BenQ unplugged its support for BenQ-Siemens in German.\u00a0 The\u00a0immediate victims are its\u00a03,000 employees in German, while its suppliers like Infineon are also facing stiff stock price declination.\u00a0 I’ve observed the news from Taiwanese media and USA’s, and found one thing very interesting:\u00a0 Taiwanese media focus their reports on the failure of BenQ’s strategy, emphasizing branding and channel intead of manufacturing, and K.Y. Lee’s depressed face in the press conference;\u00a0 U.S. media focus more on the reactions of BenQ-Siemens’ employees, people’s impression towards Siemens, and the impact of 3,000 job cuts in German.<\/p>\n
Reuters published an article<\/a> that compared BenQ Siemens with Sony Ericsson.\u00a0 One reason it raised was the unsuccessful team integration for BenQ and ex-Siemens team.\u00a0 It quoted\u00a0from Bent Wood, a consultant, that “BenQ Mobile’s German executives were exhausted from their trips to Taiwan as BenQ increasingly dominated the management.”\u00a0 I think his point of view is very interesting.\u00a0 It makes me recall another claim that US high-tech unemployment rate soars because jobs were\u00a0taken\u00a0to\u00a0India.<\/p>\n How\u00a0are these two related?\u00a0 BenQ German’s executives could not handle the situation because they traveled too much and were exhausted.\u00a0 The U.S. corporates moved jobs to India so that high-tech workers could not find a job in the U.S.\u00a0 It’s all greedy corporates’ fault and not the people’s.\u00a0 Let’s start over again\u00a0from the corporates’ view.\u00a0 BenQ German’s executives need to travel to Taiwan often because they can’t deal with the situation themselves.\u00a0 If they were able to deal with the situation, Siemens had no reason to give away this division and reimbursed BenQ for taking over it.\u00a0 (Boo!\u00a0That’s mean!)\u00a0 India’s low cost of operation is just one<\/em> reason that attacts the U.S. corporates.\u00a0 Had anyone surveyed the proportion of Indian engineers in the U.S. high-tech companies?\u00a0 There’s another bold reason that is seldom discussed.\u00a0 The differences of productivity and performance among individuals are extremely high for both high-tech workers and professional managers.\u00a0 One programmer can be ten times, even hundred times, more efficient than the other.\u00a0 Same thing for managers, you see the EPS values of companies right?\u00a0 Companies in good hands outperforms those who are not in a very exaggerating ratio.<\/p>\n All\u00a0professional managers or professional high-tech workers live in the Darwinism-capitalism world: the most adaptable survived.\u00a0 It’s not that important about which geographic region\u00a0we are or how innocent\u00a0we are.\u00a0 It’s more about how competitive\u00a0we are compared to the rest of the world<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BenQ unplugged its support for BenQ-Siemens in German.\u00a0 The\u00a0immediate victims are its\u00a03,000 employees in German, while its suppliers like Infineon are also facing stiff stock price declination.\u00a0 I’ve observed the news from Taiwanese media and USA’s, and found one thing very interesting:\u00a0 Taiwanese media focus their reports on the failure of BenQ’s strategy, emphasizing branding […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.cchsu.com\/art-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
