but confusing world. |
| b2b marketing in china: Digital DNA Peter F. Cowhey, Jonathan D. Aronson, 2017-06-30 Innovation in information and production technologies is creating benefits and disruption, profoundly altering how firms and markets perform. Digital DNA provides an in depth examination of the opportunities and challenges in the fast-changing global economy and lays out strategies that countries and the international community should embrace to promote robust growth while addressing the risks of this digital upheaval. Wisely guiding the transformation in innovation is a major challenge for global prosperity that affects everyone. Peter Cowhey and Jonathan Aronson demonstrate how the digital revolution is transforming the business models of high tech industries but also of traditional agricultural, manufacturing, and service sector firms. The rapidity of change combines with the uncertainty of winners and losers to create political and economic tensions over how to adapt public policies to new technological and market surprises. The logic of the policy trade-offs confronting society, and the political economy of practical decision-making is explored through three developments: The rise of Cloud Computing and trans-border data flows; international collaboration to reduce cybersecurity risks; and the consequences of different national standards of digital privacy protection. The most appropriate global strategies will recognize that a significant diversity in individual national policies is inevitable. However, because digital technologies operate across national boundaries there is also a need for a common international baseline of policy fundamentals to facilitate quasi-convergence of these national policies. Cowhey and Aronson's examination of these dynamic developments lead to a measured proposal for authoritative soft rules that requires governments to create policies that achieve certain objectives, but leaves the specific design to national discretion. These rules should embrace mechanisms to work with expert multi-stakeholder organizations to facilitate the implementation of formal agreements, enhance their political legitimacy and technical expertise, and build flexible learning into the governance regime. The result will be greater convergence of national policies and the space for the new innovation system to flourish. |

| b2b marketing in china: Towards Sustainable Society on Ubiquitous Networks Makoto Oya, Ryuya Uda, Chizuko Yasunobu, 2008-08-15 The massive growth of the Internet has made an enormous amount of infor- tion available to us. However, it is becoming very difficult for users to acquire an - plicable one. Therefore, some techniques such as information filtering have been - troduced to address this issue. Recommender systems filter information that is useful to a user from a large amount of information. Many e-commerce sites use rec- mender systems to filter specific information that users want out of an overload of - formation [2]. For example, Amazon. com is a good example of the success of - commender systems [1]. Over the past several years, a considerable amount of research has been conducted on recommendation systems. In general, the usefulness of the recommendation is measured based on its accuracy [3]. Although a high - commendation accuracy can indicate a user's favorite items, there is a fault in that - ly similar items will be recommended. Several studies have reported that users might not be satisfied with a recommendation even though it exhibits high recommendation accuracy [4]. For this reason, we consider that a recommendation having only accuracy is - satisfactory. The serendipity of a recommendation is an important element when c- sidering a user's long-term profits. A recommendation that brings serendipity to users would solve the problem of “user weariness” and would lead to exploitation of users' tastes. The viewpoint of the diversity of the recommendation as well as its accuracy should be required for future recommender systems. |
