It's not a good time.

July 5, Ali Group announced that the original "Poly cost-effective" general manager Shanli for bribery of non-state workers were detained by Hangzhou police, case investigation is underway. In March this year, Shanli removed the managing director, Ali Group said: Because Shanli in the management of the cost of the group has been a major dereliction of duty behavior.

Alibaba (micro-blog) group has a rumor: "To get rich, when small two." Shanli is typical.

Ali inside, first rich people divided into three batches, the first batch of Alibaba start-up staff and join Alibaba earlier employees. Alibaba (Business-to-business) successfully listed in Hong Kong in November 2007, creating the first batch of new rich class, the second is a front-line sales of Alibaba employees, the third batch is rich Taobao small two.

For the first and second batch of new Rich class, the remaining staff are convinced. The first batch of employees as the "creation of the world" of the veteran, can be described as "work into the body on", sales of front-line employees as a "conquer" of the hero, is "deserved", and the treasure of rich Taobao small two caused a variety of criticism, that this is Ali's "system missing"

In the past year, Ma Yun (micro-blog) has experienced the "hard years" since the start, the Wei incident, Taobao fakes, Alipay (micro-bo) vie storm, "October siege", Ali experienced unprecedented questioning. 2012 is Ali "Re-innovation Bureau" one year, Alibaba privatization, repurchase Yahoo Equity, the introduction of CIC shareholders, the group's overall IPO, Ali seemingly unlimited prospects.

Hundreds of billions of empires are in sight, but corruption makes Jack Ma alarming, this will let the company's vision of the loss of a feed.

Access to judicial proceedings

Shanli may never have thought that he would be arrested.

After Shanli's dismissal in March of the corruption case, rumours were that it would be expelled from the company. All the small two, including Shanli themselves, thought that this was the heaviest punishment. Subsequently, Shanli stayed in the company and gave an executive assistant. The people who secretly observed the progress were relieved: it was over.

But July 5 Shanli was arrested, these people's heart again suspended.

Shaoxiao, Alibaba Group secretary general and chief risk officer of Alibaba Group, has made it clear that the solution to corruption is to "heavy" and achieve "corruption 0 tolerance". In fact, in addition to internal processing, Ali also began to transfer corrupt personnel to the judiciary.

According to Xiaofeng revealed: 2011 to 2012 May, the total number of Alibaba to the judicial authorities to hand over Taobao second and outsourced personnel, at the same time, involved in the investigation of the network operators have entered the judicial process.

Alibaba, the head of the Shanfang for example, said that there is a hole surnamed employees, December 30, 2011 was Alibaba dismissed, dismissed when the verification has received business interests, but the amount is not enough to file. "With the deepening of this year's integrity investigation, we got more clues that the amount he charged has exceeded the bottom line." So after the dismissal of his 2 months, the police filed for investigation, and finally in his hometown will be arrested. ”

At the beginning of May, Taobao issued the open letter to businessmen, calling on the network to jointly monitor and fight against improper benefits, and safeguard the integrity of the system. The open letter said that the network of members trying to obtain improper benefits through various means, once reported or verified, will close the shop, and, as appropriate, transferred to the judicial organs, to hold their legal responsibility.

In the open letter, Taobao released the first list of shops that had been closed for improper interests.

At the beginning of June, Xiaofeng, the chief risk officer of Alibaba Group, led the rectification movement of "one dozen and three guarantees", namely "fight against corruption, protect market environment, protect good faith merchant, protect Alibaba Group".

Xiaofeng said, with Ali integrity of the Ministry of Foreign official appearance, and to the corruption-related acts of a series of severe blows, the relevant personnel niusong public security organs, the results of social publicity and other work, Alibaba Group, especially Taobao part of the second and outside stores, suspected of improper transfer of interest has been significantly contained, The path to Taobao's infiltration of external corruption has been largely cut off.

For example, the number of calls, emails and complaints about corruption has dropped by nearly 90%. Shao believes that "Ali anti-corruption measures have achieved a phased outcome."

Xiaofeng said: "Tens of billions of dollars in the value of the industrial chain, there is no corrosion of our bacteria is impossible." The key is our attitude. He summed up the current Ali anti-corruption achieved four aspects of the effect: one is the internal anti-corruption, the second is the ecological chain purge, the third is the system construction, four is the rectification (also known as cultural purification).

System Firewall

Shaoxiao that only "corruption 0 tolerance" attitude is far from enough, but also need institutional construction.

The primary work of system construction is the systematic carding of resources. For example, the flow of resources, according to the business scene, can be divided into commercial, non-commercial, non-commercial and can be divided into the management, not management, the management can be divided into public resources, private resources and so on. Shao said "This work is nearly complete." The inventory of resources means that companies can find out where it is easy to generate benefits and focus on them.

Second, the company's internal management operations open and transparent, the next small two will have "Operation Log full record", the work process transparent. For example, "seller file call times", "increase the number of categories of attributes Click", "the most complaints" and so on, all have records, can be traced back. Once the small two behavior violation, the system can be early warning.

It is the marketization, transparency and impartiality of the external work flow. For example, the business registration to participate in activities, the next Taobao platform will try two modes: first, Taobao small two artificial determination of the steering system (machine) to determine; Second, some of the resources marketization, by the merchant bidding.

Shaoxiao For example, for example, "Daily specials" of the Merchant screening has all adopted machine selection, by the system to ensure fairness. "Because Taobao commodity is rich, even if some goods must be determined by individuals who are qualified to participate in activities, but also to do as much as possible to achieve 90% of the standard can be transparent and public to tell everyone."

At the same time, after making a judgment, waiter should leave a basis for judgment so that it can be traced back later.

Wang Xiangdong, director of the Center for Information Research at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that in a sense Ali was doing now to make anti-corruption an intrinsic mechanism rather than a movement.

Xiaofeng said that we must gradually improve the business model and management model on the basis of strengthening the market mechanism to minimize the soil of corruption.

As early as 2009, Alibaba Group promulgated "Alibaba business code of conduct", during which the financial interests, related transactions and even accept gifts, hospitality, etc. have made detailed provisions. 2010, Alibaba set up a group integrity department, opened a special reporting channel to investigate effective cases, increase the crackdown on corruption. At the same time to the executive at all levels to implement the "sit system", once found problems, the direct superior must bear the corresponding responsibility.

After the deal and the second corruption case, March 9, 2012, Alibaba Group announced that the group will be the entire group involved in all of its subsidiaries of the 22 senior management cadres in the round hillock.

In addition, Shaoxiao also said that the establishment of anti-corruption system also needs to strengthen cooperation with various government departments, especially the judiciary. Because almost all issues involving corruption must involve both internal and external factors, companies can strengthen management internally, but external factors require external forces.
