　It's interesting to imagine that you are located in Taiwan, report to your boss in Hong Kong while the regional vice president stays in Singapore and be responsible to the president in United States. In such a kind of global networks, products may be developed in United States, manufactured in Asia Pacific and sold in Europe. What kind of position should Taiwan be in the globalized supply chain? What should people in Taiwan do to face the operations without frontier? What kind of job should be picked as the next step? Should be main-land China our next step?

　It's hard to answer such a lot of questions and the perfect answer may not exist as well, it depends on how you evaluate to the whole career plan and what your choices are. Because of the restriction of geographic reasons and also insufficient hinterlands, small island such as Taiwan is hard to build it's own brands and sales channels. What Taiwan can do is just OEM or even advance to ODM, cost benefit is the only important thing in such a situation. When the advantage is taken by main land China or the third world countries in low labor rates, Taiwan should adjust its steps to perform innovations no matter in management or new technologies development. Sincerely speaking, maybe the only superiorities Taiwan has are management skills, but when most of corporations are move out, what else can be left to be managed?
