To solve information asymmetry that SMEs face in the real business world, we created Alibaba.com; to allow direct access and communications between consumers and businesses and reduce logistics cost, we created Taobao; to ensure integrity in business, we created Alipay; to make data the infrastructure of the new economy, we keep on developing Aliyun; and to lower the logistics cost of the whole society, we are devoted to building Cainiao Logistics Network. In living our mission of “making it easy to do business anywhere”, we are dedicated to integrating technology and business. We have created an open, transparent and sharing ecosystem serving millions of businesses and partners from the countryside of Taobao Villages to the bustling streets in the big cities. In this way, we drove the growth of consumption, accounting for eight percent of China's total retail sales, and transformed economic growth model, and created more than ten million jobs both directly and indirectly. In fulfilling our social responsibilities, we are enthusiastic about public welfare and advance it in a business manner. In Alibaba, we integrate altruism and public welfare in our daily activity to ensure the long-term enhancement of values for customers, employees, investors and other participants. Meanwhile, we encourage and support all players on our platforms to engage in environmental protection, education and medical care by breaking down barriers in technology and trust. Within the company, we are concerned about social public welfare; encourage employees to commit themselves to public welfare, and use our business advantages to help the vulnerable groups. We believe that the key to shouldering social responsibilities is to awaken public awareness and raise the sense of social responsibilities by employing advantages of the Internet, so that every user has the opportunity to participate in public welfare. Today, digital economy and the real economy are integrated as one, and both technology and commerce are undergoing a rapid change. When the Internet is rapidly leaping from the IT (Information Technology) age to the DT (Digital Technology) age, we are speeding up our transformation from an e-commerce company to a platform that provides the future infrastructure of commerce. We will insist on developing platforms, using data and Internet technology to improve efficiency in various sectors so as to optimize and restructure value chains. We believe that to enhance social efficiency in a business manner is the best way for us to assume our social responsibilities as an organization. To facilitate social development by solving social problems is the source of inspiration for all of our products and innovations, which is also the value and meaning of Alibaba and the driving force to move us forward. --Daniel Yong ZHANG, CEO of Alibaba Group 06- -07 Preface Since the beginning in 1999, Alibaba was founded on such a belief: The origin of business is to solve social problems, and only by committing ourselves to solving social problems can we create a valuable and sustainable commercial model.

Cross-border e-commerce has the characteristics of shortening the trading phase and reducing costs, bypassing the traditional trade intermediary links, making it possible for producers to directly face end consumers, both to raise profits and to lower commodity prices. Because domestic e-commerce market is beginning to enter the saturated period, Chinese enterprises seek new markets abroad in order to get rid of fierce competition from the country. When an enterprise wants to gain access to foreign markets, it is necessary to analyze the country's environment and understand the local market and industry's specific circumstances. SWOT is a common strategic analysis tool. This paper mainly studies the strategy selection of China's cross-border e-commerce platform into Thailand, and is an example of Alibaba's AliExpress, which shows whether it should enter the Thai market and how it should be entered. Based on the 4M analysis, 7 'S analysis, PEST analysis and Porter's five-force model, this paper analyzes the internal and external environment, finds out the strengths and weaknesses of the platform, the opportunities and threats existing in Thailand's market and uses five points to quantify the four factors.

  • 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 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.

  • Chinese Grocery's Age of Empires
    CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES TWO GIANT GROUPINGS ARE CARVING UP THE MARKET CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES Chinese retail is evolving into two rival empires, each dominated by competing e-commerce giants. One realm is centered on Alibaba, which owns two of China’s largest e-commerce platforms, Taobao and TMall, as well as an electronic payments system, AliPay. The other is an alliance between JD, a leading online retailer, and Tencent, an internet and digital-technology conglomerate that owns WeChat, China’s most popular social-media app. These two empires already own the digital lives of Chinese consumers today, where the average Chinese spends over 60% of their mobile app usage on either ecosystem. Now Alibaba and Tencent/JD have set their sights on physical retail, including acquiring stakes in six of China’s top 10 hypermarkets, the country’s biggest electronics retailer, one of the largest department stores and the largest commercial property and entertainment conglomerate.
