Synopsis

The Wanda Way is the definitive account of one of China s most remarkable organizations, the Wanda Group. Its founder and Chairman, Wang Jianlin, turned an $120,000 loan into a $40 billion fortune and is now Asia s wealthiest man according to Forbes magazine. In 1988, Wang founded Dalian Wanda, a property company in the north-eastern Chinese city of Dalian, with the sole purpose to redevelop houses in China's slums. Now, Dalian Wanda is China s largest private property developer, generating revenues of $40 billion globally, and owning some 9-million square meters of investment property. In 2012 Wanda became the world s largest cinema chain operator when, in addition to owning Wanda Cinemas and the Hoyts Group, it acquired AMC Theatres. Today, the group operates three primary businesses: property, culture and finance. In this book, Wang Jianlin provides unprecedented insight into the ethos and activities that have created the extraordinary business success that is the Wanda empire. Wang describes his managerial philosophy and the essence of his business ideas to turn Wanda into a brand that is known by everyone in the world.

About this title

Review:

One of the great entrepreneurs of the early 21st century...Wang reveals in his own words the subtleties of his leadership style. He openly shares how he achieves balance between the old and the new models of management, between envisioning the future and managing the day-to-day, between competitive pressures, consumer trends and political realities. --JOHN A. QUELCH, Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School.

Through this book, we have better access to knowledge about how to be an entrepreneur. This is a very solid reason to thank Wang Jianlin. --DR PEDRO NUENO, President, Chengwei Ventures Chair Professor of Entrepreneurship, CEIBS, China.
