Multilevel Marketing Companies in China: The Full Report
For the past few days I’ve been posting excerps from my Honors Undergraduate Thesis. Things have been changing very quickly in China recently, especially for MLM.
Often considered a cult by the Chinese Government, (like the Falun Gong), the Chinese government is departamentally trying to deal with the 10 Billion dollar industry in China.
In the meantime, MLM companies are doing what they can to catch up with Amway and take advantage of the situation before anything else changes.
If anyone is interested in my full thesis and references, let me know. I’d be happy to see what I can do to make that available.

i’m trying to see how this multilevel marketing works because it’s hard to find decent studies on that.

Eric, In my research of scores of books and hundreds of articles, perhaps the most comprehensive help was a textbook on the subject of direct sales, Direct Sales an Overview by Laggos. Here’s the link on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966734106/qid=1136665292/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-2100657-5991034?n=507846&s=books&v=glance You might also check out some stuff from DSA, (Direct Sales Association).

Would love to read your entire thesis on this subject of MLM in China along with references. I am interested in it from the perspective of determining if MLM can really be classified as an “industry” given that it exceeds USD $100B in annual revenue production. Or, since it is not classified by the markets as an “industry” is it something quite different? Please email what you can. Thank you. Rob

I am currently doing work for a client who runs a MLM software company in Hong Kong, it’s MultiSoftWare Grup (Asia Pacific) Ltd. www.mlmasia.hk also under the same hat as mlmasian.com . It is a registered company that seems to be very legitimate with many interesting products like the mlm builder, mlm desktop system and more, and was formed around 18 years ago starting from multisoft corporation if anyone has heard of it?
