Tsai Chongxin took over, Daniel Zhang left, a reinterpretation of a power game?
Alibaba announced some time ago that Tsai Chongxin will become the company's chairman on the same day, and former chairman and Alibaba legend Daniel Zhang will resign from the board of directors. In addition, Wu Yongming will succeed Daniel Zhang as the company's chief executive officer. Alibaba also announced that it would fund Daniel Zhang's founding"Future-proof"and for the first time in the history of Alibaba, he was awarded the technology"Outstanding Ali people"Title. This may seem like an ordinary job change, but it has a very different meaning.
Did Daniel Zhang make a mistake?
When some people saw the news, they quickly started a discussion. Some netizens said that this time Daniel Zhang's"Dismissal of class"It has something to do with business strategy. On the other hand, Ali was caught by Pinduoduo because of his low price, so he fell into passivity. At the same time, Daniel Zhang"Dismissal of class"An important factor is that enterprises cannot find effective solutions to problems such as institutional rigidity and lack of creativity.
Alibaba's dilemma.
In recent years, Alibaba has been in a fierce market environment, with influence coming from all directions. Some pointed out that this is due to Alibaba's lack of innovation in recent years. As a company grows, its internal mechanisms tend to become more and more rigid, hindering its creativity. While Jack Ma and others have brought strong innovation genes to Alibaba, these genes seem to be slowly disappearing.
Innovation is the key to development.
Regardless of Alibaba's future, this incident once again tells us that innovation is the key to sustainable business development. No matter what enterprise or industry, if we cannot break the curse of institutional rigidity and lack of innovation in time, even if the leadership is replaced, it will not be possible to fundamentally solve the problem. For Ali, this may be a new beginning, but it is also a good time to reflect. Enterprises must realize that in order to be invincible in the future market competition, they must break the original structure and thinking mode, and continue to innovate and change. What happened to Ali is a wake-up call for the rest of our businesses and industries.
We must realize that innovation is not a slogan, it requires real dedication and practice. It is on this basis that we propose a new, sustainable and long-lasting approach. We can't just look at Alibaba and some other successful companies and think that innovation is a simple thing. What we need to see more is the hardships and efforts in the process of technological innovation, and the risks and challenges we face. In today's rapidly changing social environment, enterprises must continue to innovate and change if they want to gain lasting competitive advantage and vitality. I hope that everyone will take this as a warning and jointly promote the progress of enterprises and industries.
As Chairman of Alibaba, Joe Tsai faces tremendous challenges and opportunities. In the face of competitive pressure from all sides, she needs to lead Alibaba to find new development space and new business models. There is no doubt that this is a critical period for Alibaba. But we should not forget that both Tsai Chongxin and Alibaba have great strength and resources. We have reason to believe that they will be able to tide over the difficulties and win greater victories in the future market competition.
In this period of change and opportunity, we will wait and see how Alibaba will develop. We also hope that more companies and industries can learn from this change. We must always keep one thing in mind: in a rapidly changing society, we must always be vigilant, have a keen insight into the market, and constantly innovate and change, which is the foundation of sustainable development of enterprises. Otherwise, even if we have the best leaders, it will be difficult to save a troubled business like Ali did. As the situation of Ali shows, let us learn lessons together and work together to promote the development of enterprises and industries in a better direction, only in this way can we be invincible in the fierce competition and create a better tomorrow!
