Manufacturing & Industrial
Since the early 1990s, global manufacturing activity has begun shifting to low cost manufacturing areas in Asia, especially China. This includes branded and contract manufacturing in areas of electronics, plastics, machinery, consumer products, automotive, chemical products and many more.
The business environment has become mature from the early joint ventures with Chinese partners to now wholly own foreign enterprises that set foot in China. Corporations continue to transfer their production capacity to China thus the demand for senior managers with China experience has increased dramatically from initially expatriates to now local nationals who are groomed within Multi National Corporations established in China.
The initial trend of only exporting products from China has taken a major turn recently. Many corporations have redirected their focus from foreign markets to the rapid growing China domestic markets. An insatiable demand for strong senior management in the area of sales and business development has brought the salary compensation levels of local Chinese managers up to international level; this has also taken the salary compensation levels of expatriates with China experience to a very competitive level.
