You represent "Global Consulting", one of the most prestigious International Consulting Firms. Global Consulting specializes in Multinational Corporations operating in diverse formats in different parts of the world. Their success has come from the fact that Global Consulting knows how to handle all the elements related to the international operation of corporations. Issues like finance, marketing, human resources, cross cultural management, international politics, geopolitical elements and other, are always considered when they evaluate business opportunities and business operations.

Today, you are hired by Mia Foster, the new CEO of Levendary Caf. She wants your advice on how to handle the situation (the one described in the case). She is now on the Limo on her way from the Pudong Airport to the meeting with Louis Chen, and you have 60 minutes to present to her your recommendations and to support them enough, so she will listen and act accordingly.

Your recommendations should come in 3 different issues:

1. Recommendations on what to do regarding the situation with the management and the way to handle the administration of the business in China. (office and management issues)
2. The situation and future of the operations in China. Should they leave? Should they stay? Should they invest more? (strategic decisions)
3. Make a specific recommendation about one country in Asia where they should invest to establish and expand new operations, other than China. (Asian Expansion)
