Introduction to Doing Business in Asia

Over the next 10 years, Asia will deliver two-thirds of global growth, with the IMF predicting that in 2023 the growth rates of India, Vietnam and Indonesia will be among the highest in the world and higher than that of China. However, the region is changing rapidly and competition by other players – from both within Asia and outside – is growing. In addition, Australia’s understanding of, and connection to, the region has declined in recent years due to the impact of COVID-19. 

To enter this vast market, Australian enterprises must strengthen their capabilities and gain a deeper understanding of the local business climate. For businesses and organisations to succeed in Asia it will be critical to urgently upskill their Asia capability. 

This course helps participants build the knowledge and skills to do business across Asia. It focuses on local business styles and how to engage to ensure successful business outcomes.
