摘要

Storied Chinese corporate leaders like Ren Zheng Fei at Huawei, Liu Chuan Zhi at Lenovo, Zhang Rui Min at Haier,Jack Ma at Alibaba and Ma Hua Teng at Tencent have led their companies on to the international stage, building on their epic success at home. Exhibit 1 profiles the five companies and their founders. The entrepreneurial skills of these founders[1] have been chronicled by the international media as each of them has built a multi-billion-dollar firm. Their five companies compete in very different industries, and yet have shared a common journey of unprecedented growth that now presents them with new challenges.[2]
