Study on the express industry giant DHL and IHS company in the world, develop international market business of small and medium enterprises have higher probability of success than a times development only in the domestic market of similar enterprises
The infrastructure, high tariffs and international trade information gap become a stumbling block to the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises development
Chinese small and medium enterprises has a very high degree of internationalization of business
Global international express leader DHL and well-known market research agency IHS jointly issued a research report, international trade and cooperation has become an important driving force for small and medium enterprises successful, this result is an extensive and in-depth research based on recent development.
Based on the analysis of macroeconomic and a member of the G7 (the United States, Japan, China, Germany, France, Britain, Canada and Italy) as well as the BRICs (i.e. BRICM, including: Brazil, Russia, India, China and Mexico) of 410 small and medium enterprises director for questionnaire survey, conducted business in the international market for small and medium enterprise than the success probability of the same type enterprises only based on local development twice as high as the. In an investigation of the small and medium enterprises, 26% companies because of their international trade activities significantly beyond the market average, compared to only in the local development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the ratio is only 13%. In the study of small and medium enterprises that taking the road to international development not only open up to new market channel, more important is to help the enterprise to obtain overseas technology and business know-how, diversified and abundant products and services.
This study also showed that DHL and IHS, with the accelerated process of globalization as well as the small scale enterprise significant attention to international market, founded nearly five years of small and medium enterprises easier to carry out business in the international market than the same type of business history longer development period, despite their business is relatively short. Notable is, although the uncertainty of the economic environment in the past three years, the majority of performance is better than the market average of small and medium enterprises said, the next three years to increase exports.
However, the report shows, insufficiency of commercial infrastructure is reducing efficiency, limiting the competitiveness of enterprises. Compared to large companies with more resources, small and medium enterprises have to spend more effort to overcome these difficulties and challenges. Among them, in international trade, the most concern is the lack of small and medium-sized enterprises, the available foreign market information of high tariffs, set up contact with foreign partners and has a customer base overseas difficulties. In the survey, the majority of better performance of small and medium-sized enterprises with more than 50 employees, which further highlights the importance of resources in the way of overcoming the international growth of.
Reports an interesting finding is that, in the degree of internationalization of business in the developed countries, the small and medium enterprises lag behind the emerging market for small and medium enterprises. The developed countries are largely dependent on the per capita consumption is higher than that of emerging market advantages, the development of international business of small and medium-sized enterprises the status quo inspired including China, BRICs members. At the same time, this also indicates that, along with the international economic center of gravity will inevitably shift, a member of the G7 of small and medium-sized enterprises are facing severe challenges in the development of the international business. It is important, compared to the G7 member of the similar enterprises, the BRICs SMEs more positive influence on logistics play in international operations, indicates that they are more rely on the efficient transportation and customs clearance procedures to overcome the backward infrastructure constraints, but also the material flow service as a difference in their business the competitive advantage of the.
DHL FedEx Asia-Pacific CEO Xu Kewei said: "compared to developed economies, developing countries have nearly two times of small and medium enterprises is the" international enterprise innate ", will carry out international business was founded in five years. These companies to maximize the use of low cost information technology and efficient logistics services, thereby expanding trade and to participate in international competition. International trade not only provides a new product and service for the small and medium-sized enterprises, the more open learning the latest international innovation and practice of doors for them, promote their internal operations and process optimization, and improve the competitiveness in the local market."
"In the investigation of the local area in China, India and the Japan Inc, we see a very closely with business performance improvement and cross-border trade association. As a global logistics provider, we have 270000 small and medium enterprise customers in the Asia-Pacific region. Has an important value in the development of international trade of small enterprises. We will continue to customize our services and solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises, power in the Asia-Pacific region growth, further improve their competitiveness in global markets."
DHL and HIS analysis of the group of seven in the report (G7) as well as the BRICs (BRICM) business environment relative strength. Main indicators of national competitiveness evaluation contains seven dimensions: efficiency, international activities, R & D and innovation, institutions, infrastructure, the macroeconomic environment and the education and training. Especially benefit from countries in the macroeconomic environment, development and innovation competitiveness, average level of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises from the performance was better than the BRICs members. At the same time, compared to the other members of the BRICs, China international market for small and medium enterprises activity come out in front. It is worth mentioning that, two dimensions of international activities and the macro economic environment, China even significantly beyond the group of seven (G7) average members.
DHL managing director and chairman of DHL Asia-Pacific executive vice president Mr. Wu Dongming said: "in the global economy under the background of Chinese economy, still achieved sustained growth, for small and medium enterprises" going out "to create a good environment. As China's oldest, most experienced international express leading enterprises, in the past 26 years, our domestic customers hand in hand 110000, witnessed the rapid development of China in the international market."
"Important value more and more small and medium enterprises saw opportunities brought international trade activities and improve logistics efficiency brought by the. Small and medium-sized enterprises is an important part of our customers. We will continue to improve service quality, fine requires close to the customer, help them to continue winning international business."
Finally, we see, although the small and medium-sized enterprises have made enormous contribution to employment and economic development in different countries, but on the small and medium-sized enterprise reliably and continuously updated information is still lacking. IHS managing director Dick Buttigieg said: "the lack of development of this information is limited to small and medium-sized enterprises, so that they cannot rely on reliable information and data to carry out business activities, or to express their point of view. In this regard, policy makers and large enterprises obviously have the opportunity to support the work of the improvement, in order to create more employment opportunities, commercial value, at the same time solutions through the development of personalized help the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in increased export earnings."
