Reviews

I am impressed by the level of detail provided on such a complex organization like Haier. I have learned so much new information. I am still processing a lot of it, but I have already identified ways to apply what I have learned to my own organization.
Haier has always been a source of inspiration for me, but I never truly understood how they operate in practice. Now, I finally feel like I have a good grasp on it, although there are still some aspects that I am not entirely clear on.
Wow, I am impressed by the amount of insights you have gathered! I absolutely love it and have gained a lot of knowledge on how to effectively break down the traditional hierarchical management structure.
