Dr. James Chan was the first person commissioned by the American Management Association (AMA) of New York City in 1996 to create and lead a three-day course titled "Business Skills for the China Market."
The seminar was designed for executives, managers and technical professionals of Fortune 1000 companies. Dr. Chan taught the course at AMA facilities in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego and the AMA training center in Brussels, Belgium throughout 1997 and 1998.
Since 1998, Dr. Chan has customized many China training and executive development programs for numerous multinational corporations, U.S. trade associations, and small and midsize privately-held companies.
Such programs range from one-hour executive briefings to one-day workshops covering the following topics.
