57:31About Michelle Garnaut Michelle Garnaut, AO is an Australian restaurateur and best known for her series of restaurants and philanthropic work in China. She began her career as one of China's most celebrated restaurateurs in 1989, when she opened M at the Fringe in Hong Kong. It swiftly grew into a city institution, and in 1999, M on the Bund opened, the first independent restaurant on the historic Shanghai waterfront. Like its predecessor, it soon became a beloved oasis for locals, visitors and lovers of good food and warm service. In 2009 she opened Capital M on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Michelle is also a founder of the Shanghai International Literary Festival, the M Literary Residency, the Village People Project and has spearheaded Mentor Walks across Asia, where up-and-coming professional women can seek advice from experienced mentors. Mentor Walks now operates in Hong Kong, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane and continues to spread around Asia. Michelle is the recipient of many international honours, including the inaugural award in Food at the Advance Global Australian Awards. She sits on various boards including the Advance Global Board. In 2015 Michelle was invited to the 'Legends Hall of Fame' which pays tribute to the leaders, ground breakers and visionaries of Australia and Victoria’s food and wine industry. She was made an ‘Officer of the Order of Australia’ in the Australia Day Honours List 2018. Episode Content: Closing down one of the oldest Western restaurants in Shanghai might seem discouraging for some entrepreneurs, yet the founder has several learnings to keep us inspired. During the interview we spoke of business in China, women entrepreneurs and what it means to be ‘successful’. Michelle says ‘being successful’ means a business needs to make money and allow her to do things that she really wants to do. And to get there you need to work hard and become the best at things you really want to do. She says it’s really that simple. 🤔 The questions we discussed in the episode: What is the most important thing to focus on when starting a business? How to know when you should listen to someone's advice and when you should follow your own gut feeling? How to build a social enterprise that is profitable and contributes to the society? How to renegotiate financial structure with your business partner and gain control? What are some of the most common limiting beliefs female entrepreneurs that stop them from becoming successful? How did the local tastes change over the past 20 years? What do Chinese people really want from a Western business? Why doing 'discounting' on Chinese apps for a restaurant is a terrible advice? What are some strategies that helped the restaurant adapt to the changing environment amidst COVID-19? When to make an exit and how? What can a great leader do to inspire their employees and partners to work with them for 30+ years?

1:09:34Episode Content: The first book we will discuss is about Chinese Corporate Identity . Peter looks at Chinese corporate identity as an extension of social identity, i.e. as it is bestowed onto the individual by the social group. We will analyze a case described in a book “Lukang: the construction of a state-owned enterprise”, pg. 42-78, where CEO leader of a State-Owned Enterprise is at the same time responsible for shaping the company’s identity in a context of a city: providing jobs to people, who are enjoying a certain level of prestige, and ensuring business results; but also he is responsible to deliver results on a national scale: because his company generates a substantial amount of foreign currency for China. It is just one person, but because he assumes the two identities (national-level vs. city-level), he experiences pressure to meet demands of different social groups, which sometimes have conflicting interests. We will discuss why it’s important to think about it when engaging your business partners and how a foreign company should apply this knowledge in business life. The second book we will discuss is about Chinese Entrepreneurship . His book analyzes 7 cases of entrepreneurs, researching how their social capital shaped their entrepreneurial journey and their stories. We will analyze one case in particular “Real Estate Entrepreneur Wang”, pg. 61-71, where Peter deconstructs the story of success of Ms. Wang’s real estate development in Beijing. Ms. Wang gets the rights to develop a residential estate in Beijing by promising to manage the estate and provide for the needs of the residents. She identifies transportation as one of the key needs, and therefore gives up some land and develops a public bus route; she identifies education as another key need of the residents and therefore opens a set of schools (a kindergarten, a primary and a middle school). Because she positions herself as a responsible entrepreneur committed to redefine the way the citizens of China’s capital live, she gains support from local governments and gains required approvals. We will discuss the importance of seeing the bigger picture and serving the needs of different stakeholders for the long-term success of your business and how you can apply this to your business operations in China. Peter’s unique story of a cross-cultural life and a cross-disciplinary career Identity construction processes based on social inclusions The concept of “guanxi” and how to build business processes based on visualized social inclusions Collaborating with semi-governmental organizations to achieve your goals in China How to educate a client as a business consultant?
