San Antonio, TX – The International Trade Center, Free Trade Alliance and UTSA COB Liu’s Family Foundation will launch the first Business China Executive Training Program (BCETP) in San Antonio, Texas throughout March and April, 2008. Based on the Certified Global Business Professional credential, the BCETP consists of four modules designed to deliver real-world knowledge and first-hand experience from industry experts on how to do business in the People’s Republic of China.

Modern Business Management in the PRC, Module I on March 25, will begin by highlighting the fundamentals of doing business with China followed by a traditional Chinese lunch that will teach you the essentials of Chinese dinning etiquette. The afternoon session includes an extensive overview on product sourcing from China and a simulation case study that will give you the opportunity to interact with Chinese professionals from the UTSA COB Liu’s Family Foundation and get a real feeling of Chinese business culture.
