The global financial crisis has dealt a heavy blow to the IT industry in the United States, and a large number of international IT giants have laid off employees. Nokia, a leading mobile phone manufacturer, recently announced a "slimming" plan to lay off 600 people, mainly in the marketing and R&D departments. Affected by the financial crisis, Motorola laid off 3,000 people again, and the R&D department was the hardest hit. Nortel Networks (hereinafter referred to as "Nortel") will announce the details of its latest restructuring plan next week, when it may announce that 3,000 to 5,000 people will be laid off. Huawei announced that it would suspend the sale of terminal business. AMD recently announced that it will lay off 500 employees worldwide, accounting for 3% of the total number of employees in the world, in order to make the troubled companies return to profitability. Since mid-September, the technology company * * * has announced that it will lay off nearly 45,000 employees, among which five companies, namely Xerox, Dell, Yahoo, Yi Bei and Chimengda, account for 90% of the total number of the chief executives.

Due to the structural differences in products and consumption of IT industry in China, and the limited impact of macro-fictitious economy on IT industry in China, the impact of international financial crisis on IT industry pattern in China is not obvious. Because the degree of globalization of domestic it enterprises is relatively low and the impact of the global financial crisis is relatively small, some related industries in China IT industry have opportunities and potential.

Hou Hong, an analyst, believes that with the storm of layoffs in the it industry in the United States, it is an opportunity for China's IT industry to recruit global IT talents. Because China's IT industry has a huge domestic consumer market as a strong support, the global international financial crisis can be said to be both opportunities and challenges for China's IT industry.

As far as the future development trend is concerned, from the market point of view, China's IT industry will fully meet the huge domestic consumer market, while China's software industry will mainly face the consumer markets of developing countries such as Asia and Africa in software outsourcing business. Obviously, China's software industry will usher in an important period of development opportunities. Supported by the huge domestic demand market and the strong promotion of the internationalization of well-known domestic IT enterprises by the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China's IT industry will further open up the important European and American markets for IT consumption in the process of accelerating globalization, which is pregnant with great opportunities in the risks.

From the industrial structure, China's software industry is still dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. Under the condition of imperfect industrial chain structure, enterprises pay more attention to short-term profits, lack the accumulation of core R&D technology and innovation consciousness of software technology development, and lack the depth of market segmentation, which seriously hinders enterprises from becoming bigger and stronger. Because at present, a large part of domestic software does not have independent intellectual property rights, but is a copy of foreign free software, so domestic software can only rely on real independent research and development and its own intellectual property rights.

In short: the financial turmoil has an impact on all industries, and this impact is sometimes an opportunity. Because the influence of China's software industry is mainly reflected in IT powers such as Europe and the United States, China's software industry will usher in an important period of development opportunities under the background that China is leading the integration of informationization and industrialization and taking a new road of industrialization. IT is hoped that all domestic brands in the IT industry can seize the opportunity, complete technological progress as soon as possible to catch up with international brands, keep up with internationally renowned brands in product concepts and services, and launch better products that meet market demand.
