As I am sure you are aware, not only is Dalian a focal point (particularly to the Koreans and Japanese), there are also initiatives under way in, for example, Nanjing, Guanzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu and other locations.<BR/><BR/>Given the nature of the global outsourcing industry, with the probably exception of Korea and Japan, English language competence is a pre-requisite, and there is naturally also a concurrent focus on further improving English language skills. <BR/><BR/>Some global 5000 companies have now incorporated China into their BPO and outsourcing operations, and I suspect more will follow, in part also to gain experience of the China market.<BR/><BR/>You ask about the applicability of this all to the Irish software sector: my perception is that to the extent that outsourcing and BPO is occuring in Ireland, it tends to be focussed on service suppliers in central and eastern Europe, and of course India.chris horn @chrisjhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562424333768625107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671796277525081500.post-80601638418818962222007-05-12T02:17:00.000+01:002007-05-12T02:17:00.000+01:00Dear Mr Horn, your notes on software industries in...Dear Mr Horn, your notes on software industries in Ireland and China is very much interested for me.<BR/>How do you see the Chinese outsourcing, BPO services?<BR/>Do you think it is viable for the Irish software sector?<BR/>Hope to hearing from you.<BR/>Kraken YU.<BR/>Cornerstone International,<BR/>NoveUCD, Dublin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016548729904027233noreply@blogger.com
