Mr. Barry Lam is an industrial tycoon in IT field. His success is a legendary story, rising from ghetto kid to billionaire. He is an entrepreneur himself and made the fortune and reputation by the company he founded, Quanta Computer Inc., which has been the world’s biggest laptop computer manufacturer for a decade or even longer. When talking about entrepreneurship, his credit is really 2nd to none.

4 trends were summarized by Mr. Lam in the seminar of “2010 Young Entrepreneurs of the Future”, they were,

It is a pity that I could not find more details about Mr. Lam’s addressing on internet so far. I really wish to know better about how he elaborated these trends. In addition, few weeks ago, I read the newspapers about Quanta Computer Inc’s corporate convention (mainly attended by institutional investors and press), where he stated the development trend of the industry will be based on “human-centric” automation, and will subsequently be materialized in 6 categories of application, they are,


He also told at the same venue, the company (QCI) is rather a hardware company, which won’t be profited much from cloud-computing.  Since "cloud" is the trend, the company has been developing the equipment, system for cloud computing solution and will enhance its capability in software development.

Few days after QCI’s convention, hp acquired Palm. Apparently, hp had also been thinking about how to reinforce itself in software development, by which hp might even wish to reduce its dependence on Microsoft and consequently transforms to an integrated company owning both hardware and software (Palm OS could be employed in laptop, tablet PC and smart phone). Besides, Palm might also bring smart phone to hp, which would help hp compete with Apple Inc in the future.  HTC, a Taiwanese smart phone vendor, also announced to develop its own OS (software) after failed to strike a deal (acquistion) with Palm.  These facts simply show that hardware companies nowadays are looking for increasing its capability of software development.

未消者於品牌忠度降低，只服有忠度
This really worth paying attention to and thinking it over.  And this might be the reason those hardware companies tring so hard to build its own software capability.  Since "service" is mostly delivered by software, rather than the hardware product.  Apple's iTunes might be the best example of such mentality.

I always feel excited to learn or know the insight/vision of iconic people (industrial tycoon, management gurus, ...etc.) like Mr. Barry Lam.  Hopefully, I myself could learn something from them and materialize it in my life someday.

林百里 10年後

　

▲董事林百里昨日在青年上指出，未10年的，要抓住路新代的新值。（乙）

者秀／台北

    　董事林百里昨日在青年上指出，未10年的，要抓住路新代的4新值。「抓住人本自化，服始。」他也，10年後年人的偶像，是像大路作家寒在路具有影力的家，而不是股神巴菲特或果人。

    　代基金昨日「2010年青年袖」，同也是代基金董事的林百里邀致。他未10年後的，抓住4新代的新值，包括一、大的平等化正在行，寒言不理或；二、民力量崛起，各政，甚至可以影政府政策；三、成本是免的；四、iPad崛起，一股新的路科技革命正在生，用手指取代滑鼠的新代、新值的形成，不容小。

    　於路革命，林百里路所引的新代、新值正在生中。他，路覆了知交模式。去生的知交，主要自本或堂上的老，但在是自不同的路世界。路力量大，路爆作家，在路上的影力，可能一家袖。

平板 林百里吐槽

工商【者智／台北】

董事林百里在法上再次，端算是未10年的展重。不到在端境下催生的如iPad等平板，林百里，台硬代工，由於格、技、格都偏低，因此根本不算利多，他甚至平板品上接近，而不是算工具。

了端算市，今年初行整，除了3NB事群垂直整合事群外，把去的ES（企解方案事群）改名新3C事群，展林百里倡的新3C品。

林百里指出，新3C部品包含了掌上（手持）、膝上（NB）、、公室、家城市等各用品，在都始布局，其中部分，透感器合端可以做到防的作用，品最快在明年就可以世。

林百里，然端最大商是在「服」，在端的架是向提供系解方案品，偏重在硬的造。

林百里，以企，IBM是做企的服，果是做消者的服，未消者於品牌忠度降低，只服有忠度，如果iPod消者忠的其是iTune提供的服，所以一直果品。

而果最新品iPad，林百里，平板也要跟服合，如果只是搭Windows7作系，消者很，比起平板可能不算是算工具，比似是的化，未媒、出版等在的，直接近到消者身，操作也控器成手指控，媒很大改。

至於於硬造商，林百里，平板的格、格等都太低了，所以很多山寨很快就可以登，代工平板可能也不到，所以如果要做平板，定特殊用的高毛利平板。
