Intellect outsourcing, the new trend in the global job market

Wake up in a fine morning, make a cup of coffee leisurely, open the laptop, play some music and then handle mails for your business, all these scenes are the ideal leisure life of a white collar as we imagine. But everyone can own this mode of life if we add some notations to every part of it. The bed which can enable you to wake up naturally is from Indonesia because they produce world-class rattan furniture. The coffee machine comes from Germany and the Blue Mountain coffee beans are cultivated on the mountains in Jamaica with an elevation of 1,800 meters. The laptop and music come from America because it is the most powerful computer maker and the most popular bands are there. The mails may come from Japan, France or Europe. The benefit of globalised economy lies in the fact that we can own and use all kinds of stuffs from every corner of the world and assimilate a sense of aesthetics and values. Herein this trend, as internet popularity and the rise of transnational mergers and acquisitions, the benefits that the global village has brought to us may form a brand new work and life style.

In the 21st century, what is the major trend of global job market? Mr.Daniel H.Pink, the former vice president Gore’s appointed writer and trend analyst predicted in his book A Whole New Mind that 3.3 million job opportunities and 136 billion dollars of salary would go to India, China and Russia, while 1.2 million job opportunities would drain away from Europe.

Mr.Daniel H.Pink’s prediction is not unreasonable, human resources are allocated in a faster pace as the result of globalization of economy and high-tech motivated communication. As the global economic engine, Asia becomes the first beneficiary under this trend for its cheap labors. Take India for example, they earned 40 billion US dollars from Europe and the United States on the internet intellect outsourcing and its related industries in 2006, taking up 5.2% its GDP.

Internet intellect outsourcing is just emerging in China and the Medias usually call this kind of service providers as Weike. Weikes are usually those people who own certain kind of knowledge and skill, and are eager to gain success as well as turning their intellectual power to wealth. So far there are hundreds of websites for Weikes, such as “Baidu Knowledge” and “Sina Questions”. They are all hosted by large search engines with a mechanism of credits as incentive. “Mission China” is also a professional Weike website, in which Weikes can earn themselves a certain amount of money if their ideas are adopted by the mission suppliers.

However, with the backdrop of global distribution of human resources, China’s Weikes are not satisfied with the current restricted situation and have begun to seek ways to address the regional issues during the process of the international labor transportation. On 12th, September, 2007, Mission China verified its strategic corporation with myTino, a global professional website for Weike. MyTino undertakes tasks from all around the world, such as industrial design, cartoon images, process software, business symbols and etc. The major purpose of the international mission channel built by Mission China and myTino is to localize the tasks from Europe and America, which enable the Chinese Weikes who know little about English to do outsourcing business with those countries. This corporation undoubtedly sounds exciting and promising.

It is predicted that in the near future single Weike will be elbowed out of the market as the competition is getting sharp. Working studios with more professional divisions of labors will become the mainstream, and this will also give rise to small and medium enterprises to engage in intellect services. As a result for sure, it will be the main business model for the brainworkers to receive intellect outsourcing tasks from all over the world. By that time, the 4.5 million job opportunities from Europe and the United States will become the bidding objects for the domestic Weikes.

Numerous millionaires have been created throughout the successful software outsourcing industry in India, and now the chance is presented to China, no more waiting! If you want to lead a life as that depicted at the beginning of this article, all you need to do is to be a Weike with a little originality and time.
