Service outsourcing booming in Shanghai
Shanghai, the core city in the economic circle in the Yangtze River Delta with a population of 13.7 million, is on the heels of a global shift in the manufacturing industry and the diversion of the service industry since China begun its reform and opening-up policy 30 years ago.
As service outsourcing has been pushed to the central stage of world economy, driving the development of service outsourcing has become the major task for the Shanghai government to meet its strategic need for an economic structure oriented to a service economy.
Today’s Shanghai is a prosperous city full of vigor and with an abundance of development. In order to keep pace with the world economy, the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Shanghai municipal government have placed great emphasis on service outsourcing.
Suggestions on how to advance the service outsourcing in Shanghai was released by the local government in August 2006.
With the effort from the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce (SCOFCOM) and the guidance and full support from the Ministry of Commerce (SCOFCOM), the city’s service outsourcing is now booming fast.
In October 2006, Shanghai was granted the first group of service outsourcing bases by MOFCOM, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology.
A month later, Pudong New Area, Luwan district, Changning district and Caohejing High-Tech Park were authorized to be service outsourcing model areas.
Five service outsourcing parks accredited by the SMCC in March 2008 include Shanghai Zhangjiang Financial Information Outsourcing Center, Shanghai Zhangjiang Biomedicine Outsourcing Center, Shanghai Nanhui Biomedicine Outsourcing Center, Shanghai Information Technology Outsourcing Center and Shanghai Human Resources Outsourcing Center.
Today, the SCOFCOM has accredited Shanghai Pudong Software Park and Luwan Human Resources Outsourcing Park as Shanghai information technology service outsourcing and human resource outsourcing centers. An additional 40 key outsourcing firms have also been accredited.
Shanghai now is stretching its arms to welcome people all over the world, in which, 2010 World Expo will be held.
