2007, "International Business outsourcing" this very mysterious concept began to appear frequently in China's foreign trade.
In the scale of more than 20,000 professional merchants of the 11th session of the Taiwan Strait Machinery and electronic commodities fair and Xiamen to Taiwan Import and Export Commodities Fair (hereinafter referred to as "Taiwan intersection"), the new term "International business outsourcing" has been discussed among people as they discuss how to cooperate and how to work together as an international market.
So what exactly is "international business outsourcing"? What new trends in the field of international trade are imminent or formal? What is the competitiveness of this new business model? ......
Business outsourcing, new blue sea in international outsourcing field
As China's first dedicated provider of global business outsourcing services to international trade, The Times first (China) Holdings Limited is at the forefront of market expansion.
In fact, people are not unfamiliar with the term "outsourcing", which is now well known and applied in our daily economic life.
The "outsourced" English outsourcing is one of the most popular buzzwords in the international business world, and it is recognized by international economists as a new business model for international economic development in the 21st century, which refers to the breakdown of business by various types of enterprises to different countries and regions, to improve efficiency, close to the market, Lower your investment and get the highest yield. This business in Europe and the United States has been more common, such as many companies to outsource different businesses, software outsourcing, human resources outsourcing, production outsourcing, design outsourcing, financial outsourcing, etc., is currently pulling the regional economy, the rise and development of India's software and services industry is a typical case of outsourcing economy.
In China, this area has just arisen, common outsourcing mode, such as "development outsourcing, human resource outsourcing, design outsourcing, call center outsourcing, legal outsourcing" and other models have been accepted by Chinese enterprises, showing a benign development posture, and committed to international trade in the field of "International Business Outsourcing" The emergence of this model has aroused wide concern of international buyers and Chinese suppliers.
Some experts pointed out that international business outsourcing services (International marketing outsourcing, international procurement outsourcing, international sales outsourcing) is a new branch of international service outsourcing industry, currently in the international still in a relatively blank state.
As an active advocate of the "International Business Outsourcing" model, the first view of the Times is very forward-looking, they believe that international business outsourcing is the business of business-to-business international trade to decompose and then outsourced, such as "International marketing outsourcing" is the Chinese small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises are not good at corporate image packaging, international promotion , international marketing, buyer relationship maintenance and other business outsourcing, and "International procurement outsourcing" is for overseas buyers need to spend a lot of manpower and material organization of the procurement business or activities outsourced to a dedicated company responsible for the enterprise itself will be more energy and time to focus on research and development, production, improve the overall efficiency. This model has been highly affirmed by industry experts.
The development trend of experts ' deconstruction of international commercial outsourcing
Some experts pointed out that the next global economic wave and China's economic development trend, may make international business outsourcing the emergence of a very broad market space, and accelerate the formation of this market:
Because of the rapid development of science and technology and the deepening of economic and cultural exchanges among countries, the world we are in is becoming more and more "flat", and economic globalization (globalization) has become an irreversible trend, and more and more countries have joined the ranks of international division of labor. With the increasingly sophisticated international division of labor and the growing sophistication of modern communication tools, more and more companies have opted to transfer their non-core, high-cost or inefficient projects to low-cost or efficient enterprises. In the field of international trade, more and more enterprises are beginning to realize the importance of reducing cost and improving competitiveness in operation, so they begin to seek outside specialized company to carry out some work in order to improve efficiency or reduce cost, and devote their main resources to the construction of core competence of enterprises.
China's manufacturing exports have entered a new stage of development after more than 10 years of development. At this stage, opportunities and challenges coexist, on the one hand, Chinese-made products have been universally recognized by international consumers, but on the other hand, the increase of trade friction and the appreciation of RMB exchange rate, export enterprises are facing more and more competitive pressure. In the new stage of development, the export-oriented enterprises need to change from the market strategy which only depends on the price war to become the strategy of accumulating higher competitive ability. In the new competitive environment, those who pay attention to the international image of enterprise specialization, pay attention to customer relationship maintenance, focus on the initiative of the supplier will be more than those who rely solely on price and OEM survival of enterprises have greater development space. Therefore, China's export-oriented enterprises really need a professional platform to build these business competitiveness. However, the existing Business-to-business E-commerce platform, trade fairs and procurement catalogs and other traditional international trade platform can not provide these personalized export-oriented enterprises can quickly improve the competitiveness of their enterprises.
Huge market space to provide sufficient power
The first target of the Times is the suppliers and buyers in the field of international trade, which mainly serve Chinese suppliers and foreign purchasers, and then provide international marketing and sales outsourcing services for foreign suppliers. In fact, in this new field, more and more enterprises have a clear understanding and put into action.
In the above "Taiwan intersection", the two trends show the direction of application. Taiwan exhibitors pay attention to "commercial outsourcing", mainland SMEs bullish "international marketing outsourcing."
Taiwanese businessmen believe that in the context of global economic integration, foreign buyers are also facing the challenges of customer demand, time-to-market, cost, quality, delivery speed, and operational risks. To maintain competition and reasonable profit level, reduce business risk, we should give full play to the functions and expertise of supplier partners, to the lowest cost, timely access to quality products, to ensure the smooth operation of the enterprise profits. But the choice of the supplier is a project work with long time period, difficulty, high risk and big cost. They would certainly like to see companies that specialize in sourcing in China for foreign buyers, they can be involved in supplier search and evaluation, trade negotiations, inspection, customs clearance, logistics, warehousing, insurance, claims and other aspects of the business are outsourced, can greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs, so happy to see it.
And from the current situation of mainland SMEs, the mainland's SME users over 40 million, accounting for 59% of GDP, most of the small and medium-sized enterprises in foreign trade talent and experience is obviously inadequate, some enterprises even the network is not used, put a lot of human and financial resources for international promotion and marketing is obviously unrealistic, Therefore, business-to-business service providers to mainland SMEs to provide business-to-business products and services must be solid, and not only to stay on the slogan. They need real service. The era of the first (Timesfirst) for the "International Marketing outsourcing Services" have the international marketing needs of a series of solutions for the Enterprise brand image electronic positioning, the use of Electronic direct mail e-postmail to the industry professional overseas buyers to promote, to assist suppliers to deal with inquiries and matchmaking transactions, Actively assist suppliers to maintain overseas customer relationship.
