China's Food Business: What It Takes For Foreigners To Succeed.
2008-08-01 00:13:00 China Business Blog and Podcast just did a post on a CNBC television appearance this morning by Technomic Asia's Steve Ganster. Because so many of my firm's clients are in the international food business and because I see China as a tremendous market for Western food companies, Steve's analysis is of particular interest to me. The key takeaway from Steve's interview is this from the China Business Blog post: As companies are learning that what works at home won’t necessarily work abroad in the Chinese marketplace, they’re finding new ways to cater specifically to the needs and desires of Chinese people — rather than shoe-horning American products into a distinctly non-American set of tastes. Check it out.

Banned from buying houses, foreigners opt for long lease
2008-06-06 08:41:00 With the Goa state government ?banning foreigners from buying properties in the state?, local builders have fine tuned their strategies and are promoting five-year leases among tourists. There are no official figures to prove the trend, but lawyers and builders agree that this is definitely increasing, with several builders from the state organizing road shows and exhibitions in UK to attract customers to Goa. But something needs to be done as houses are being leased to foreigners at a huge price, making it difficult for Goans to invest in homes. Purchasing of property by foreigners has come to a standstill and it?s difficult to execute any deed of sale as the procedure is no longer simple, thus forcing them to seek options like lease, if they intend to stay for long periods in the state. Non-residents require permission from Reserve Bank of India to purchase a house or property in Goa. ?But if the foreigner stays 182 days in India and shows the intention to reside for indefinite pe...
