标题: ZS | 25: A Company is Born – And Grows!-5

Below is the fifth installment in the ZS history message series.
_____________________

A Company is Born – And Grows!

Already having worked with eight companies by 1983, Andy and Prabha
decided that they needed leverage and so incorporated their company
on September 21 as ZS Group, Inc., soon renamed to ZS Associates, Inc.
They rented their first office, with 1700 square feet of space, at
820 Davis Street in Evanston. It was close to Kellogg’s campus to
enable the two to travel back and forth between their teaching duties
on campus and ZS’s new office, and also to provide easy access to
Northwestern’s computer center. As a hedge, Andy and Prabha subdivided
the new space and planned to sublet half.

They hired their first full-time employee, Nancy Murphy, as Office
Manager. She stayed with the firm for 10 years. More hires followed,
and soon they were employing 10 people full-time. As they continued
to hire new consultants, ZS outgrew the entire space in one year.

Confidence in the value of new ideas, combined with a realistic
approach to planning, laid the foundation for ZS’s growth.

To be continued....

突然有两个很好奇的问题: 1)ZS有没有针对本土客户的专门的MODEL的开发,因为中西方文化对于人们行为有很多的差异化影响,所以在美国能用的,或者创新的东西,是不是在中国也应该根据中国市场来创新下? 2)如果要验证MODEL的合理性,ZS中国是不是也有一个,或者租用了一个很大的Computer Center~ 呵呵~纯粹好奇,HR如果觉得我的问题影响了您的正常工作,那么就删除我的回帖吧~顺便我会说声"对不起":87)

这是很好的问题。ZS在美国有一个专门的模型研发中心，我们在运用的时候也会根据中国的实际情况建模或者进行调整。

上海Office没有租用很大的Computer Center，不过如果您在ZS工作，您可以很方便地利用全球ZS的资源，分散各地的ZSers就像在一个Office办公一样。

那是不是就说,ZS中国区的人才们,主要作用还是在原来的模型基础上进行创新?昨天晚上关注了你们网站很久,基本上看完了SERVICE里面的东西,发现主要是介绍业务方面要关心点什么东西.建立模型来分析,提供专业的服务, ZSers的作用就是将客户的信息搜集整合,然后做模型分析,给出结论?我的理解正确么?---------如果我的理解正确,那么其实ZS对于员工的数学建模能力要求会比较高,是么?还有,ZS会希望员工能很深入的了解多种行业的"内幕".这个理解正确么?
