Alibaba has a widely circulated management concept, which is Eastern wisdom and Western operation. Jack Ma believes that Orientals have a deep accumulation of wisdom, but lack business operation ability. Family style, small bookkeeping, and narrow-mindedness are not good. Many things in the West are guaranteed by systems, while in China, they are guaranteed by people. Therefore, in terms of company management, capital operation, and global operations, Jack Ma is unambiguously "totally Westernized."

Alibaba has a rule that those who want to be directors or above must have received 3 to 5 years of education abroad or worked for 5 to 10 years. Jack Ma said that this is a dead order. The 18 people who started a business together can be company commanders or platoon leaders, but Jack Ma invites all those above the level of regiment commander and division commander from outside. Jack Ma is very satisfied with the existing team. "Half of Alibaba's employees are technical staff, and half are service staff. Basically, they all have 2-3 years of experience in the IT industry. Planners are more creative than me, marketers understand the market better than me, and technical staff understand technology better than me. My strongest point is to consider the company's strategy and how to compete in Silicon Valley and globally."

Team Structure

Jack Ma is not an easy CEO. He started his business for 5 years, and no employee has ever left voluntarily. Other companies offered 3 times the salary, but the employees were not tempted. Jack Ma also said sarcastically: "Comrades, 3 times is not enough for me, but 5 times is worth considering." His management team is also incredibly luxurious. Now more and more outstanding talents from Harvard University, Stanford University, and Yale University have gathered at Alibaba.
