Web2.0 cost accounting of human resources

The last mentioned "the establishment of Web2.0 Web site needs to solve the problem", in fact, a little omission, is the cost of human resources accounting problems.

One of the characteristics of Web2.0 is that users provide content and reduce the cost of human resource editing, however, the cost is the most important issue to be discussed in this paper.

The current minimum wage in the United States is different in every state, and the federal government currently sets a minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, and the minimum hourly rate stipulated by New York State is $6.75. According to eight hours a day, 21 days a month to calculate, January wages are 900 U.S. dollars to 1000 U.S. dollars. This is the minimum wage in the United States.

The human cost of the website editors can not be calculated according to the minimum wage, because the editor needs at least a certain amount of mental work, while the wages of the United States probably many people can not imagine, such as last year's New York public transport system workers strike, the so-called treatment is too low, make the city paralyzed. But from the time it was reported that the average annual salary of subway drivers and other service workers was about 60,000 dollars, well above the minimum wage. More importantly, there are trade union organizations in the United States, and if employers ' wages are generally too low, unions will organise strikes against them. This is one of the main reasons why American human costs cannot be lowered.

The advantage of this high cost is that as long as the employment, the basic life problem is solved, and bring a lot of employment opportunities in the service industry, for the stability of the whole society has a certain role.

Americans from their point of view, also unable to understand the situation in China, the United States to see a clothing store in Shenzhen Street, a small space unexpectedly there are 5 or 6 employees, the Americans will be surprised to ask how to hire so many people can make money? The truth is that in China, employing so many people can make money, because labor costs are too cheap. Shenzhen's minimum wage is only 700 yuan a month, almost 10 times times lower than abroad, and there is no trade union, at the same time there is a large number of unemployed people, the working class is absolutely weak, there is no room for bargaining with the management, if you do not accept such a low wage, only to leave, there are a large number of people waiting for this job Even for ordinary website editors, the one-month salary may be only 1000 to 2000 yuan, and its cost is quite low.

Here we can make a comparison, McDonald's in the United States than do Web2.0 site, in China to eat McDonald's, we may find a strange phenomenon, that is, after the foreigners eat McDonald's, will take the initiative to put the plate to the recycling department, and the Chinese people are directly away, let the waiter to clean up. This is actually a habit of the problem, because of the problem of human costs, foreigners in foreign eat accustomed to the buffet of McDonald's, they do not pack dinner plate, there is no waiter to clean up, so the habit of their own service. For some foreign Web2.0 sites, such as del.icio.us or Digg, foreigners are also very diligent to participate in and submit content, this is probably the same truth. And China is not the same, the human cost is very low, so in China, McDonald's in China can hire a lot of waiters to enhance competitiveness, not to do so, the Chinese counterparts will not be competitive, so the Chinese have been spoiled, know even if they finished eating not to clean the plate, the waiter will soon come to clean up. For China's web site is also the case, large-scale portal employs a large number of Web site editors, can use very fast speed to update quality content, so the Chinese netizens also understand that even if they do not submit, not to Digg, there will naturally be a large number of excellent content to provide themselves, so over time, China's web-picking or Digg-type sites can not be compared with foreign similar sites, which is the main reason, I am afraid that the Web2.0 of human resources costs.

Therefore, copying the United States Web site model, we need to combine the actual situation in China. There are some things that could not be done in the United States, which could be done in China, the Chinese model of the site needs to combine the actual situation in China, believe that the successful enterprises in China is also a profound understanding of these issues. Some good companies in the United States, if they want to enter the Chinese market, we need to carefully study the differences in the Chinese market, combined with the actual situation in China to create Chinese-style services, McDonald's, KFC, and Wal-Mart companies are doing very well.
