China's Disruptors: How Alibaba, Xiaomi, Tencent, and Other Companies Are Changing the Rules of Business

Not recommended.

The author seemed overly concerned with describing ‘China’s Disruptors’ as a monolithic unit. The entire narrative was surface level, like reading a bunch of business magazine articles. The author didn’t indicate a strong grasp of the industries he was describing. One example was his comparing Xiaomi’s software releases to Huawei’s hardware releases as if they were the same thing. Other descriptions of Xiaomi did not align with my understanding from talking to employees at the company. A much better book to read in the same vein is [b:Alibaba’s World: How a Remarkable Chinese Company is Changing the Face of Global Business|23014882|Alibaba’s World How a Remarkable Chinese Company is Changing the Face of Global Business|Porter Erisman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1428639304l/23014882.SY75.jpg|42580970].
