China's Three Most Influential Entrepreneurs   ( EntrepreViews)   China's 25 most influential entrepreneurs for 2004 was featured in the business magazine, Chinese Entrepreneur.  The top 3 are:   1.) Ren ZhengFei  , president of Huawei Technologies, by virtue of his company's brilliant technologies.   Huawei produces telecom and networking equipment and is seen as a formidable challenger to Cisco Systems.  It is now starting to spread its wings in international operations.   2.) Liu ChuanZhi , founder of Lenovo, which recently achieved publicity when it agreed to purchase IBM's global PC operations, and achieve international prominence as now one of the leading names in personal computers worldwide, as well as maintain its no. 1 position in the China market which is seen as the fastest growing and most promising segment.   3.) Zhang RuiMin, head of the Haier group, an increasingly prominent player in the international arena for  appliances.  Zhang was no. 1 in the same study in 2003.  It has been variously referred to as China's General Electric.   These 3 companies are also the among the most visible Chinese companies trying to tackle the international market, and building their brands.     6:21:05 PM     comment []   trackback []

Current IT Trends  ( techdrivenlife) According to Current Analysis, a San Diego based research firm, more notebooks were sold last year in the United States than desktops.  Notebooks now account for 53% of the total units sold last year, and moreover, 95% of them are already equipped with wireless. In another survey by Opinion Research, a majority of us are so hooked to email that 41% of people checked their email after they get up in the morning.  It was gathered that the average person has three e-mail accounts and spends about an hour every day reading, sending and replying to messages.  The average person checks their inbox at least 5 times a day, and even more for those with Blackberry and PDA mails.   Upto 60% of respondents admitted checking their inboxes even on vacations. This one news is even more extreme... a Wi-Fi wireless network access point, known as a hotspot, was installed by British Telecom in Reverend Keith Kimber's St John's Rectory church in the city of Cardiff.  If you want a break on the sermon, you can check your email ... or surf !  According to the reverend, the objective is to make the church the proper sanctuary for people -- even business people with notebooks and mobiles...  Talk about a techdrivenlife! A CIO Magazine poll noted that 15% of their respondents complain that it is harder to find key IT labor.  Even harder for big companies --- for those with over 5,000 employees, a higher 34.9% said IT labor was indeed hard to find.  The largest segment, about 54% plan to increase spending on security, 46.5% to increase spending on storage, while about 45% plan to increase spending on computer hardware.   5:01:29 PM     comment []   trackback []
