Haier - Overview

Pim de Morree
Written by Pim de Morree August 01, 2019

Ever since our first visit to Haier in 2017, we've been researching the company in great detail. Our current collaboration with Haier focuses on researching its way of working and sharing it with individuals and organizations around the world. On this page, you'll find an overview of content and how you can learn more from Haier.

Case study course

By far the best way to learn about Haier and its RenDanHeyi model is through our online course 'How Haier Works'. You'll learn directly from Haier founder Zhang Ruimin and many of the employees who flourish within the company's unique management structure.

Check out the course here.

Book

Our book, Start-up Factory, is a deep dive into Haier and its revolutionary RenDanHeYi model. For more information on the book, click here.
