Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Shenzhen is a walled factory city of 270,000 Hon Hai (Foxconn) employees. They have everything from a hospital, fire station, swimming pool, athletic field a separate area for the basketball courts and even a bookstore (see pictures below). Besides Apple iPods and iPhones, Hon Hai workers/residents make Dell and Hewlett Packard PCs, Motorola and Nokia cell phones, Sony PlayStation 2 and PSP and the Nintendo Wii. It’s a nice place to live and all, but with no Starbucks (you’ll have to go outside the walls), I don’t think it’s the place for me. But imagine being young and just out of college and not knowing exactly what to do with your life. A walled-in community of 270,000 young factory workers (with approximately 135,000 of those wearing a skirt, or at least a tight blouse (see pictures below) might not sound too bad at all.

    Tech Support Outsourcing Says:

    Outsourcing is an exceptional way to capitalize in on your core concerns in today’s business world. :d With the ever growing unsuitability of our economy. :o One must come to the conclusion and determine if business process outsourcing is for their business or not. :-?

    What if it was your only option? The banks have been given a financial bailout, however what about the rest of the suffering business economy in general? Literally a year worth of downward upside down stock portfolio’s. Trillions of $$ Dollars were lost and sure not a result of outsourcing.

    I think we need to diversify ourselves and become pioneers of the future together rather than continuing to be adverse!
