In the April-June issue of China Business Review, I have an article published on China’s senior care market. Designed to shed light on the regulatory, cultural and contextual challenges American eldercare operators will face when expanding into China, the article focuses on five key challenges: the perceived value of the services provided as judged by Chinese consumers, government involvement (or lack thereof), licensing, human resources, and marketing. If you are a subscriber, you can access the article on-line. Otherwise, look for it in print.
