Fresh Insights on China’s Engineers in Latest Report from SupplyFrame and EEFocus

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) September 17, 2013

SupplyFrame-EEFocus has announced the availability of its second annual report on the work habits of electronics engineers in China. The first Decision Factors for China’s Engineers, released in June 2012, was a landmark in understanding the design process of engineers in China’s booming electronics industry. The 2013 edition of the report reaffirms last year’s findings while adding intriguing new details.

The report was created by SupplyFrame, a leader in digital sales and marketing services for the electronics industry, along with their strategic partner EEFocus, a premier social network and marketing provider based in Beijing. The survey was distributed to 50,000 electronics professionals across China, and EEFocus followed up with one-on-one interviews with many of the respondents.

"The EEFocus team lives and breathes electronics in China," said Alma Wang, Director of Business Development, SupplyFrame-EEFocus. "We knew who to ask to get the clearest picture of how engineers in China get their job done. And as a China-based team, we’re able to translate answers and interpret results without introducing cultural bias."

Over a thousand engineers participated in the survey comprised of questions including:

•     How do you choose components and suppliers?
•     How often do you buy components online?
•     What tools do you use to get designs done faster?
•     How can suppliers help you make design decisions?

Their answers provide actionable insights that will help electronics marketers align their company’s marketing strategy with the needs and preferences of prospects in China.

"Electronics companies need to know what their customers want so they can give it to them," explained John Schirmer, SupplyFrame Vice President of Worldwide Sales. "This study uncovers things like how engineers prefer to communicate with suppliers, their top research sites, and their biggest design challenges. We’re excited to help our partners connect effectively with Chinese engineers at critical points during the design cycle."
