Searching for China's "Bangalore"
Facing the re-division of global information and service industry brought by the economic globalization, all the countries and companies are seriously thinking about their respective comparative advantages, the resource they can use, as well as the survival and development path for them in the 21st century
——Thomas L. Friedman
As a marked feature of Globalization 3.0, service outsourcing industry has become a strategic behavior for enterprises to use global resources and get core competitive advantage. The globalization trend constructs the global arena of service outsourcing. And China has been widely regarded as the most potential offshore outsourcing destination for its low cost, rich human resource, stable economy and strong governmental support.
In the initial stage of industrial development, in order to motivate the enthusiasm of cities, the "Model City" policy is one of the key driving forces to promote the development of China's service outsourcing industry, which has been promoted to the level of national strategy.
As the same time, the fierce city completion has formed, China needs the center city of China's service outsourcing industry, but china can't produce 20 "Bangalore". How the cities soundly develop, how to success in the "survival of the fittest" for China service outsourcing model cities and who will be the true "Bangalore"?
In order to give a perfect answer to the above questions, Devott summarizes the "4+1" module for city to become the center of China's service outsourcing industry
Four, refers to,
1) Geographic Advantage: Near to the economically developed area, in which case, it is possible to fully integrate the advantages of both talent and cost, and thus dig out the domestic and offshore outsourcing market.
2) Development Strategy: Including the clear Industrial positioning and development plan, supporting industrial policies and government implementation sectors.
3) Infrastructure: Infrastructure that fits the features of service outsourcing industry, especially the telecommunications and HR environment.
4) Industry Aggregation: A certain scale of industry aggregation presents the status quo and achievements of local industrial development. And that is the city to win in the fierce competition.
The "four" are the objective factors and which is not enough for giving birth to China's "Bangalore". We must see the other side - the subject factor, which refers to the strong governmental support. Only both the two sides combine can bring us the center city of China's service outsourcing industry.
Which city would become China's "Bangalore"? Dalian? Wuxi? Suzhou? Wuhan? Xi'an? Tianjin? ... Let's wait and see. However, the most important thing is that all cities compete in good order, and develop with its own feature, and construct the unique development path for China's service outsourcing industry, build the brand of " service in China", which is the final result that we are expecting.
