在十几年的精心投资、布局之后,跨国公司在华进入了收获的季节。这个时候的中国区高管不再需要明星式的人物,而需要有更加成熟的运营经验、更具国际化的视野、综合素质更加全面的职业经理人。
Hewlett-Packard Building at Beijing's Central Business District is where Foo Piau Phang,President of Hewlett-Packard Development Company,L.P.(HP China) ,works. It is rumored that near-50 Foo would even toured around the café from time to time to check whether there are managers of HP China dinning at working hours. Different from his predecessor Cheng-Yaw Sun,who cared more about corporate culture and marketing,Foo is concerned with cost cut,in line with the managing concept of HP's CEO Mark Hurd. It is not uncommon to see big or small redundancies across the IT industry in 2009. The 2008 financial crisis has dealt a hard blow to the industry whose major revenue resources are from the financial sector. Reduced IT budgets of other industries have dragged IT companies in a hard time. According to US market researcher Gartner's data,IT budgets in 2009 may only see a 2.3% growth. If the economy keeps heading down,the prospect of IT companies will worsen. China is viewed as one of the rare areas with economic dynamic in the globe since the stimulus package was released last year. Thus how to grasp the opportunity to promote the revenues in the China market has become the prime task for these top executives. How to passing the 2009 test then becomes crucial in their management career.
