Graphic technology companies business model: crazy structure

June 27, web designer Manu Cornet on his blog, drew a group of American technology companies org chart. In his writings, Amazon is hierarchical and orderly; Google's structure is clear, its products and departments are intertwined and confused; The Facebook architecture is fragmented, like a broken network; Microsoft's internal Jinshan are king, warlords go deep into the marrow; the Apple is one man, and the other is the man; the huge oracle, bloated Legal department is obviously more important than the engineering department.

It's a fascinating set of graphs, and it's fast becoming popular with the Internet. It was introduced to China on June 29 and was forwarded over 10,000 times on Sina Weibo.

Accordingly, "The first financial weekly" also tried to concocted a China's main technology companies structure map-Baidu, Tencent, Huawei, Lenovo, Alibaba, Sina. As it turns out, they are different in style. Different company growth histories, different business architectures, and different management styles make their architectural diagrams significantly different.

Huawei

Unlike many companies that emphasize organizational stability, Huawei is building a matrix structure that can be changed. In other words, Huawei's product innovations are certainly accompanied by a change in organisational structure, and a major technological innovation occurs every 3 months in Huawei. This is more akin to some kind of entrepreneurial management mechanism. Once opportunities arise, the corresponding departments will quickly attack and seize the opportunity. In this sector, the company's organizational structure has undergone a certain deformation-the process has not changed, but the departments and departments between the number of contacts and content has changed. But this kind of deformation is temporary, when the stage task completes, the entire organization structure will return to the normal.

Alibaba

Can you imagine Alibaba without Jack Ma? In spite of the 2007 Alibaba Business listing, Ma Yun began practicing Taiji, learning Taoism, Wu Yin and yang, but the shadow of Jack Ma in Alibaba seems to be everywhere. Now he has shown a perfect industrial chain to the public. Million network to provide domain names, and tailor-made two sets of Web site interacting and consumer, and then through Alibaba website and Taobao Mall, Taobao Bazaar three platforms, accurate docking of users. Scattered in the national 7个百万 square meters above the Ali warehouse, a number of small warehouses, from the supplier to Ali through the logistics of the size of the warehouse to the flow of data between the user, to include the big Ali strategy of all business. And Ma Yun, as he himself said, "has melted into this company." ”

Sina

Sina's income fell by 3% in 2009. But Sina launched its microblog this year. Less than two years, the product became Sina's most important growth engine, active users over billion, the share price doubled twice times. Analysis Agency on Hai Technology estimates, Sina has 57% of China's microblogging users and China's 87% microblogging activities. All say that Wall Street likes to hear stories, and this time Sina CEO Cao Chao told a tempting story with Twitter. Sina launched with the past products, micro-Bo has the properties of the media also have interactive properties, can occur content, but also a good communication platform. If the previous Sina users most of the browsing-oriented, after watching the walk, then from the micro-Bo began, the user began to precipitate down. The dotted line in the figure is the part that Sina relies on Weibo to draw a piece of pie, but it has not yet been realized. Moreover, it faces the competition of Tencent and Sohu.

Baidu

Baidu's predecessor COO (Chief operating officer) Peng said, "Baidu advocates simplicity." The same can be said of Baidu's organizational structure-Baidu looks like a company that only needs CEOs. The position was vacant for a year before Peng April 2008 as COO. The position has been vacant since he left office in 2010. And looking back to see the history of Baidu's development, COO position has appeared three times a short period of vacuum. The same happened in the CTO position. In 2008, the company also lacked COO, CFO (Chief Financial Officer) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer). Some analysts believe that this is because of internal cleaning and the stock ban expired two forces at the same time attack. But internet watcher Xie that Baidu is looking for senior executives "some mistakes", he suggested that Baidu should be determined to set up the management team, it still needs a 5 to 7 people, each has expertise of the core executive team.

Lenovo

Like many companies, Lenovo hopes to be able to do both the consumer market and the commercial market. The former is a trading business with channel as its core, while the latter is a relational business with large clients as its object. A company at the same time doing these two business, to some extent, like Jin Yong's novels in the Left and right mutual. Lenovo COO Liu June will this analogy to grow guns and swords, want to dance well, we should be in the value chain in all aspects of reasonable distinction and integration, and carefully balance the interests of all parties to resolve the ambiguous areas of conflict easily. For example, compared with the dual mode, Lenovo's domestic production lines, supply chain design also takes into account the major customers and small and medium-sized customers procurement characteristics. Lenovo China has two types of production lines, a kind of so-called "large assembly line", a PC through different processes to assemble many people, this model is suitable for high-volume, large-scale production; for small quantities, many varieties of orders, Lenovo is the use of cell-type production lines, by a worker from beginning to end a PC assembly.

Tencent

Tencent is a puzzling internal and external double world, like a wall, the people inside the walls feel the company is simple and cheerful as the university campus, people outside the wall feel the penguins are fierce and menacing. Reflected in Tencent's business and organizational structure, this contradiction exists everywhere. After several large and small structure adjustment, Tencent will continue to add new departments reclassified into eight large units. Among them, according to the business system divided four business systems-wireless services, Internet services, mutual entertainment business, network media business; In addition, according to the day-to-day operation of the company divided into four support systems-operations support, platform research and development, administration and other functions of the system and the enterprise developing systems. Looks cool, huh? But when you find out Tencent's product and service structure of the comparison will find that Tencent products and departments are inextricably linked. The reason for this is that, as Tencent's magic weapon, QQ is not only the core of instant messaging platform, but also carrying or bundled with many products and services Tencent. Want to know about this? Open any QQ Internet interface to know.
