MOORE's LAW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law Even in the more remote community of Kaili the progress is tremendous. Of course, sometimes a person "cannot see the forest for the trees" when immersed in the situation.

Every year the dazzling statistics about the economic growth are unmatched anyelse parts of the world. hey, Although surrounded by the trees, you still have the ability to see the forest,as long as you can choose a high standing position and have a open vision.

China does have a shortage of top-level talents.In 2004, only about 14 percent of China's college-aged population was in school up from 7 percent in 1995. And the Chinese leadership's goal is to raise that number to 25 to 30 percent by 2020. By comparison, more than one third of college-aged Americans are in universities.

Griz326 might only encounter with the high society of well-educated Chinese. The scarcity of high-level talents is China's national condition.

My company is expanding its presence in China and is having no difficulty finding top talent. We started by picking from only China's top universities. As we became comfortable, we broadened the range of universities we recruit from and just last week company leaders announced that we will further broaden the universities from which we choose and expand our operations even further.

There does not appear to be a shortage of top talent for us and we are a big software company. We are very selective in hiring.

Attention: Griz326, the keywords are "BIG" "Software". The company you work engages in Hi-tech Industry. China has not been lapsed into "Zero-inventory of Top talents".

"How to handle this problem is still a crux. Many trials have been proved to be futile. In the past decades, business management schools emerged like the bamboo after the rain. The talents gap hasn't yet been shortened.
So, establishing so-called business management school is not good way out for China."

I was told by my colleagues that China has a powerhouse of talents which fueled its robust economic growth, but I never thought about the question: how many top-notch talents does China have?

Yes,Leonardo, I have heard that Chinese people prefer attending business school to acquire managerial skills. The problem is that Chinese business schools are still in early infancy. The managerial skills taught in these business schools lack of the value of application. China lack good business schools. If China has its own "Harvard Business School", more managerial talents will emerge.

guest, top-notch talents catering for China, i think, are top-tech, international finance/accounting, international economical/trade law, etc, NOT GENERAL ARTS - MBA. I hear chinese with MBA arthorized by UK, US etc are. not that welcom/popular in Chinese job mkt. MBA with 8-12 courses or even less or FAKE is no way for those who want to get short-cut to obtain mgt skills!!!

Marrie, partly you are right for saying that numerous Chinese take attending MBA courses as a shortcut to obtain mgt skills, but I am uncertain if the Chinese with MBA arthorized by UK, US etc are. not that welcome/popular in Chinese job mkt. I heard that Chinese employers attached much importance to degree when they recruited the new employees.
