TOSHIBA SOURCING LCD TV PARTS FROM TAIWAN, WANTS TO PUT THING UNDER WRAP
2008-05-30 22:36:00
Toshiba has become the first Japanese maker to outsource production of its LCD panels, from Taiwan. The deal is on from last February, but the news has only broken out now. Fishy, no? Toshiba has formally (and finally) acknowledged the fact it is outsourcing LCD panels from Taiwan but has rejected to name the contractor. So, first it did not want to inform the whole world about the outsourcing thing, and now it is hiding the contractor's name as well. Hmm….may be to keep the whole world to keep faith in its products.    The sourcing parts clad television sets will hit the US market first and gauging the response the management will roll out its global plan further. Toshiba also is planning a new portable video player during 2010. Don't have time to visit the blog often? Let me send you outsourcing news, views, career tips, analysis, joke, humor, even bitching of the outsourcing world as they are publsihed in BPOTiger. You may subscribe here.

SOURCING: EXPLORE ALL WAYS
2008-05-27 20:12:00
In sourcing or in finding candidates for a position, limiting yourself is like signing your own death certificate. Never, ever do this in sourcing because it will just defy your goal which is to have a rich resource of candidates in the most managed ways possible.This is the reason why I entitled my blog entry as such. In sourcing, you should be creative as possible if ever the "traditonal" way does not have a quality outcome. These belonging to the traditional way includes the ads (online or newspaper), word of mouth, referrals, and such. There are other alternatives like organizing a job fair in unlikely places which you think could yield additional turn-out. Thinking out of the box would lead you in exploring another opportunity that could be worthwhile for your company and your HR future.  Image source: Stockxpert

How To Get Items To Sell On eBay - 3 Item Sourcing Secrets
2008-04-20 19:22:00
If you are preparing to create an additional income stream with online auctions, you will probably want to know how to get items to sell on eBay. More importantly, you'll want to know how you can find unique and in-demand items you can resell for a nice profit. If that's the case, read on to discover three ways to source great products quickly and easily.Method #1: Offline Auction ArbitrageAlthough eBay has become a huge worldwide market where you can find many brand-new items, there is still a large market for traditional antiques and collectibles. Going to small local offline auctions and purchasing in-demand items at a low price and then getting a much higher price for them by offering them for bid to the world-wide audience on eBay is still an excellent business model.The key here is to know your market very well. You need to make certain that the price difference between what you can pick items up for at offline auctions and what you can get for them offering them on eBay all...

Crowd-Sourcing a Book From Blogs
2008-04-08 19:51:00
Somehow, the idea of generating whole books from the social web just intrigues me. Last year, I got interested in the Wikinovel project, which actually does seemed to have produced a fairly palatable, if disjointed, piece. I guess it interests me for the same reason that watching an artificial life simulator is fun. Will it be gibberish, or will the thousand monkeys at typewriters produce "Inflexible Logic" this time? Now there's a new experiment which I've just stumbled upon, this time with the possibility of having a more marketable outcome. Meet the Yearblook project. The idea here, as far as I can parse it, is to have the crowd (you're soaking in it) submit and vote up blog posts, and at the end of the year publish a book of blogs - a "blook"? I guess they'll do it through either a vanity press or a Lulu.com account or something. The voting mechanism reminds me of Digg, which makes me shudder in dread, because you only have to see Digg's front page to grasp what that crow...

Top 7 Car Insurance Rules That Should Be Applied When Sourcing Affordable C
2008-03-26 04:19:00
1. Determine the Coverage that will Best Protect your RisksBear in mind that over 50% of the total cost of your car insurance premium is to cover personal liability. This is personal liability for you and/or your passengers and third parties. The other 50% is the damage or loss to the vehicle. Bear in mind though because the liability risk and costs are much higher you should make sure you look carefully at this area.2. Source lots of QuotesThere are many car insurers competing for business so the more car insurance online quotes you source the cheaper premium you will get. Ask your relatives, friends and neighbors what they pay for auto insurance. You may be surprised to find that they are getting insurance much cheaper than you are. Also, by sourcing car insurance online quotes you can source quotes more quickly than by telephone or in person.3. Demand Discounts on the Premium OfferedIf you don't ask you don't get. Encourage the insurance company you are obtaining quotes to give...

Sourcing and Security
2008-03-04 18:19:00
The recent seizure of $76 million worth of counterfeit Cisco kit by US authorities comes as no surprise. What’s interesting is that security is cited as a major concern. Security professionals in high threat environments have long been concerned about the sourcing of hardware and software. That's because it’s easy to plant a bug or a back door, but extremely hard to detect one. The reality however is that the business community decided long ago that the economic benefits of overseas manufacturing and services outweigh these security concerns. Counterfeiting is a more insidious threat, because the true sourcing is disguised and the quality of the product is less certain. Perhaps this is a timely wake-up call for organisations in high threat environments to review the security risks associated with their sourcing processes.

That is whatI want.. to live, breathe, continue to dream, continue to livemy life, surrounded by all things "Country French".When I first started selling antiques, searchingfor inventory consumed most of my time. Markets and malls by day and auctionsby night. Merchandising and marketing were placed on the back burner. If I had time I'dget to that, but I had to have inventory.

Celina CHAN: Tips on Sourcing from China
2007-10-30 07:41:00
According to my experience with DHgate, here are some tips we gathered: 1. Don’t buy counterfeits 2. Don’t buy items where prices are excessively low 3. Don’t believe in sellers who ask you to buy directly from them as 99% they are trying to cheat you through depositing money directly into their account. Then they just disappear without delivering any products 4. Ask more questions. Ask more about the details of the specs and features of the products to make sure those products are what you want. If sellers don’t know how to answer, keep asking. 5. Be patient. English standard of Chinese sellers may not be very high. Use simple English and keep on explaining. 6. Try to become a VIP buyer by at least buying $300 each month. As a bronze VIP buyer (which is the lowest level), you will receive priority service from our buyer services team. You can also use our live chat service if necessary. For 1 on 1 account servicing, you will need to spend $2000 each month to become our silv...
