リクルート「Tech総研」の研究レポート
彼女に?自分に?エンジニアが選ぶクリスマスプレゼント事情を緊急調査!
************************************************************************
リクルートが運営するサイト「リクナビNEXT Tech総研」
(http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/)は、エンジニアの『仕事・職場の
実態・気になる給与』『賢い転職ノウハウ』情報を毎日お届けしています。
クリスマスまであと1カ月と差し迫りました。今回、Tech総研では300人の
エンジニアにアンケート調査を実施し、エンジニアのクリスマスプレゼント事
情に迫りました。
まず、昨年のクリスマスプレゼントについて聞いてみたところ、なんと約8割も
のエンジニアが、プレゼントの購入も、もらったりもしていないことが分かり
ました。なお、残り2割の購入層の最多価格帯は、1万円以上3万円未満でした。
昨年、彼女に渡したプレゼントのベスト3は、1位:貴金属、2位:ファッション
小物(財布、カバンなど)、3位:衣料品という結果に。“女性へのプレゼント
といえば貴金属”というイメージがまだまだ根強いようです。
続いて自分自身へのプレゼントベスト3は、1位:電化製品、2位:衣料品・ファ
ッション小物、3位:趣味実用品という結果になりました。クリスマスという機
会に、以前から欲しかった高価なものを購入するエンジニアが多いようです。
では、今年の予定を聞いたところ、約7割が『プレゼントを一切買ったりもらっ
たりする予定なし』と回答。購入予定者の最多価格帯も昨年同様1万円以上3万
円未満ですが、昨年に比較して3万円以上5万円未満、もしくは5万円以上10万円
未満という高額を想定している人が増えていることが分かりました。
レポートでは、今年買いたいプレゼントのベスト3や、価格帯などの詳細なデー
タとともに、クリスマスプレゼントについての具体的なコメントをご紹介して
います。

現役大学生を中心として運営している株式会社レセオ(reseau 代表取締役:山本 晋也)は、新卒採用支援事業として人事ブログポータルサイト「れせぶろ!」http://reseblog.jpに続き、驚きの低価格のSEO対策「みんなのSEO」http://minnanoseo.jpの事業を開始しました。
「みんなのSEO」は、従来のSEO対策サービスに比べ、月額5万円~と非常に安価で、且つSEOスパムの心配も一切なく安心してご利用が可能です。もちろん、完全成果報酬性であるので、依頼者としては一切リスクがありません。
ご存知の通り、SEO対策は「内部チューニング」と「外部の被リンク」が非常に重要な要素となっております。そんな中、最近では悪質なSEO対策業者はその「外部の被リンク」を自動で貼り付けていくプログラムを使用し、そのためにSEOスパムに認定され、顧客のサイトが一切検索されなくなる事が問題になっております。また、リンク先が有害サイトである場合があり、顧客のサイトの印象が悪くなったり、迷惑メールが飛んでくるという問題が発生したりしております。
レセオでは、そのようなリスクを無くすべく、すべての作業を人間の「目」で見て、「手」で行える技術を開発しました。また、そのため効果としてyahoo!、googleともに1位の実績が多数あります。
さらに、SEO対策が当たり前になってきた中、すべての企業様にご案内したいとの想いから、社内の業務効率化を図り、低価格でのご提供が可能となりました。

【ニュースリリース】
================================================================
電子書籍作成ソフトの料金プランを一新!
100社以上の出版社に採用されている電子書籍作成ソフトに
安価に新機能が追加できる新メニュー
================================================================
スターティア株式会社(東京都新宿区 代表取締役社長 兼 最高経営責任者 本郷秀之 証券コード3393 以下スターティア)は、同社が提供を行っている電子書籍作成ソフト『デジタリンク アクティブック』(以下 アクティブック)カスタム版(購入版)の新メニューとして、常に最新機能が追加できる新メニューを12月より開始いたします。
これによりユーザーは、多くの電子書籍作成ソフトよりも安価でいち早く電子書籍の新機能を利用することができるようになります。
電子書籍市場は、インプレスR&Dの調査によるとPC向けで24億円と前年の2.2倍の成長を見せております。
その影響もあり、スターティアの電子書籍作成ソフトを利用している企業からも、更なる新機能の追加を求める声が多く届き、アクティブックでは2006年の発売開始以来「検索エンジン対応機能」などすでに20個以上の新機能を追加してきました。
スターティアではこれまでライセンス版(レンタル提供版)においては随時新機能の追加を行っておりましたが、カスタム版(購入版)を購入したユーザーに対しては、顧客の要望に応じて個別に対応していました。
しかしカスタム版(購入版)を利用している顧客から要望が増えてきたこともあり、今回メニュー化を実施することとなりました。今回の新メニュー追加により、カスタム版(購入版)を購入したユーザーでも月額15,000円で、今後新たに追加される新機能を簡単に利用することができるようになります。
これにより新機能の導入期間が大幅に短縮できるだけでなく、新機能追加時かかる費用を大幅に削減することができます。
日本国内で利用されている電子書籍作成ソフトの多くは、韓国、アメリカ、シンガポールなど海外で開発されたソフトを利用しているため、仮に新機能が追加されても日本版で機能が提供されない場合が多く、また提供されるまでに、長い期間や高額な追加修正費用がかかるのが一般的であります。その点、日本製のソフトであるアクティブックは、他の電子書籍作成ソフトにはない新機能をいち早く導入することができるのが強みとしてあります。
本メニューは12月中の開始を予定しており、すでにアクティブック カスタム版(購入版)を導入しているユーザーだけでなく、月額を抑えながら新機能を利用していきたい企業へも提案を広げていく予定であります。

Further Details at www.kcicplc.com SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- KCIC plc ("KCIC" or "the Company"), which will be the first investment company focused on Korean SMEs to float on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market, is pleased to announce that it has secured a cornerstone investment of British pounds Sterling 2.5 million from Woori Investment & Securities Co. Ltd. ("Woori"), the leading Korean securities business. KCIC begins marketing this week and intends to raise a total of approximately pounds 50 million across key territories, which include Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the UK. Daniel Stewart & Company is acting as the Company's Nominated Adviser and Broker for the fund raising and admission to AIM in the UK. Woori has also been appointed as co-manager to the marketing in Korea, leveraging off its in-depth investment experience and extensive network of 121 offices across Korea. In addition, Dao Heng Securities Ltd., an established broker based in Hong Kong, has been appointed co-manager in the territories of Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In the United Arab Emirates, Convergence Capital Ltd., the boutique investment bank operating in the Dubai International Financial Center, will be assisting with the fund raising. KCIC was established by a senior management team with significant strategic investment expertise in Asia in order to invest in small to medium sized, profitable South Korean technology companies. KCIC will prepare each business for either a possible listing on an appropriate stock exchange or a trade sale. The Company will generate revenues from the provision of strategic management consulting to select invested SMEs in order to move investee companies towards their targeted exit. Unlike an investment fund, KCIC will not take any management or performance fees. KCIC's management team, led by Thomas Yi CEO, has exceptionally strong contacts and support within the South Korean business and investment community and has identified a broad spectrum of profitable companies for potential investment. This strategy is reinforced by the South Korean government which has placed a strong emphasis on the development of new and emerging technologies by the nation's SMEs. Thomas Yi, CEO of KCIC, said, "We are delighted to announce Woori as our cornerstone investor. It is testament to the strength of our proposition that we will be working with Woori not only during our fundraising in Korea but also subsequently as we intend to appoint a Woori executive as a Non Executive Director. We have built an exceedingly strong network to support our marketing efforts and I look forward to reporting further progress in due course."

BEIJING, Nov. 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in China, the State Council Energy Leading Group is drafting a new rural energy strategy in China, to be released early 2008, to establish a vision for future rural energy development and increase access of the poor to sustainable energy. (Logo: http://www.xprn.com/xprn/sa/20061107113358-34-min.jpg ) This was revealed today at the International Conference of Rural Energy Development in China, jointly organized by UNDP and the Office of the State Council Energy Leading Group. Rural energy specialists from both developed and developing countries including USA, Bolivia, Brazil, India, South Africa, and Thailand exchanged best practices and visions in fostering rural energy security in the developing world. "Not only is China's rural energy challenges an issue of energy, but an issue of development as well," said Subinay Nandy, UNDP Country Director in China. "Increasing demand for rural energy and the challenge to cope with climate change have brought issues of sustainable energy development to the top of the national policy agenda in China." "Stable energy supply is critical for poverty alleviation in developing countries. Clean energy is the optimal way to develop without exacerbating air pollution and global warming," Nandy added. "UNDP is committed to assisting the government in integrating sustainable energy solutions into rural planning through technical assistance, policy recommendations and capacity building". A newly-released UNDP Report: "Overcoming Vulnerability to Rising Oil Prices" was also introduced during the conference. The report looks at renewable energy technologies such as small hydro plants, wind turbines, solar panels, and stoves burning `biomass'. Rural energy options that a few years ago might have seemed futuristic are now entering the mainstream. As Nandita Mongia from UNDP Regional Centre in Bankok said, "If these are futuristic, then the future has already arrived". The Report points out that renewable sources bring some of their greatest benefits to off-grid remote rural areas where people often have to rely on diesel or gasoline-powered generators, because they can get much cheaper electricity from for example, small hydro schemes and solar home systems for lighting. UNDP fosters human development to empower women and men to build better lives in China. As the UN's development network, UNDP draws on a world of experience to assist China in developing its own solutions to the country's development challenges. Through partnerships and innovation, UNDP works to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and an equitable Xiao Kang society by reducing poverty, strengthening the rule of law, promoting environmental sustainability, and fighting HIV/AIDS. http://www.undp.org.cn .

Distributor Jumps 18 Places in Awards Contested by 6,000 Companies Across the People's Republic of China BEIJING, Nov. 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Avnet Electronics Marketing, one of the operating groups of leading global distributor of electronic components and computer products, Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), has been ranked seventh in the annual InformationWeek China 100 list of the nation's best users of information technology. Jumping up 18 places compared with last year's list, Avnet Electronics Marketing was chosen from over 6000 companies in more than 35 industries across the People's Republic of China. (Logo: http://www.xprn.com/xprn/sa/200703010917.jpg ) "For three years running we have been selected for the InformationWeek China 100 and every year we have consistently improved our ranking," said Alfred Tang, senior IT director, Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia. "Such consistency of performance and the steady upward trend, culminating in this year's seventh place ranking, is a testament to the continued hard work, professionalism and technical expertise of our teams."

Similar to the US, InformationWeek China 100 examines business-technology strategies, investments, and administrative practices of companies operating in China.

New Training Facility Reinforces the Logistics Provider's Commitment to Customer Care SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Birkart Globistics air + ocean, a business segment of Thiel Logistik AG, has raised the bar in its pursuit to guarantee the highest standards of customer service with the launch this week of a new, dedicated staff training centre in Shanghai. Representatives from Tonghi University and the German Chamber of Commerce were on hand to celebrate the opening of Birkart Globistics' new training facility which has been designed with the exclusive purpose of becoming a centre of excellence for professional development and training for the company's 500 Chinese employees. Under the watchful direction of an internationally acclaimed trainer, Birkart Globistics staff from all over China will attend the centre, not only for basic logistics training, but also for instruction on management, sales, marketing and quality control, with additional opportunities to receive English lessons and classes in best-practice customer care. As a result, Birkart Globistics personnel attending the centre will come away with a comprehensive understanding of the entire workings of Birkart Globistic's local and global freight forwarding operations, including practical knowledge which can be applied for the immediate benefit of the company's customers across China every where. According to Mr. James Kilpatrick, Regional Managing Director for Birkart Globistics Far East, the opening of the new facility not only coincides with the company's 135th Anniversary and 35 years in Asia, but comes at a critical time given the prevailing talent shortage currently faced by China's rapidly growing transportation and logistics sector. Mr. Kilpatrick comments, "Attracting qualified individuals, as well as developing and retaining a motivated workforce has, in consequence, become a priority for Birkart Globistics. Given the skill shortage faced by the industry in China, we appreciate that it is only through internal initiatives such as human resource capacity development that we can bridge this divide." Considering these market conditions, Mr. Kilpatrick explained that Birkart Globistics' competitive advantage in the future would thus become increasingly reliant on having a talented, committed workforce and therefore continuous investment in leadership training and workforce development would prove critical to the company's long-term success. He continues, "Up and until now, Birkart Globistics has had an in enviable employment record in China. We were one of the first companies to achieve an A-license, and our staff turnover rate is well below the industry average at five percent per annum, whilst the majority of our management has worked for the company over twenty years." "However, looking ahead, we can not afford to rest on our laurels. The aggressive economic growth that is taking place in China is creating an environment in which increasing customer demands for improved performance, solutions and results are creating fierce competition within the logistics industry for the best talent." For this reason, Mr. Fabrizio Stanig, General Manager Central and Northern China for Birkart Globistics also emphasizes the significance of creating attractive working conditions pointing out, "We value and appreciate the contribution that each and every one of our employees has made towards the success of the company and hence consider any investment in the development of our people to be an important investment in our future. "Subsequently, the opening of this new facility is yet another milestone for Birkart Globistics as we work towards building a solid foundation in China from which we can continue to grow in the years ahead, " Mr. Stanig concludes. "It is also a sign of our commitment to providing customers in China with the highest standards of international service and care."
