Globalization Is Facing Challenges. How Are Chinese Employees In Tncs Going?

Some of the global superimposed epidemics of protectionism have been frustrated by globalization.

As the biggest beneficiaries of globalization, multinational corporations are undoubtedly facing the choice of advance and retreat, while Chinese employees in multinational corporations are hovering between choices and choices.

To a large extent, these people seem to have something in common, such as Kochi, fastidious and Western style. Just as multinational companies are similar to each other in the country, the industry and nationality may be different, but the framework and mentality must have the same adaptability. "If you are familiar with a multinational company, you can adapt to any multinational company." Many multinational companies feel sorry for me.

So how are these "foreign" Chinese companies in multinational companies? Scoring time. In 1999, Gao became the general manager of Microsoft China. He was the vice president and chief executive officer of Asia's largest development area.

This year, Microsoft faced a "anti piracy" storm in China. "On the day of work, there were more than 300 reporters blocking the door. A turn, a TV camera facing you. I jumped over the window and couldn't get out of the door. " In the exclusive interview, Gao Guang Yao once recalled to me.

Historical gear continues to move forward. With Gao's efforts to help Microsoft solve its short-term problems, the structural predicament of the company in China is highlighted, which is quite common in foreign companies. This is reflected in the embarrassing relationship between Microsoft Greater China and Microsoft China. In March 2002, Gao graduated from Microsoft. At that time, the head of Greater China was Huang Cunyi, a Taiwanese of China.

With the rapid development of China's economic strength and the deepening of globalization, the cost of foreign companies' self imposed act is defeated in China.

"If we draw a table, abscissa is tangible assets to intangible assets change, ordinate is a successful business in China. You will find that the more tangible things you have to the left side, the more visible, systematic and production lines will be easier to succeed, such as apple production lines. From tangible assets to intangible transformation, the success of foreign enterprises in China is far fetched. PC is very good in China, and software has never been. Walking to the right side becomes an Internet company. There are basically no successful cases in China. In the course of moving from tangible assets to intangible assets, the success rate of foreign enterprises in China has dropped significantly. Gao Guang Yao concludes.

Now, more and more mainland Chinese are on the core posts of foreign enterprises. In 2015, Shell appointed the first Chinese person to become the chairman of the China region. Ge first appointed the president and chief executive from China in 2014.

But the number of people who get the top is still a minority. According to rough statistics, in the top 60 of the Fortune 500 list in 2019, 15 Chinese companies and 18 undisclosed companies were excluded. Among the 27 top 60 international companies in 2019, CEO accounted for over 60% of the foreign origin in China or in the Asia Pacific region.

This means that the promotion space of foreign enterprises is still limited, which is undoubtedly a blow for the Chinese who are struggling with foreign enterprises. "The headquarters is too far away, or we want to seize the initiative by ourselves. This is a common problem for foreign enterprises, and it is very common for them to be collected and put away." Another senior foreign company said.

But foreign companies are also facing new opportunities. The emergence of Chinese enterprises in the world's top 500 has given new opportunities and opportunities for Chinese foreign enterprises. At the same time, because of the factors of trade friction, the foreign enterprises left behind need to put down their arrogance. The mainland people are the best schools of knowledge.

Of course, some people completely abandon the enterprise system. For example, Zhou Xin Lu, the first job, Gao Wei Shen law firm, then worked in Ge and PHILPS, and eventually chose to start his own business.

This was the best group in China, at least in the student era. Their choice, to a certain extent, also indicates a vague but traceable future.
