    Mobile Internet Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, Or Business Groups?

    BERKELEY ROUNDTABLE ON THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY BRIE Working Paper 2016-6 MOBILE INTERNET BUSINESS MODELS IN CHINA: VERTICAL HIERARCHIES, HORIZONTAL CONGLOMERATES, OR BUSINESS GROUPS? Kai Jia and Martin Kenney Mobile Internet Platform Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, or Business Groups? July 27, 2016 Kai Jia Ph.D. Student Tsinghua University Beijing, China And Martin Kenney Community and Regional Development University of California, Davis [email protected] Acknowledgments: The authors thank Roger Bohn and John Zysman for helpful comments. The authors remain responsible for all remaining errors. 2 ABSTRACT The current understanding of the dynamics of digital platforms and strategy for their concomitant ecosystems has emerged from an analysis of firms in Western market economies. Our contribution arises from a detailed study of the business strategies of the current leaders in the Chinese mobile internet industry—Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu. We find that they have developed business models significantly different from those of US firms. We argue that these Chinese firms are developing a “platform business group” strategy predicated upon horizontal expansion through organic growth, acquisition, and the purchase of significant equity positions in vertical industries, such as ride sharing, online-to-offline commerce, and travel. As a generalization, their western counterparts were much more oriented toward vertical expansion integrating either upwards or downwards in their respective software stacks. A central component of the business group is an online payment system that operates with its other platforms to cross-feed traffic and use internal cross-platform personal data to customize its offerings to users. We show that the different environmental conditions in China versus Western market economies allow firms there to pursue different business strategies.
  • The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China

    The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China

    The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China 1 2 0 2 , H T 4 1 L I Jeff Towson - Peking University R P A April 14th, 2021 The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China Alibaba paved the way for the e-commerce revolution that has taken China by storm. Today, China is the largest e-commerce market in the world. Roughly 50% of global online transactions occur within China. To truly understand the Chinese competitive e-commerce landscape, we need to look into the consumer trends, the characteristics of the Chinese consumer, the Chinese marketplace, and the growth of internet users and fintech. Joining us for a discussion on the Chinese E-commerce competitive landscape Jeff Towson— Keynote Speaker on Digital China and Asia, Head of Research at Asia Tech Strategy US-China Series has been blessed to have leading authorities on many segments of the Chinese economy, but I struggle to find another with Jeff’s knowledge of e-commerce and the digital landscape. His understanding of companies such as JD, Alibaba, and Pinduodou was exceptional, and our deep dive into these companies and their ecosystem provided insights into not only the prevailing competitive landscape but where the industry is likely headed in the years to come. Chinese e-commerce has merged content, commerce, and social media into one platform. Traditional retailers like Walmart pitch themselves as places where one would buy what they need with extensive selections to choose from, and many e-commerce retailers have followed this model. In contrast, the shopping mall represents a different retail experience: one may go there for fun with friends and experience different things.
