Annika will present on her experiences with how Chinese management principles, based on agility philosophy, has been applied in the transformation of an over 100-year-old American company. In 2016, Haier acquired GE Appliances, a proud American company that was once a flagship division of the General Electric Company. After Haier’s acquisition, all of GEA became a proving ground for the introduction and ongoing refinement of the Chinese RenDanHeyi model. This unique story is told here in comprehensive form. Ingrained with the story are lessons and implications for managers everywhere, who may wish to transform their whole companies and instead of adding new processes and practices, implement a whole new management system for agility and innovation.
