Venue: Nanjing, China
Theme: Global Outsourcing's Role in Promoting the Optimum Allocation of Global Resources during the Great Economic Transformation

Background

Global outsourcing is an important means to increase the synthesized economic strength of each country and to enhance the competitiveness and brand recognition of global main-stream companies. Also, global outsourcing acts as a significant method for multinational companies to reduce cost as well as operating risks and to overcome the current economic crisis. Harvard Business Review has long asserted that "Outsourcing is one of the most important management ideas and practices since the past 75 years". In no more than 20 years since its forming, global service outsourcing has developed with an astonishing speed and has become one of the most important issues that require necessary attention from governments and companies all over the world.

Nowadays, economic cooperation between countries has expanded from trade cooperation and investment cooperation to a new field of outsourcing cooperation. No matter to outsourcers or contractors, outsourcing countries or contract countries, outsourcing is of the same significance. Outsourcing is not merely a passive move under the external pressure to reduce cost; it is also an active strategy for companies to respond to the quickly changing international market—Through outsourcing, outsourcers can have the global resources optimally integrated and extend companies' business chain so as to realize hyper normal development.

Our special reminding goes to developing countries: while putting a premium on contracting, they should also encourage mature industries or mature companies to outsource, only by which can outsourcing and contracting be fully integrated and can the harmonious development of the service industry with reduced international conflict be possible. The combination of contracting and outsourcing, manufacturing outsourcing and service outsourcing by global outsourcing as well as by revolutionary adjustment of cooperate management and industrial integration is a vital part to actively promote global economic transformation.
