Value of Project Management Recognized in China In the "Internet Plus" Era
2015 World Economic Situation and Outlook issued by the United Nations in May predicts global economic growth rate to be 2.8%, showing a continued slowing trend with risk of recession; while it pointed out that East Asia continues to be world's fastest growing economies, with a 4.4% increase. The newly released Fortune Global 500 listlet us see the rapid growth of Chinese companies, with 106 entities on the list, ranking the second most in the world. On the other hand, Chinese enterprises also are facing complex challenges. The Generalized System of Preference (GSP) policy China has benefited for 15 years after joining WTO comes to an end in 2015, and China is obliged to allow foreign capital to enter all industries in China since July, including mining, transportation, steel, securities and finance, which arelong under strict government control. Plus the sweeping release of news policies of 'Internet+' and 'Made in China 2025', Chinese enterprises are on the turning point to embrace change and transform in order to maintain competitive edge.
