    About this ebook

    China became the world's top manufacturer in 2010, with a razor-thin margin over the USA. With so much of the global manufacturing output going to China, the West has become smarter and far more educated in dealing with Mainland China, yet the process of Hiring or even Firing staff remains a complex issue - as of July 2013 the whole process just got a whole lot more complicated.

    Callan Anderson lives in Hong Kong and has spent a great deal of his fourteen years in the territory as well covering operations in China; spending a large number of years heading a regional recruitment firm with four offices across the Mainland. Callan talks about the issues and methods that every firm entering China should be aware of. His anecdotal stories explain many of the lateral thinking techniques you need to consider when working in China.

    From hiring some of the smartest staff on the planet, to managing out those who are not, Callan gives a concise overview of the ways to manage a Western employment model in an Eastern market.

    Callan Anderson

    I have been fortunate in my career that I have managed to re-invent myself several times within my life, realising that whatever your last job was, does not mean to say that your next one should follow the same path. I work on the adage that the more experience one gains, the more one can offer a future employer and yourself as a person. ​ I started life as a trained chef and partner in a restaurant business, only to find out that I was a pretty awful cook. From selling my business at age twenty-two, I became voluntary Chairman of two charities that were in distress, saving both of them from the rigours of financial insolvency; which then led me to utilizing my skills at the United Nations during the Bosnian War. Building on the operational and financial skills I have gained. My abilities in eCommerce led me to Hong Kong at the end of 1999, where I worked for Hong Kong Telecom as head strategist of eConsulting and IT strategy, noting that my only knowledge of IT at that time was that all computer systems had flashing lights and a plethora of cables. From the heady IT & Telecommunications industry, I moved to the Recruitment Industry, where I had remained for some years in leading one of Asia’s largest independent recruitment firms over eight offices in Hong Kong, China, Singapore & Thailand. My most recent incarnation has focused my energies on operational management, human resources, business development and financial control of one of the region’s most respected Trust and Fiduciary organisations engaged in helping firms enter the China market through management of their operations and business interests. This includes accountancy, legal, trade and company structures through a consultative approach that encapsulates the client business needs when trading far from their own shores.
