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.

Corporate Rebels Academy

In our Academy, Haier is one of the pioneering case studies. We will explore in detail how the company works and what other organizations can learn from their 'Rendanheyi' model.
