Kaizen, first practiced in Japanese businesses, is a concept referring to business activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to the assembly line workers. Currently, aiming to eliminate waste (lean manufacturing), we can see Kaizen has been put into use mainly in the supply chain, such as purchasing and logistics. Besides, it also applies to healthcare, psychotherapy, life coaching, government, and banking.

The COVID-19 outbreak in late January took most companies by surprise, and the associated disruptions in supply chains, demand, and general operations had a considerably negative impact on businesses, especially SMEs.

The European Chamber is thus pleased to invite you to join our upcoming Forum meeting, which will cover not only the topic of crisis management but also will provide specific examples of best practices throughout the COVID-19 outbreak and throughout past crises.

A strong brand is instrumental in winning new customers when entering China’s market. As lot of time and money is spent on building brand reputation, it can be damaging to SMEs if someone else started to sell their products under the same brand name. Thus, brand protection is the key to success on China’s market. Successful protection, however, requires a comprehensive strategy, including registering IP such as trademarks, monitoring the market and taking action when spotting infringements.
