O erro muitos povos faz quando acoplar fabricantes ou produtos de compra em China é pensar barato. O preço custo-o mais baixo o mais baixo, disconto do disconto do disconto. Há uma alternativa e muito melhores que os comerciantes não estejam explorando atualmente.

Por exemplo deixa a tomada um o par das sapatas. Quase 50% de todas as sapatas vendidas no Reino Unido originam em China. Agora os custos envolveram em manufaturar um par das sapatas incluem o custo dos materiais, IE. couro, o custo de empacotar, o custo de…

De acordo com Épocas financeiras, nós todos escolhemos a carreira errada quando nós nos decidimos ser fabricantes, doers e ajudantes. O dinheiro grande está no dinheiro móvel ao redor, e os mais melhores negócios do salário em China estão sendo dados aos fabricantes do negócio para a direita agora.

As companhias de serviços financeiros chinesas e internacionais locais beneficiaram-se da abertura recente do mercado. As companhias extrangeiras chegaram em uma estadia boa, com os volumes enormes do dinheiro que chapinham ao redor em clientes de banco unrewarding, ou encontrando-se sob mattresses. É a reunião perfeita da fonte e da demanda.

My friend Chris Carr, dean of the CalPoly MBA program and the brains behind the International Business Tour blog has a very thoughtful post, entitled, “Will Paying More Change Behavior And Make Someone More Ethical?” Thoughtful, but wrong.

The post centers on whether paying more gets you better performance and/or better ethics, and Chris pretty much says it does not:

“Some suggested that we could solve the problem of too many defective products coming from China by paying more to the Chinese suppliers that make this stuff. I questioned that assumption, and still do.

One example I gave in that discussion thread was that if paying people more solved the problem, then why does paying most good employees more still result in good performance, but not superior performance? (See Comment No. 29.) And why does paying most bad employees more money still get you bad performance, and not good performance? (If you feel that more money correlates to higher performance, come see me after you have hired, managed and fired more than a few people, and let’s compare notes.)”

Besides the human tragedy, there has always been a certain irony in the fact that the communist system has never been able to achieve its main goal: to bring prosperity to the masses.

More specifically in China, there first where the farmers that did not particularly benefited from the revolution that was undertaken in their name. And now, much to Beijing’s chagrin one imagines, one scandal after another regarding the maltreatment of workers hits the international press circuit.

But, help is underway. Starting January 1, 2008, the new labour contract law will come in force in China. Surprisingly it has many characteristics of the Dutch system which will give rise to some alarm among employers familiar with the Dutch system. Read the rest of “Workers’ paradise” or post a comment
