Founder of East Gate Consulting
In 1993 Dr. Beiman co-founded East Gate Consulting with 孙永玲 Yong-Ling Sun. East Gate was China’s first Wholly Foreign Owned management consultancy. East Gate pioneered the delivery of consulting and advisory services to more than 150 foreign invested enterprises [FIEs] in China and merged with Hewitt Associates, one of the top 4 global HR consulting firms. A core set of problems are commonly faced by the vast majority of FIEs in China. These problems usually arise from partner conflicts about business strategy and different views of the market, different communication styles and different approaches toward the motivation and management of human resources. East Gate developed a unique change management process that reduced partner conflict, improved cross functional teamwork and re-designed core business processes in cross functional teams. Dr. Beiman brings the knowledge accumulated from work with more than 150 FIES to the challenges of doing business in China in the 21st century.
