Tuesday 13th.

Today we visited the Danish window manufacture Velux’s Chinese department. We were picket up early 7.40 by the bus, and afterwards the trip went to Lang Fang one hour from Beijing. We were going to get two lectures by Christian Topp Olse (CEO) and Jan Engberg Sørensen (Production manager) where they were going to tell us about how a company works in China compared to other countries. It was very exiting to hear about the challenges that followed in the establishment of a company in an unfamiliar society. The class was divided in to two, and the first part started out with Christian Topp Olsen and the second part was shown the production department by Jan Engberg Sørensen. The two groups switched lecturer after an hour, and that was followed by a lovely lunch that contained traditional Chinese food in the cafeteria with the employees. The day ended at two a clock, where we were driven home by the bus.
