Founding of the area of activity dedicated to China

A specialized area :
The best qualitative studies in China

 
China :
A fast-changing society and marketplace which urge to adapt the strategies and products.
A marketplace where brands have reached a stage of assessment and rationalization of strategies, where repeated failures and stagnations must be explained… as well as success for how to structure the positioning.
Un grand éloignement culturel, une culture complexe, difficile à cerner.
Ceci implique des études stratégiques à dimension culturelle et anthropologique et de haute qualité.
