The right fit
“More important than selecting the right location was finding the right local partner. Mr Zhang’s key staff have been with him throughout several entrepreneurial ventures, the most recent of which was a product sold to Oracle. Among the present team of 100 staff, more than half have very good English skills and have taken part in large-scale international projects. That kind of experience is not easy to find in China, according to Mr Miloslavsky. The staff have already been part of a development team that had corresponding teams in the US, Germany and India and had experience of working with other global development centres. “I knew that would be the key because they would be able to work and integrate with my development teams in eastern Europe,” says Mr Miloslavsky.”
