I. Business investment involves various different areas and aspects.
In China, actively develop foreign investment has become an effective way to promote local economic development in provinces, cities and other areas. For this reason, many places have set up professional investment institutions, like investment promotion bureau. But in fact, business is an inter-departmental task; only a sector can not complete the whole business investment process, and the business investment involves various aspects. For example: before a certain investment activity, the business investment sector should make pre-investment scheme first, determine the investment list of project items. However, the determining of the list items must be consistent with the state’s industrial policies and local industrial development plans. The process of business investment, at the same time, is propagandizing ourselves and seeking cooperation partners. Besides, business investment activities involve the propaganda department’s work. In the latter part of business investment activities, the Customs, border inspection, industrial and business, fire protection, environmental protection, public health and disease prevention, labor security and other departments will be involved in the project approval procedures. Some projects which need special requirements may involve more departments and aspects. This shows that business investment is not an isolated activity that only a separate department can complete; it involves a broad range of sectors and aspects, and this is also one of the features that business investment is different from other activities.
II. Business investment is all interrelated whole.
Although business investment work involves extensive aspects and various contacts, its direction and purpose are very clear. Business investment is use positive ways to attract foreign capital, technology, managerial expertise and other production factors to promote regional economic development. Use “purpose” and “direction” as the main line, we can link with the work of other departments and aspects, so that other departments can work together purposefully around the main line. Through the main line of business investment’s “purpose”, we can link each independent and isolated department and various aspects of work into an interrelated and mutually collectivity. In this collectivity, if all the sectors work jointly, it will promote business investment towards a favorable destination. Conversely, if each department goes in its own way in this collectivity, certainly it is not conducive to the achievement of business investment objective, and the general and overall interests will be affected by the conflict of the individual and local interest. Therefore, we should look business investment as an interrelated collectivity and pay new attention.
III. Business investment needs planning and coordinating.
In an essential sense, business investment has long time span, involves broad department and aspects. For a country, region or unit, business investment is a systematic project which may affect the entire business. To make this large and complex system operate orderly and achieve the desired goals, first, we need plan the business investment activities. Only based on thoroughly, systematically and scientific planning, this business investment can be called a successful business investment. If we do not plan in advance, only on the negotiating table to do the outburst work and catch whatever we see; this will make business investment become very passive, and we can not obtain the desired results. The link associated with planning is coordinate, if plan business investment is to gain a satisfactory result, then, coordinate business investment is to gain a more satisfactory result. Strictly speaking, the signing of the contract is not the end of the process of investment; only when two or more parties have achieved their respective interests and reasonable returns, business investment can be said to have a successful result. Therefore, to complete a business investment activity in a strict sense needs coordination and support from other related departments. In real work, because of different specialized divisions among departments, each department often much focus on their own duties and goes its own way in the process of business investment. To reunify and coordinate the work of various independent departments so that they work together on the common goal of business investment, we must coordinate business investment. Only we perform the coordination of business investment well, we can make all sectors work in a united and overall situation and avoid shifting and buck-passing.
IV. The abilities of planning determine the size of a successful business investment.
The size of a successful business investment depends on policies and regulations, environments, planning and a variety of factors, among which the abilities of planning is a crucial factor. If we are willing to make greater efforts on the planning, make up a more thoroughly and detailed business investment plans and strategies, we can avoid blindness and randomness in business investment activities and achieve effective and efficient results. The greater efforts we make in planning, the better business investment results we achieve; if we reluctant to make efforts in planning, business investment results can not be guaranteed. |
