| contents | <p><strong>ABSTRACT:</strong> This paper explores the challenges of communicating with foreign customers in China, focusing on factors such as culture, language, technology, customer choice, communication approach, translation, manners, behaviour, time, and frequency. Understanding cultural differences and norms is crucial for establishing business relationships. English is the primary medium of communication in international business environments, but Mandarin Chinese is appreciated and respected. Decentralized bilingual communication allows for localization and avoids misunderstandings. Relationship development is another means of interaction, with networking, social events, and mutual respect for business and personal relations, known as Guanxi. A sense of trust and friendly understanding between companies is essential for long-term business relations. The dependent variable is customer buying satisfaction. The study aims to create a conceptual model outlining how Chinese organizations can communicate with foreign customers and segment communication based on customer preferences. The proposed strategies aim to enhance customer satisfaction and create sustainable market success.</p> |
