Xiangdu: Sucession of Entrepreneurial Spirit
內容大綱
This case discusses the question of the inheritance of power and entrepreneurial spirit in the family run Xinjiang Yier High Technique Agriculture Company and its wine brand and subsidiary Xinjiang Xiangdu Winery Co. Ltd. (Xiangdu). In 1998, the company’s founder took her family to break new ground for growing grapes in the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert. In 2002, she founded Xiangdu, and the company’s focus gradually shifted from grape growing to wine making and upgrading the grape processing infrastructure. In June 2016, having reached age 65, the founder called a senior management meeting to discuss a number of challenges that Xiangdu was facing. After her departure, could Xiangdu continue to achieve great success? Should the founder fulfill her husband’s last wish to make Xiangdu a public company? How should Xiangdu move forward?
