· UCC was engaged by a Spanish elevator guide manufacturer to look for an investment project for joint venture manufacture of elevator guides in China in 1996-1997. After we investigated the market and major Chinese manufacturers in the sector, we presented our market research report with our professional conclusion to the client, recommending a couple of strong partners we carefully selected for final decision of the client. The Spanish client had successfully set up two joint ventures with two of the largest elevator guide producers in Beijing and Shanghai respectively in 1998.

Highlight of Management Consultancy Service

After signing the engagement agreement, we sent our management consultants to investigate all influential factors at the plant. After three months' on-the-site research, discussions and diagnosis, we prepared a report on the operation and management of the plant, concluding that a corporate culture should be implemented among the managerial staff and workers so as to improve their overall responsibility and enthusiasm in carrying out total quality control (TQC) system.

Its local partner has experience in cooperating with overseas partner. In October 1998, the two sides signed the $3 million worth investment contract.

The major measures we recommend for their adoption include multi-lateral communications with the local government department for support, bilateral understanding, re-arrangement of key personnel in the key positions, etc.
