Development of China's key information consulting sector

At present, Chinese and foreign consulting industry has developed rapidly in the world. The services of the U.S. consulting firm cover all aspects of management, technology, engineering, and finance. There are nearly 7,000 companies engaged in management consulting in Germany. 80% of large and medium-sized companies in the UK employ consulting firms throughout the year to advise them on strategy, organization, management, production and information technology. As consulting companies have unique advantages in information systems, professionals and technical analysis, more and more enterprises are inseparable from the consulting industry. Foreign consulting companies since the late 1970s into the Chinese market, has developed to hundreds of homes. According to statistics, at present, our country has more than 30,000 consulting companies, and really engaged in advisory services only more than 1500, in the consulting industry, only dozens of bigger brands. China's consulting industry market is still very imperfect, the accuracy of information collection is not high, timeliness is not strong, it is difficult for enterprises to provide systematic, accurate and timely decision-making information. China's current management consulting also lacks accurate market positioning, the whole industry management is weak, consulting company small and scattered, shape is not scale, even in the domestic consulting industry to develop a faster Shenzhen, its consulting company's business is mainly focused on marketing training, brand cultivation, product agents and other primary business, very little involved in corporate strategy, Information decision-making and other high-level consulting services.

The trend of global economic integration also makes domestic enterprises facing the competition and pressure to international market, domestic enterprises to go out of the country, and gain advantage in the competition, the first one is to understand the foreign market, foreign rules, norms, this is not a single enterprise can be done, This also provides the development space for the consulting industry. According to the consultation observation, the domestic market comprehensive internationalization on the agenda, so that more enterprises are aware of the competition and pressure, enhance competitiveness, access to competitive advantage of the enterprise has introduced the "extended mind" internal demand. China is in the economic transition, industrialization into the second stage, coupled with globalization, information technology. From production and operation to Capital Management, from product management to brand management, the use of growth tools, expansion tools, more competitive tools, more combination tools, more difficult, more professional requirements. Globalization and informatization have exacerbated this trend. such as: How to make reasonable use of information technology, how to effectively use two domestic and foreign resources two markets. Complicated circumstances make it difficult for more and more enterprises to deal with each other independently, when we want to win in the competition objectively need to introduce "extended mind", take advantage of the external advanced intelligence achievements.

Multinational consulting firms have always been known for their transformative power, and their first move into China is a tradition of "big surgery". Further, the core of change is to change creative ability and change drive ability, creative ability is inseparable from the deep understanding of the internal and external environment, multinational consulting companies despite a large number of local staff, but adhering to the company's so-called Orthodox consulting philosophy, in the creative process of the environment is often not seen, even if seen and often do not agree with , so its creativity is often outrageous, and in the transformation of the Chinese enterprises in the complexity of the internal ecology is often too dismissive, leading to change is based on their own brand strength, the flow of recklessness, incur the interests of the stubborn resistance of the injured, and finally nothing. Local consulting companies despite their own brand weakness, in the change power on the contrary, there is a stage, but then back, the local consulting company to really have the transformative power, must have a deep understanding of the value of consulting and relentless pursuit. In this respect, the consulting company selling the report, the pursuit of the input-output ratio, emphasis on fast-forward faster, there can be no act; The savage company of the self-employed platform, the mixed, personal ability capping, difficult to become a climate. Nowadays more and more international management consulting companies come to China to do business and seize the Chinese market. Incomplete statistics, currently in China's overseas consulting companies have Bai Baijia. The world's most famous consulting firms such as, Kearney, Accenture (Andersen), BCG, PWC (valuereporting), Roland Berger and Deloitte have all landed in China. Currently, two teams are active in China's consulting market. One is a local advisory body and the other is a world-renowned international advisory body. Both teams have advantages and disadvantages, the domestic local advisory bodies lack of sound consulting knowledge and technology management system, lack of practical experience of consultants, and the international advisory body is obviously not understand the Chinese market conditions.

In the face of a fully fledged foreign consulting industry, China's consulting industry is still quite "young". China's consulting industry market is still very imperfect, a considerable number of consulting companies to collect information means behind. In addition, at present, China's consulting industry talent shortage, the lack of specialized training institutions and familiar with the operation of complex personnel. At the same time consulting companies on the intellectual property of enterprises can not be very good protection, consulting programs are ultra-wide use, and even stolen by other enterprises. In order to accelerate the development of the local research consultancy industry, the relevant departments of the State should make operational laws and regulations as soon as possible, set up national trade associations and promote the value of the research consulting business. Different research and consulting companies should be based on their own expertise to locate the market, but also continue to expand business, increase the scope of advisory services, and improve the competitiveness of foreign research consulting companies.

Faced with the development of the Times, China's advisory bodies and consultants to cultivate and form their own core products, quickly improve the value and practicality of consulting technology. Advisory bodies and consultants should uphold the principle of "indomitable spirit" in consulting practice. The so-called "heaven", that is, consultants must understand and grasp the management theory and management practice of the forefront of the pulse; the so-called "site", that is, consultants must be in-depth enterprise practice, participate in enterprise management practices, in practice can really help enterprises solve practical problems, so it can also improve their consulting ability. In addition, to follow the "macro-grasp, meso-design, micro-operation" principle.
