Innovation and R&D are inexhaustible driving force and core competitiveness for long-term and sustainable development of an enterprise. Chinese government attaches great importance to the role of R&D investment by enterprises in national economy, and introduces a series of R&D incentive programs. As a starting point, considerations need to be given to the correlation of the IP arrangement/TP positioning of the China entity in the value chain and the R&D incentive that a company may claim.

How Kaizen philosophy has spread throughout the world and has been applied to environments inside and outside the business as well as productivity? How to solve one ‘’basic issue’’ in your company?

Currently, aiming to eliminate waste (lean manufacturing), we can see Kaizen has been put into use mainly in the supply chain, such as purchasing and logistics. Besides, it also applies to healthcare, psychotherapy, life coaching, government, and banking.

Affected by the epidemic, economies around the world have been hard hit, forcing many companies to face difficult HR challenges. In these uncertain times, companies must efficiently allocate their human resources by adjusting their internal organization structure and salary structure in order to guarantee long term sustainable development. However, the tasks involved in these adjustments, such as downsizing and salary reduction, are not your common everyday tasks done by your HR team. Many companies lack experience dealing with these types of matters and can open themselves up to legal risks if not handled properly.
