Abstract
Since China entered WTO in November 2001, more and more large trans-national companies in the world have been come into the Chinese market, not only in terms of product and service, but also in human resources, for competing with Chinese enterprises. At present, there are so many enterprises in China, especially small and medium sized-private ones are placed in an embarrass situation. On one hand, the scale of these enterprises is too small, and not famous, difficultly attracting talents, and at the same time, as these smaller sized- private enterprises quickly developing, they need a large amount of capable and skilled personnel, thus it caused a contradiction between development and human resources, on the other hand, due to the lower level of the management, made the enterprises lack a reasonable plan for the talents, and even no systemic recruiting and training programs, as a result, the talents in the companies can not be promoted, so that it accelerated the loss of talents. However, if enterprises can not reserve good talented people and, attract more new comers, certainly, the enterprise itself will be suffered. Private business plays an important role in economy development, social progress, supplying jobs, increasing social revenue and so on. Private business is a stone miles of China economy. While private business is becoming power of social development and symbol of wealth, social pays more attention to private business itself, from attention to criticism and further research to return to theory.
