Knowledge Sharing Platform
The knowledge sharing platform or system has been established. Together with the easy access to the internet and other technical innovation, there is mere need to have a physical office with exactly the same function to gather, share and deal with the corporate information to do the business.
Real Estate
In line with the booming world’s population, together with changing tax policy on property, the commercial real estate has reached the sky-high prices which become unaffordable for the small and medium companies. The difference between the concept of home and office for young professional will become vague. As when the company recruits the young generations, company will provide them with their “dormitory” in the past location of the office building.
Besides, international business involves cooperation among lots of countries with relatively equal importance, together with the issue of time zones, the contributions from establishing and maintaining more offices across the global is not obvious as in the past.
Furthermore, the increased tax burden for building and renting a commercial building come at a difficult time for the property industry. The government ends its policy of granting long-term tax relief to owners of commercial buildings. The commercial-property owners, like CBD, switch to rent the meeting and conference rooms for the business company at their own needs based. All this events leads to the trend of no more office.
Tax on CO2
Authority grant carbon credits for both company and individual, intends to reduce the carbon-dioxide emissions. Under Kyoto’s Clean Development Mechanism, or CDM, company have to buy CDM credit which fetches around $50 high to emit a ton of CO2.
At the meantime, oil consumers riled by soaring fuel costs will face far worse in 2020 as factors ranging from unrest in countries to slumping production. OPEC has kept its production target almost unchanged for a long period and has rebuffed calls for more supply even though crude prices has doubled or even tripled compared to 2005. This put further strain on auto makers, airlines and utilities, and which all finally switch to the consumers. Therefore, the traffic on the road and air is heavily reduced, which leads to more intense use of the virtual platforms for operating on the net..
