Dr. Ebede Ndi, a native of Cameroon, will give a lecture at our center on the occasion of his stay in Japan. We look forward to welcoming those who are interested in doing business in Africa.
◆Title: How to win trust when doing business in Africa
◆Abstract: Africa has become an irreversible center for business opportunities in this century and the next. However, lack of trust, fear of the unknown and the related uncertainty to succeed in this new "gold rush" adventure still dominate the minds of many Asian business leaders. The shortage of proper equipment, training, and knowledge of African business culture prevents them from prioritizing their investment in this emerging large market. Regardless of your preferred business interests, building trust and overcoming psychological barrier is of paramount importance when doing business in Africa. This seminar will equip you with the required conceptual and practical tools and techniques in building trust with your African business partner when you finally decide to make a safe and profitable investment move.
