All roads lead to China does a nice write-up of the most recent developments of Jack Ma's Alibaba. We can expect some surprises in the next year.
Jack Ma has been the poster child in China for successful entrepreneurs. He took some savings, strapped together some seed money, and within a few years had placed his company on the tour plan for all international venture capitalists.
While starting with Alibaba, the competition with Global Sources had to be daunting to say the least, but by bringing in the right people to help formulate corporate strategies early, Alibaba was able to move from B2B to B2C, and was able to land Yahoo China.
As indicated above, the last month has been an active one, and I think that 2007 will bring some Alisurprises to companies who had no idea Alibaba was even interested in their space.
