China Rising
It's no surprise that China's getting a lot of press lately. My last post noted a report on the top 50 offshore locations and China was near the top. A new article in Forbes notes a study predicting that China will be the top destination for offshore activiy by 2011. What I found interesting is how China is accomplishing this feat. Through decades of manufacturing experience, China has focused on the following:
-
Learning how to interact and meet the needs of foreign clients,
-
Understanding project management,
-
Upgrading their national English language skills
-
Meeting global standards, and
-
Establishing global brands
These factors, coupled with a vast labor pool and low costs, are converging to make China a powerhouse in global service delivery.
