Sino-European Business Consulting
EXPERTISE & SERVICES
Solution Development
The success or failure of a strategy is often determined by the way it is executed. It can be a real challenge for a foreign company to identify suitable partners, develop trusting relationships, disentangle fiscal regulations in various parts of the country and finding your way through the local bureaucracy.
With our consultants and partners in Hong Kong, China and Europe, YDM simplifies the entire process for your expansion into China or from China into Europe. More importantly, we use our network, experiences and sector knowledge to help you to open doors and to explore the best solution.
SOLUTION SCOPE DEFINITION
Scope definition clearly defines what is inside the project. Furthermore, it identifies key stakeholders, project resources and ensures agreement of all parties involved on the scope. It also defines any ‘change request’ procedures among various partners required to systematically manage any modification in scope.
BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYSIS
YDM’s long and thorough experience in organizational and process analysis makes it an ideal partner to assess the impact and consequences of any new strategy. YDM can provide a detailed analysis of the current state of business processes and identify gaps and opportunities. Combined with the strategic orientation and industry best practices, YDM assists in developing the future business process and organizational structure.
YDM consultants have been entrusted with process analysis assignments in the areas such as:
Accounting and finance
Sales & marketing
Distribution
Manufacturing
PARTNER IDENTIFICATION, AUDIT AND SELECTION
Working with the right partner is often the key to a successful venture. YDM provides access to the most suitable candidates through professional audit.
​
YDM ensures a well-rounded assessment and guarantees a high success rate for any kind of cooperation. We have carried out partner audit and selection in the sectors like textile manufacturing, online and offline distribution, among others.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION
Contract negotiation is a process of building trust for future cooperation while balancing the power between various parties. Many western companies are either caught in situations where they are unable to resolve a decision thus losing time and opportunity, or in entering into a cooperation which they later find out could have been structured and negotiated more favorably.
YDM has been entrusted with various types of contract negotiation on behalf of Western and Chinese clients with satisfactory results.
PRODUCT COMPARISON & SOURCING STUDY
Product mix and inventory control are determining factors for profitability. The lead time from conception to market launch, the level of customization of products, the flexibility of suppliers, etc, all greatly impact the business’ bottom line.
Together with our clients, we identify their specific needs and validate a production solution. In addition, our experienced consultants in Hong Kong and mainland China, can provide further long-term cost-effective sourcing solutions.
Textile industry
​
YDM consultants have built long term ties with leading Chinese textile and garment manufacturers over the past decade. We have been involved in the sourcing activities of many leading high-street brands, such as Marks and Spencer, Next, S.Oliver, Esprit, Zara, Vera Moda, etc.
We provide total sourcing solutions for medium high street brands. We aim to provide short ‘design-to-market’ lead-times, premium product R&D services and intelligent logistic solutions.
