大数据对人力资源（HR）有什么重要性？大数据到底是什么？人力资源专业人士和高管经常会问这些问题，但他们无法得到正确的答案。创新及领先企业已经利用大数据来帮助回答如下关键人力资源和业务问题：

In the Internet age, the Internet businesses are crossing the border,  challenging and overturning the traditional enterprises like a great scourge. Ma Huateng even made four motions in the NPC, one of which is the “Internet+ecology” strategy. On 2015 June 7th, HKU SPACE Institute for China Business invited Dr. Toa Charm to attend a workshop in Shanghai. Dr. Charm would share his view on how Chinese and foreign enterprises could face the challenge of the Internet business and how they could create their own “Internet+” environment. 

在互联网时代，很多传统企业都感到忧虑甚至恐慌。互联网企业像洪水猛兽般跨界挑战及颠覆这些传统企业，多年行之有效的策略、商业模式及核心竞争力全都不适用。是否互联网企业占尽上风？是否传统企业巳难以翻身，必定走下跛及面向死亡？

看看互联网领军马云及马化腾如何看这题本。马云说，若互联网企业不能好好融合鼠标与水泥，互联网企业会很麻烦。马化腾更在全国人大提出了四项议案，其中一项就是〝互联网+生态〞战略。今年三月份，第十二届全国人民代表大会第三次会议在人民大会堂举行，李克强总理在报告中，首次提出制定〝互联网+〞行动计划。李克强在政府工作报告中提出，制定〝互联网+〞行动计划，推动移动互联网、云计算、大数据、物联网等与现代制造业结合，促进电子商务、工业互联网和互联网金融健康发展，引导互联网企业拓展国际市场。

事实上，传统企业在〝互联网+〞的战略是有其优势，例如线下的资源整全。〝互联网+〞概念的提出，让中国互联网行业以及传统行业的从业者都有了压力。谁能最终获取胜利就看谁能有效融合各方优点，制定合适的〝互联网+〞战略。
