Dear Colleagues:
Since many of you may be using cases on Haier in your courses on “Global Strategy,” perhaps you may find the following analysis of their new “platform” strategy of interest. It was published recently by CKGSB Knowledge, a publication of the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, based in Beijing and regarded as one of China’s very best business schools.
Best,
Anil
