Editor's Notes
- #4 -No. 2 economy in the World. Ahead of Japan. Behind the United States. Future leader in global economy. -Major exporter to the West/developed countries -Market oriented economy that is focused on the private sector/ China wants to do business with the Western Companies -Getting in first is important/ private sector is growing rapidly -The last decade saw some of the largest economic growth in World History. Took only 30 years. -What took many countries two hundred years to achieve, China did in thirty years. -As markets grow it will be become harder to enter the market. The competition is already tight.
- #5 *Trade surplus: Rise shows that health of global economy is important to China. It brings greater benefits to those in China. -2010: U.S. China trade gap is at $252 billion -While the U.S. is a victim of Chinese imports, it’s still a leader in information technology, finance, consulting, and accounting. -U.S. is still the standard that all developing and emerging countries follow.
- #7 -Population: 666 million/ from the Sixth National Census High population density -Megacities: Centers of politics, business and media. Are like any modern city. Populations are in the tens of millions: Cities provide the greatest source for workers. As cities become more developed competition in the region will become harder. Each city represents a particular region of China. Shanghai: 20 million people and a leader in the Asian financial sector. This region has seen a majority of the economic growth. Has the best market for workers. Beijing: 20 million people and a center of business and politics. This region has many startups. Right now real estate is very expensive but being the capital of China it will always be a major destination. Chongqing: In land China. Untapped region. Major industries are steel, cement, heavy manufacturing. Up and coming area, has seen much development in recent years. Chengdu: Based in Sichuan. In the next 10 years it could become a business destination in central China. Guangzhou and Shenzhen- Pearl River Delta. Economic hub in the South. The government wants to merge the nine cities in the region into one mega city with a population of over 40 million. -China’s cities have become more developed in recent years. Government is expanding development into tier two and three regions. -Future of China is in the new megacities- Cities are being built and expanded throughout China to meet the demand of future Chinese. -Cities more importantly provide new markets and source of work force. The government wants 60% of the country to live in cities in the next twenty to thirty years. China is building many new cities to house million resident -These cities have been getting a lot of bad press lately. They are seen as “Ghost cities”. As the new middle class grows these cities could be hotspots for economic activity in regions that are currently untapped.
- #8 -Three of the biggest cities in China Each is unique to their particular region. Has population some of the largest populations in the World. - They have lots of people to choose from/ diverse workforce
- #9 Real Estate in cites is becoming more expensive. This might be an example of a bubble. The current prices of real estate in major cities can not last forever. As of right now prices are on the rise. There are no bargains in the market. Housing market should be watched closely. It is a sign of how strong the Chinese economy is. -Chinese Real Estate: Has become a major industry 2004: $119 billion 2007: $147 billion 2009: $210 billion
- #10 -Currency Valuation: RMB vs. U.S. Dollar Dollar has more than six times its purchasing power in China. Many products are cheaper in China. Some are comparable to U.S. prices. This is seen more in the luxury categories. Get more for your money. Opening an office can be more affordable than staying in the States. Also China is an emerging market that has yet to reach level that is equal to the United States The value of the RMB The Chinese central government has been trying to keep RMB undervalued. This has made Chinese exports cheaper. In 1990’s the Yuan was valued at $1=8.1RMB In 2005, Chinese government began revaluing. It has stayed near 6.5 Right now it at 6.47RMB. This new valuation is the lowest it has been since 2004. The recent change is a sign that the Chinese Central Government does wish to continue its policies of revaluation. Expect the revaluation of the Yuan to come slowly. The government wants to keep the rate of appreciation at 3-5% every year. In addition, the government will allow the Yuan to be freely traded. This will further open the markets making competition in China much tougher. The government wants the Yuan to be more widely used internationally. China has large foreign currency reserves that as of March are valued at $3 trillion. The government is having a hard time deploying the cash it has. This issue should be followed further because it presents an idea of what China’s intentions are for the Yuan and its role in the global economy.
- #11 Next Generation of Chinese Lived under new prosperity Ages 20’s-30’s Those who are educated want to work This group is a major part of the new economic growth. They are the first generation to make something. Due to past history/ 40’s+ seem to be less educated 2011: 6.6 million college graduates Large talent pool/ very competitive market Ex: Some companies have only 1,500 spots. They get 30,000 applications. Yet it can be hard to find quality workers. Some have a hard time adjusting to working- expect to have world handed to them. Lack work experience- for many after graduation is the first time they have a job/ lack of work experience Lack basic skills such as teamwork and leadership
- #12 2010: Total number of Chinese Students abroad around the world reached 284,700/ results are from the Education ministry These students are part of a special elite group. They have access to money that allows them to be educated outside of China. As the Yuan appreciates one should expect more Chinese students to study abroad. Recruiting these kinds of students will be helpful in creating a modern Chinese workforce that can tackle the important issues in both the West and China.
- #16 Elements of Cloud Computing: 1) Software as a service: Application software for enterprise and private customers based on paper per consumption model. Using multi tenant architecture. 2) Platform as a Service: Runtime, development and test environment for Saas applications. Allows for deployment of applications in quickly without the hindrance of large server network. Joint usage by Saas vendors in Public Cloud. 3) Infrastructure as a Service: Inexpensive data center services- storage, server, bandwidth- on a highly flexible delivery and billing model. Using highly automated process landscape and virtualized data center= internet Cloud Service is delivered through the internet. 4) Consult and Services: Consulting on business and information technology. Advisory group who helps set up system. Service desk. Service integration. Service bundling. 1. Public Cloud Shared network Used by multiple organizations. Community that allows for collaboration. Public Forum. Security of network is major issue that many have. How secure is the data? 2. Private Cloud Personal network. Private. Hosted in private data centers. Can be outsourced to third party. 3. Hybrid Cloud Allows for storage of non-sensitive data. Must have an IT infrastructure that is flexible. Allows resources to be stored in-house and externally. Use public cloud to archive data Maintain in-house storage for operational data Most sophisticated cloud system. It allows a business to take advantage of scalability and cost effectiveness that a public cloud computing environment offers without exposing important applications and data to third-party vulnerabilities.
- #17 Cloud Services Market: China Developing in Three phases: Establish: by American internet pioneers: Amazon.com Partnership: With consulting firms and provide infrastructure services to other companies entering the Saas market: Dell Services, Accenture, HP Enterprise Services Broaden: Work with local companies who provide access to local market. Working with local software companies makes product more affordable and secure in local market. When local organization is involved other groups begin to trust.
- #18 China Cloud’s: -Doing business in china requires cooperation with the government. Most clouds right now with government agencies and major Chinese companies. - Smaller companies are still not sure about the technology. They want to makes sure the systems is secure and that data will not be seen by others. -Data centers are now being built to meet the potential demand of the technology. ZTE and IBM are now building some of the largest in the world. -Politically: Data centers will allow the government to track users and control content with more ease. -Doing business in China sometimes requires one to put aside their beliefs. Need to follow the rules of China. - Only a small number using it right now. Over the next two years many companies with be investigating, piloting, testing cloud systems. Still need time to adjust to the new technology. Silo based service network is still the dominant IT structure. -Chinese businesses can turn to the cloud to become more efficient but right now most care about cost. Don’t care about speed of service. -Industry is still being established=mostly by foreign companies. Chinese are limited to ventures between local authorities and foreign vendors. *Chinese Companies: Not yet sure of cloud computing. - Waiting for more results. How are others doing? -Scared about security of the system. Don’t like to share data with others.
- #19 Client Issues: How is Cloud computing dealt with? Security Customer Audits- Testing clients system. What is at risk. What is sensitive. Classify clients data as independent evaluator. Reliability Protection against disasters- natural and unnatural. System is still workable. Insurance that data access continues on. New servers are up running in a few hours. Compliance Help choose least painful and most effective means for their industry. Good evaluator who understands the technology. Integration Can be very smooth. Not a long process. Help with large and small movies to cloud technology. *Cloud Providers should understand that many clients don’t understand technology. Those who give the best service will get access to the best clients.
- #20 -Government is a leader. - Have struck deals with IT companies. - They like foreign companies but want them to partner with local software companies. - The right partnership is needed. Should make sure that intellectual property is protected. - Do not want local software company to steal ideas. - How far are you willing to go? - China is different. Rules might be different than in America. Need to understand how such a relationship can be beneficial and hurtful.
- #22 *Competition in China is mostly foreign, Fortune 500, tech companies. Need to be aggressive in China to survive. -Local Firms are very small. Create partnerships with major foreign firms.
- #23 -The big firms have been in China since 1990’s.
- #24 IBM: Big Blue *Major Player in China/ have many connections with China’s leaders- Political and Business- understand how to do bussiness in China. -Focuses on software, hardware, data centers- consulting Data Centers: provide a places to use cloud computing & access large amounts of data “In House IT”: use array of cloud integration tools to get desired business capability “Global technology outlook”: attempt to spot important trends early Want to stay ahead/ grab market before everyone else
- #25 Providing technology/ expertise to Chinese companies building strategic partnerships: will grow overtime- some are just starting out Ex: Range Technology –helping build data center in Beijing/ serve government departments -doing business in China is about who you know & who you have relationships with moving into Beijing market: want to turn area into high end information technology and services center
- #26 Hewlett Packard: Information Technology business has been about acquiring others. Though they have a history of being research based. -Similar to IBM. Through various businesses it has access to new areas. Has been trying to strengthen its software and enterprise service businesses. New CEO Apotheker, former head of SAP has made it his objective to be competitive in China market. Leo Apotheker can’t seem to handle running a diverse company. Leader of a software company might be the problem: -Need a more diverse background to handle a large company like HP. -HP is becoming more a software and service oriented company. Looking to grab software and hardware business with others. No longer friends with Oracle. Fighting over hardware- 3PAR vs. Sun *Companies who are in China are diversifying their businesses. The Chinese market can change in the blink of an eye. Staying ahead is important. Ex: Services business is seen as future. Has strong outsourcing business due to EDS acquisition. Through EDS purchase, HP has service business in China that goes back to early 1990’s.
- #27 -HP has been had a growing interest in Cloud Computing. This is the case with most foreign technology companies in China. They are trying to build support from governments. *Differences from other Clouds: - Right now it seems that no company has a particular edge in the cloud market. The differences between clouds are very little. In the coming years companies who are invested in the development of clouds should create specific niches. Right now the only thing different is that companies are attaching their names to products and making it sound like it’s different from others. - HP Cloud System: uses unique HP features- software and hardware. Promotes HP IT products. - Big feature of the HP Cloud is its mobile capabilities. - Web enabled allows clients to access data quickly. - Reduce consumption of energy. Green Technology. *HP sells the technology has beneficial to the environment - HP Cloud Consulting Services: Helps create cloud network. Focus on increase productivity, improve competitiveness and deliver measurable results. *Major Focus is that Clouds benefit global worker. It allows them to have access to data anywhere “Instant on Enterprise”- Embeds technology into everything a client does. Objective is to provide better access. HP Cloud Enterprise Service- Only takes a few minutes to set up. Set up is similar to other cloud networks.
- #28 Accenture: The Technology Consultants. Does not manufacture hardware. Helps implement. Can this be seen as a negative? Why would a client want to buy hardware and software from another company. Then get the services from them. Consulting Company- Provides advice and connections to clients. Knows providers of software and hardware. -Their advisory role keeps them from benefiting from other parts of the industry. - They are organizers that can help with transitioning to new technologies. - Accenture gives the same advice that other companies give: When reading their client prospectus one gets the same story. 1) Help make your system more efficient. 2) Look at the now and future. Help clients create a network that is efficient. What else they do is hard to tell? 3) Focusing on high performance. 4) Develop different cloud networks- hybrid, public, and private. -Pushing the Greater China business. Trying to show its importance my creating outsourcing opportunities. Provide IT help to clients. Work with Consults. Seek employees who can tackle the challenges of China
- #29 - Accenture’s Use of Clouds: Custom Experience Develop systems that allow clients to build and maintain clouds. Delivery enabler who speeds the deliver process. Always on time and on budget. - Business Process Utility. Clouds are a form of outsourcing. Allow a company to capture or launch a new business quickly. It’s all about time and money. *Clouds are part of the IT experience. They make a business more competitive and can make some business models obsolete. Accenture is big about making clients the first people to adopt the technology. Less technical and more business. - Platform Clouds: Allow web conferencing, email, and team collaboration solutions. This technology is important feature for 21st century company. Communication between workers is important
- #30 Microsoft China: World’s largest software company. Have been involved in China since early 1990’s. Learned from experience that China is a different market that anywhere else. Prices are not the same as in the West. To be successful you need to be affordable and beneficial. Chinese have different standards. Need to provide a service that is cheaper. Collaborating with local industry is important for survival. No company can survive on its own in China. Working with local software companies to make industry better. Has worked with the Chinese Government to bring more attention and knowledge to information technology. Microsoft software is the dominant operating system on computers in China.
- #31 Cloud Computing: “Microsoft Azure” Helps bring IT experience together with 3rd Party vendors- accessible through internet. Doesn’t require a fancy IT infrastructure. Only need broadband internet connection. Able to access Microsoft products: Bing search engine- provides for a better experience. Cloud Computing software is used by many vendors- ex. Siemens and HP. How will Skype be used? - It has the potential to further allow online communication between businesses.
