At present, the international financial turmoil has seriously affected the machinery manufacturing industry worldwide. For example, in the long-served metal cutting tool manufacturing industry, Sandvik Tools will cut about 10% of its employees worldwide, and Kennametal Co., Ltd. announced a layoff ratio of 8.6%. There are many small tool manufacturers in foreign countries. Whether they can withstand the impact of the financial crisis is also worthy of attention. Once they are forced to go bankrupt, they will bring unemployment to many industry talents. Many of these talents are experienced, including business management, technology development, application services, and sales operations.
The author believes that this is an excellent opportunity for us to absorb foreign industry talents, introduce advanced management methods and management experience of foreign tool manufacturing industries, help our enterprises improve their management level, and then move toward international standards.
In the past two years, the author once saw that a foreign company producing micro-tools could not meet the market demand for its production capacity, so he found a well-known domestic tool manufacturer to do OEM work. Some managers of foreign manufacturers have bluntly stated that the production conditions of well-known domestic manufacturers are not lower than them, and they can even be said to be superior to their Chinese factories in general. However, domestic manufacturers cannot use their own brands to sell more and need to do OEM work for them. In addition to brand and raw material factors, the differences in sales and service concepts are also important reasons. There are many Chinese employees and domestic employees of foreign manufacturers who are even formerly colleagues. There is no big difference in their ability. However, foreign manufacturers rely on foreign advanced experience in the management of various aspects, and are led by foreign managers. With help and words and deeds, many Chinese employees of foreign manufacturers have accepted their ideas and methods more or less, and have seen the role played in actual production and management.
The crisis will also bring the industry to reshuffle, and companies that can survive the financial crisis will win more opportunities after the crisis. The author believes that under the impact of the financial crisis, some Chinese employees of foreigners and foreign companies who also have advanced management concepts and advanced management methods will also be unemployed or face unemployment. If our domestic enterprises can start from the long-term development strategy, The opportunity to introduce such talents, help to drive the growth of our own production management and sales management, financial management, market and brand management, and the gap between foreign companies and emerging foreign companies should be significantly reduced after the crisis. The pace of development of international tool companies keeps pace with the development trend of the international tool industry.
Some people say that managers and even senior executives of foreign companies can be attracted to domestic companies? The author's answer is yes. We saw Mr. Tang Jun, who was the president of Microsoft China, and Mr. Wei Zhe, who once served as the president of B&Q China. After leaving the position of the president of China, they chose to continue their career as a professional manager. . Challenges, the ability to develop your own expertise, the realization of your own dreams, and the shared vision and vision of investors are the main reasons why foreign-invested managers can leave foreign companies and work for domestic companies. If our company is really eager to introduce talents from foreign companies to realize our own dreams, why not create conditions, open our arms, and warmly welcome them?
