The Haier Model: Rendanheyi, Microenterprises, Microcommunities and Ecosystems. Their unique way of working is surrounded by all kinds of what can be complicated language. It takes time and effort to truly understand how this company works.

Luckily, we've collaborated with Haier for years. We now have an in-depth understanding of their unique approach to work.
