You and your colleagues are invited to join the Council for a new procurement workshop entitled 'Cost Control' to take place on December 9 in Shanghai. The workshop will start with a lunch, then followed by a group discussion around the following topic:

Is China too expensive?

Adjustments to the labor policies, wage inflation, rising taxes, western economic downturns and Renminbi appreciation drive some to conclude that China�s heyday is over.Shippers heeding the call of nay saying analysts are evaluating near-shoring alternatives to their international procurement operations. However, a significant number of foreign entities continue to achieve positive returns by implementing and sustaining their China strategy. This workgroup will highlight ways in which shippers have kept China cheap for their business.

Host &Speaker: Pilar Dieter, Director, Alaris Consulting

Pilar Dieter serves as Director for Alaris Consulting�s China Organization. She has over 11 years of industry expertise serving companies supply chain divisions through business process re-engineering efforts and system implementations.

Why our workgroups are different?
- Unlike committees organized by other councils and chambers, this workgroup series is restricted to procurement and sourcing professionals. Vendors such as bankers, headhunters, IT/software or consultants are not allowed in these discussions.
- This workgroup series is also organized in an "informal" setting (e.g. selected quiet restaurants) where good food (and drinks) tend to foster discussion and openness between participants.
