Why choose foreign companies in the employment survey report of college students


College student employment: Why choose a foreign company?
For today's college students, people have no longer loved to use "the pride of the sky" to call them. The employment pressure formed during the transition period has made it impossible for college students to experience the joy of success in exams, and they have devoted themselves to another more fierce competition. For the future employment intentions, which type of enterprise is most favored by college students?
Beijing Century Blueprint Market Research Company recently conducted a survey of 313 students from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Normal University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Beijing University of International Business and Economics. Sample survey. According to the survey results, 63.9% of the respondents had the intention to enter the foreign company after graduation. Perhaps only a few people can get what they want, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the students. It can be seen that most foreign students are eager for foreign companies.
In order to enter a foreign company, what kind of preparations do you have to do in order to achieve your goals? The survey results show that they are most interested in preparing foreign languages ​​and computer knowledge; secondly, their own ability to deal with, and secondly, understanding the internal situation of foreign companies and the culture and customs of foreign countries. It is worth noting that “more emphasis on academic performance” is the least choice. Researchers believe that this at least indicates that the current university education is quite different from the actual work needs.

Which countries and regions have the most recognized corporate management style?

Foreign companies are a broad concept. The investment and management methods of different countries and regions in China are not the same.

Moreover, the degree of recognition with other countries and regions is quite different. The following are followed by Japan, Germany, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and France.

The researchers believe that college students' recognition of the management styles of Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Korean companies is low, indicating that Chinese companies still need to learn from Western companies in terms of how they manage. For foreign companies with long-term vision, investing in China is not only a fancy for this huge product market, but also a well-stocked talent market, such as Microsoft's investment of 8 billion to set up China Research Institute. Nowadays, many Chinese companies are not weak in the treatment and development opportunities for talents. Why can't they lead and can't keep the "Golden Phoenix"? Is there a lot of management factors in it?

Predicting the future social competition, the competition between national sovereignty will become increasingly weak, and the competition of multinational corporations will become more and more fierce. Multinational corporations are not only powerful in capital and technology, but also mature in management. They have irresistible charm for college students in China at this stage. Under the current difficult employment situation, the employment concept of college students is not simply to convince the education work to be realized, but to effectively improve the attractiveness of local enterprises. This requires a lot of tangible efforts. Such efforts cannot rely on such Business, or the hollow corporate philosophy embodied in the dialogue with the boss, but requires a long-term, solid enterprise system to complete.

As one of the interviewed Peking University students said during the investigation: “High salary is an important reason for attracting talents. At the same time, there are many training opportunities after entering foreign companies. At present, state-owned enterprises are not very prosperous, the development prospects are not great, and the necessary staff training is lacking. There are many interpersonal relationships. Of course, some measures in the country are conducive to attracting talents to state-owned enterprises, such as the household registration system, but in the current situation, this alone is not very attractive.” Researchers believe that college students are eager for better work. Environment, wages, but they are not afraid of competition, but are eager for fair and regular competition. Creating a fair competitive environment for outstanding talents is a “sycamore tree” that is better than simply improving the treatment, and will also attract a real golden phoenix. This is the biggest inspiration for college students' attitudes toward foreign companies.
