Eli Goldratt in China
From Eli Goldratt Unplugged, via Clarke Ching:
I work a lot in China. You know the biggest problem in China is right now? Getting people – for the 2nd shift. Can you imagine not enough people in China? Salaries are now skyrocketing. Statistics say that in 2004 salaries rose by 24%. When they are finalized in 2005, it will be much higher. Have you been in Shanghai, for example? You may have had images like I had of rickshaws and bicycles – No! This is a western town. With the best cars everywhere, and fewer bicycles than in Holland. I sent an assistant to go and look in some shops for bargains. She said, “Sorry Eli, the prices are the same as in Amsterdam.”
That's right! Eli Goldratt has an assistant that he sends out shopping. Wish I had one of those.
(Actually, great interview. Worth a read.)
