IBM and China in a ‘genuine’ collaboration

IBM is aiming at improving China’s position as a service provider in the global market. To achieve this, IBM has launched a key initiative in alliance with the Chinese Education Ministry to bring its global information technology services expertise and capabilities to China. And this comes parallel to China’s heavy interest in developing its service industry, which could boost its economy. The alliance aims at integration of services science curriculum in the Chinese universities to make the education more service- oriented. And in this, surely who’s better than IBM.
