VTB Auto Development Director Boris Shkitin recently brought economic theory to life for students in the International Manufacturing Business program. The lecture consisted almost entirely of real-life case studies and concrete figures.

The speaker discussed the dynamics of parallel imports from Asia, using examples of cooperation with Chinese automobile companies Haval, Great Wall, and Chery Group. He explained how adapting to new foreign trade conditions helps not only maintain market share but also develop new export and import avenues.

The VTB top manager also discussed market changes influenced by global geopolitics in recent years and emphasized that modern business requires flexibility, knowledge of international law, and constant monitoring of current trends in interstate relations.

Additionally, future manufacturers learned about new distribution channels, digital tools for analyzing e-commerce statistics, and integrating technologies for product selection. A separate section of the masterclass was dedicated to specific tips on analyzing new markets, participating in startups, and developing their own projects using up-to-date knowledge of parallel imports.

Concluding the meeting, Boris Shkitin noted that success in business is impossible without the ability to analyze large volumes of information, make quick decisions, and be open to new experiences.
