The Management Transformation of Huawei by Xiaobo Wu

The Management Transformation of Huawei by Xiaobo Wu

Every company would like to develop the ability to change itself and adapt to new business and technology. These 'dynamic capabilities' are central to theories of competitive advantage but few companies have been shown to possess them. This book shows how Huawei has this ability, with successful change routines and change-supporting values.

'This is a 'must read' book for whoever is interested in the rise of ChinaIt provides unique empirical and conceptual insights on China's leading company and draws on world class researchers for analysis and commentaries. Uniquely valuable!' Yves Doz, Solvay Chaired Professor of Technological Innovation, INSEAD
'The Management Transformation of Huawei provides a fascinating account of how Huawei preserved its entrepreneurial spirit as it rapidly scaled up over its 30-year history. Very few studies provide such an in-depth historical account of the evolution of a company over such a long period of time. Any scholar or practitioner interested in understanding the leadership challenges that arise with rapid organizational growth should read this book.' Ranjay Gulati, Paul R. Lawrence MBA Class of 1942 Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
'Huawei has become a major player in the global electronics industry and has been - perhaps unwantedly - cast into the role of a significant geopolitical force. This book is important and interesting because of the astonishing story of Huawei's corporate growth. The authors provide an insightful account of how Huawei transformed itself from a small startup into a global giant, making an important scholarly contribution under major headings of the strategic management literature, such as 'knowledge', 'routines' and 'dynamic capabilities'.' Sidney G. Winter, Deloitte and Touche Professor Emeritus of Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
'The authors of this book examine how the Chinese telecommunications equipment company Huawei managed to grow from a small Shenzhen-based startup … to a giant company with over 188,000 employees and $105 billion in revenues in 2018 … Their most significant contribution is their detailed documentation … of the process of sequentially building administrative capabilities in multiple critical functional areas to support the company's extraordinary growth trajectory … In doing so the authors offer … a fascinating perspective on the poetry of strategic leadership.' Robert A. Burgelman, Administrative Science Quarterly
