Privileged Market Access Under CEPA Foreign companies provide training courses to users on the mainland mostly in the form of customised programs for individual companies via setting up management consultancy companies on the mainland. Foreign companies are not yet allowed to set up wholly-owned consultancy companies on the mainland. However, CEPA enables Hong Kong companies to set up wholly owned consultancy companies on the mainland. Personnel intermediary agencies may offer open class training courses. Nevertheless, only minority foreign joint venture personnel intermediary agencies are allowed presently. In contrast, CEPA enables Hong Kong companies to set up majority-owned joint venture personnel intermediaries. Source: MCAHK/HKTDC Joint Study of 15th June, 2006

Management Consultancies Association of Hong KongWrite Up One distinctive feature of Hong Kong’s services sector is the importance of business to business services. Management consultancy is one such important service, but its extent and scope was not clearly understood by potential users. Therefore, the Hong Kong Coalition of Service Industries (HKCSI), the service policy think tank of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC), commissioned the University of Hong Kong to undertake a study of the current and future place of management consultancy in relation to Hong Kong’s competitiveness, together with an analysis of how the sector might be promoted. The study was funded by the Services Support Fund of the HKSAR Government in October 1997 and completed in early 1999. The academic team was led by Professor Michael J Enright and Dr Edmund R Thompson, who came to a very clear conclusion – “The Next Revolution in Hong Kong’s Economy will not be a Technological Revolution, but a Managerial Revolution”. Management consulting adds value to Hong Kong through its own sales and expenditures, through the revenues and profits brought back to Hong Kong from “exports”, through the increased competitiveness of its local client base, and through its ability to transfer global best practice management tools and techniques to the local business environment. In view of the importance of the management consultancy sector, a key recommendation from the survey was to advocate collective action to promote the management consultancy sector through the creation of an association to speak for the industry. As the representative for the industry, the association would carry greater weight in interacting with government, educational institutions and other organisations at home and abroad. The Management Consultancies Association of Hong Kong (MCAHK) was therefore formed in April 1999 with the assistance of the HKGCC and support from the HKSAR Government. The purposes of the association were to provide a central body for inquiries – particularly overseas parties who wished to use the services of Hong Kong based consultants, to provide a networking and educational arena for local consultants, to be a conduit for information, and to act as a representative for issues pertaining to management consultants.

He/she should not be biased by any stakeholder about any aspect of the client’s thinking which could alter the impartiality of the member’s advice. • Conflicts of Interest • A member shall not represent himself as an independent evaluator and at the same time accept commissions or other benefits from others in connection with a recommendation to a client regarding services or products without the client’s knowledge and consent. • Proprietary Materials • We recognize our responsibility to the profession to share with our colleagues the methods and techniques we utilise in serving clients. We will not knowingly, without their permission, use proprietary data, procedures, materials, or techniques that other management consultants have developed but not released for public use. • Client Relations • We will not make offers of employment to employees of clients without prior consultation. If we are approached by employees of clients regarding employment in our firm or in that of another client, we will make certain that we have our clients’ consent before entering into any negotiations with employees. When consultants change employers, they have a responsibility to fulfill or adequately transfer the clients’ contacts and assignment details prior to termination. • Professional Reputation • We will respect the professional reputation and practice of other management consultants. This does not remove the moral obligation to expose unethical conduct of fellow members of the profession to the proper authorities. • We will strive to broaden public understanding and enhance public regard and confidence in the management consulting profession, so that management consultants can perform their proper function in society effectively. We will conduct ourselves so as to reflect credit on the profession and to inspire the confidence, respect, and trust of clients and the public.
