Title: State-owned enterprises and central enterprises take the lead in outsourcing, is it a good way to improve quality and efficiency or "play with fire"?
Recently, a news that "state-owned enterprises and central enterprises should take the lead in using outsourcing" has sparked heated discussions in the community. Some people applauded, believing that this was a "sharp weapon" to enhance competitiveness; Others, however, are skeptical, fearing that it will introduce more management risks. As the mainstay of the national economy, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises take the lead in raising the banner of outsourcing, which is by no means a trivial matter. So, is this change the icing on the cake or "playing with fire"?
From the perspective of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the implementation of outsourcing is undoubtedly a top priority for state-owned enterprises and central enterprises. In the face of uncertainties such as the new crown epidemic and the Sino-US trade war, many enterprises are facing severe challenges such as declining efficiency and rising costs.
According to authoritative statistics, the total operating income of state-owned enterprises in 2022 will drop by 5% year-on-year, and the total profit will plummet by 15%.
In this context, by divesting non-core businesses and introducing market-oriented competition, enterprises can undoubtedly focus more on their main business and stimulate endogenous power. International experience shows that outsourcing is conducive to enterprises to become better and stronger, and form the advantages of the system and mechanism of "traveling lightly".
But we also need to see that outsourcing is no panacea. For state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, many businesses are related to the lifeline of the economy and people's livelihood and well-being, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Once the outsourcing is improper, it will affect the corporate image at least and may cause irreparable losses at worst. A certain state-owned enterprise blindly reduced its personnel, resulting in frequent production accidents, and the lesson is not profound.
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious and not careless when dealing with outsourcing. The key is to achieve overall planning and find the right balance between innovating mechanisms and preventing risks.
Specifically, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises should grasp the "degree" of outsourcing. First of all, we must adhere to strategic guidance and scientific planning.
For core businesses involving the national economy, people's livelihood and national security, it is necessary to consider carefully and cannot simply outsource. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the control of the whole process and put outsourcing on the track of rule of law and standardization.
Through the establishment of a professional and efficient procurement management platform, the introduction of market-oriented competition mechanism, improve the scientific and transparent outsourcing decision-making. Thirdly, it is necessary to strengthen performance evaluation and risk control, establish a pragmatic and effective process supervision mechanism, benchmark market best practices, and prevent problems before they occur.
Outsourcing is the "breakthrough" of state-owned enterprise reform, but it is by no means a "master key". The core competitiveness of enterprises must be improved by their own innovation and development.
On the new track, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises should base themselves on their own endowments, work hard to improve their internal skills, gnaw "hard bones" and wade into "deep water areas" in key core technologies, and continuously enhance their development momentum.
Only by cultivating both inside and outside, and refining the true ability in innovation-driven, can we cultivate opportunities in adversity, open a new situation in the changing situation, respond to "change" with "change", and cut waves in the wind and waves.
What do you think about this outsourcing revolution? How to find the best balance between reducing costs and increasing efficiency and preventing risks? What reform paths do you think SOEs and central SOEs can explore?
