Haier, China's famous electronics firm who started already to go global in the 1990s, is “insanely curious”, tells IMD professor Bill Fischer in the Business Spectator. Fischer is the co-author of a new book on innovative strategies Reinventing Giants: How Chinese Global Competitor Haier Has Changed the Way Big Companies Transform
.The Business Spectator:
As for Haier, its founder Zhang Ruimin is an avid reader of business literature and a Drucker-quoting member of a management mutual appreciation society that includes Michael Porter and Gary Hamel. IMD professor Bill Fischer, co-author of Reinventing Giants, a new book about Haier, says the company is “insanely curious”. But it is pursuing “revolution by accretion”, with each new development built on the last. Even Haier’s autonomous business units trace their roots back to Japanese quality improvement programs that the Chinese company adopted in the 1980s.More in the Business Spectator.
