Business Ecosystems in China

The book takes the growth and transformation of Alibaba’s business ecosystem as a focus case in comparison with Baidu, Tencent, Xiaomi and LeEco. These business ecosystems developed in less than 20 years and transformed from organic growth to rapid expansion by investment and acquisition, entrepreneurship and incubation of new ventures, continuous innovation and internationalization. This book brings insights and practical lessons on leading, creating and disrupting markets for corporate executives and professionals in global business, a comparative case study for researchers and students of management and food for thought on Chinese ways of doing business.
