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.

The park is expected to strengthen the ties between companies in Dalian, the China’s information technology outsourcing hub and clients in Japan. What is more, the Dalian Vice-Mayor Dai Yulin hopes the park can help cut costs of companies in Dalian when they expand their presence in Japan.

More than 800 companies and 70,000 people work in the IT outsourcing industry in Dalian. Software exports from the city are forecast to exceed $1billion this year.

Dalian is developing fast with the aim of booming its outsourcing for information technology. So far there have been over 20 Dalian companies setting up their offices in Japan. By mid-November, over 35 companies were ready to move into the park.

According to Dai, Dalian tends to open similar IT parks in other Western countries as the global crisis could create new opportunities for the city.

Based on a survey conducted by market research firm IDC last year, Dalian is able to become a better destination of global delivery than Beijing and Shanghai.

Maybe we are familiar with the notion of G7 and G8, even G77. However, it might be the first time for the G20 to appear on the stage of the world political and economical stage. Several years ago, some experts pointed out a definition called BRICs, representing Brasilia, Russia, India and China, which are fast developing economies. Similarly, the members of the G20 are not only from the west world, but also including Argentine, Egypt, Saudi Arabic and Mexico, which play very essential roles in the global economy today and future.

Financial tsunami is not only a tragedy for the developed countries and new industrialized countries. The foreign trades of the developing countries and the employment rates of the less-developing countries will experience the strike as well. Obviously, it is the high time for the world to cooperate to conquer the setbacks. Especially, the promising economies in G20, which would replace the great power in the following 50 years, should take more responsibilities to survive the world economy and rebuild the economy system. China has decided spend 4,000 billion RMB to stimulate domestic demands and consuming. Meanwhile, the government financial investment in infrastructures and other regions will develop more job opportunities. As is known to all, China has the largest population and third largest economies. Decisions by Chinese government will impact deep influence to the world economy.

In history, the Netherlands, Spain and the Great Britain used to be the great powers. But as the time goes by, they have been edged out by the new great powers for many reasons. Thus, we may assert that there are opportunities and challenges lying on the roads for the G20 to establish the multi-polar world.

APEC summit is coming. China, Russia and other new economies will still be positively in the summit and contribute more for rescuing the world from the severe winter.

The Chengdu municipal government has assigned software and service outsourcing to develop strategic industries. It has an outsourcing leadership group headed by the mayor, who is also in charge of direct meetings in the sector.

Personnel working in service outsourcing industry will be more than 200,000, according to the plan.

Over there, Tianfu Software Park, Software Incubation Park and ZTE Communication Park already have more than 200 software enterprises from home and abroad, with IBM, SAP, NEC, Nokia and Alcatel included, which are all the world-famous software and service companies.

However, Chengdu has further goals in its development. With more than 60 digital entertainment companies making games for networks, cellphones, video play, as well as operating and testing them, Chengdu is expected to become the fourth research and development centre for 3G cellphone technology and equipment along with Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. With one of the world’s three top game machines—Microsoft’s Xbox having its first video game development centre in Chengdu, it is expected to be the third-largest large-scale game developer in China after Shanghai and Beijing.

Michael Laphen, chairman and chief executive officer of CSC, said in order to go through the financial crisis, more companies have to outsource their business in pursuing of lower costs, thus creating more opportunities for outsourcing companies.
