Manage your suppliers in China

You need to keep in close communication with the Chinese suppliers so they will do a good job.

There are some cultural differences between western countries and China that may cause problems for your business. Normally, Chinese factory management is not as efficient as in western countries. When they promise you something, they are likely to break the promise, even without any apology. In china, Guanxi (relationship) is a very important factor in conducting business. You must set up a good relation with the factories so they will support you. Normally the big importers hire their own staff to stay in the factories. An alternative is to deal with Chinese trading companies because they will manage the Chinese suppliers to make full use of their location advantage. They can keep good communication with the factories. If the importers give incentives to the trading companies, they can make 100% sure the work will go well.

So most big importers hire their own staff in China to manage the suppliers. But if you do not purchase much, hire your own staff in China is not cost effective.
