Research
Via in-person interviews and on-site visits, we gather and interpret information
for our clients. Examples of past projects include interviews designed
to pinpoint morale issues among employees in Asia for a multinational
corporation, and a preliminary screening of distributors in the People's
Republic of China for a US-based healthcare manufacturer.
Editing
Aja Consultants provides editing, book and article reviews, and fact-checking
services for publications about other cultures written in English. We
also adapt the content and style of English-language materials and presentations
for foreign audiences. Examples of past projects include the review of
an academic article concerning popular Chinese culture, and spell-checking
the romanization of Chinese and Japanese words in news articles.
Consulting
Our consulting services are varied, but always focus on the specific,
immediate needs of our clients. Examples of past projects include facilitation
of commercial negotiations and accompanying clients on customer care visits
in a variety of industries.
Education
We have designed and delivered dozens of programs tailored to meet the
needs of corporations as well as academic institutions. Examples of these
programs are executive briefings concerning working with people from specific
places such as Hong Kong or France, as well as multicultural team-building
sessions.
Here are sample topics from a program for Westerners doing business with
Chinese counterparts:
- China: the Region and People
- Understanding the Role of Culture
- Building Relationships
- Communicating Effectively
- Chinese Beliefs and Values
- Foreign Companies in China: Challenges and Strategies
