The book reveals how Haier has repeatedly reinvented its business model and corporate culture in an effort to sustain its success. Haier's success is not about impulsiveness, nor naive philosophical longings, but about ambitious aspirations, strong inspirational leadership, careful strategic observation, detailed adjustments of managerial choices, and abundant trust in the power of employees to really take command of an organization's fate. The authors demonstrate how a giant company of 80,000 employees transformed itself by embracing the contradictions of being simultaneously structured yet entrepreneurial, disciplined yet flexible, tactical yet strategic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReinventing Giants\u003c\/i\u003e offers the critical information, lessons learned, and a substantive model for transforming any company grappling with competition in the global marketplace.
