How do Chinese companies accelerate innovation? As China’s e-commerce leader, the Alibaba Group provides an ideal case study. This presentation introduces the findings of a project that examined the relationship between knowledge sharing, service innovation capability and the moderating effects of organizational culture in three sites (Alibaba Headquarter, Alibaba Hong Kong and Alibaba Taiwan). The study helps to explain the success of Alibaba Group and also re-examines the existing theories and practices of conventional innovation.
