What should SEA think?

Seeing that the company, known as Southeast Asia, has a serious market problem. What should we look at this matter?

First of all, the biggest problem in the current Southeast Asian Tencent SEA is the process of market development. Before, a strategy of rapid expansion has been adopted. Under this rapid expansion strategy, a large number of people have increased During the process of high -speed development, the demand for personnel in enterprises is very large. In this regard, companies often do not take into account the problems that occur in personnel recruitment, and because the development speed is fast, companies often do not consider carefully The cost of its own, so the end result is that as long as a company maintains a high speed, there will be a surge in the number of personnel, and whether these personnel are really effectively used, it is actually very uncertain. Southeast Asia's small Tencent SEA will have such problems.

Secondly, with the gradual depletion of the current market traffic, the market traffic has begun to decline significantly. Under such a big background, the downside of this traffic is not only the emergence of the Chinese Internet market, but the entire Internet. The market is underway, and the traffic is reduced significantly. The impact of this reduction on the company is very obvious. Especially if Internet companies do not have enough traffic to support their rapid development, it is likely to face huge markets. Development pressure. The current SEA is actually facing such problems. In the process of market development, in the face of the pressure of the entire market traffic, the end result can only reduce their costs through layoffs and make themselves enter a state of return to the core of the core. Essence

Third, from the perspective of long -term market development, any Internet company must actually consider its long -term market changes and market trends. If you cannot form your own effective market competitiveness in the process of market development, then the final result must be adjusted by the market. This decline or market fluctuations are a very normal phenomenon. Observing many well -known Internet companies in China, through this way of layoffs and cost reduction, eventually achieved profitability. This is also an effective means. Although we have been talking about two open source and throwing, of which the open source is more than the festival. Streaming is even more important, but in the current situation, it is possible that this matter can still be dialectically analyzed.
