今天看到一条蛮有趣的消息，讲的是阿里巴巴四位高管离任进修，要说这IT界的人事变动也很正常，但这次发生在阿里上市不久，而且数目不少多达四位，这种大规模的调整高管在互联网业界也的确有些触目惊心了。

 

阿里巴巴官方的说法表示此调整是基于公司干部轮休学习计划，看似很正常，实则不然，看看阿里巴巴上市之后的股价走势大家就一清二楚了。说白了，所谓的学习计划就是变相的认为你能力不够，跟不上公司发展，但因为你是老员工，不可能直接叫你走人，所以就堂而皇之的搞了个换岗，美其名曰要进修。我看所谓的高管调整背后藏匿着三大隐患，让我们一五一十的数出来。

 

一， 阿里巴巴的业务结构

 

首先我们来看看阿里巴巴整个业务结构，阿里巴巴目前有多条产品线，但只有阿里巴巴网站处于盈利状态，而其他产品均为亏损状态，所以阿里巴巴略感有些体力难支，但在未来，阿里巴巴网站仍然是集团重点，但淘宝网可能会是阿里巴巴下一个业务增长点，所以，从这四人的身份看来，其中有一名来自淘宝网的，这就是淘宝网总裁孙彤宇。

 

离职高层的结构反映了阿里巴巴业务结构的问题，当前的阿里巴巴业务已经够多了，还在不但的开辟新的业务，其实很多业务也是“叫好不叫座”，赚不来真金白银，这还不如老打老实的把基础业务做好。

 

二，阿里巴巴的人才结构

 

其次是阿里巴巴的人才结构。众所周知，阿里巴巴有很著名的18罗汉，这18罗汉跟着马云任劳任怨待到现在无一离职，虽然不敢说这批人的能力很弱，但至少也不会太强，我看一个评论说当年的18罗汉大多也不懂互联网，全靠马云忽悠，马云能言善辩，当年马云在哈佛也不就是靠的这种忽悠方法么。但阿里上市了，阿里发达了，客观上对人才的要求更高了，忽悠能解决一时的问题，但毕竟不是长久之计。

 

所以，此次的离任进修就侧面反映了阿里巴巴的人才结构问题，看来，一个土鳖公司要朝国际化公司迈进，人才问题才是首当其冲的问题。正如有的评论员猜测，此次是下面的四个高管，什么时候该轮到马云呢？

 

三， 阿里巴巴的管理结构

 

阿里巴巴的管理结构有没有弊端呢？如果说没有估计连马云都不信，这次离任的高管，具体在公司内负责什么工作，有什么权利外界无法知晓，但从高管调整的情况来看，略感有些混乱。阿里巴巴集团几大业务虽然有共性，但差别也是挺大的，你总不能在这几项业务之间任由调换人员吧，人都有适应期的，何况是这些官居高位的二品大员。

 

这样的代价是巨大的，是沉重的，但马云知道，如果不进行这样的改革，管理上的问题会更多，此四人离任进修，某种程度上也反映了阿里巴巴高层或许存在冗员情况。有时候公司大了，高层多了未免会有打架的情况，甚至不能物尽其用，如何解决呢？只好牺牲一部分人才能保全更多的人。

 

阿里已经上市了，希望不要被上市的繁荣冲昏头脑，此次的高管离任，你说是杯酒释兵权也好，说是为公司培养高级人才也罢甚至是在刺激投资者，无论如何以上几个问题都是无法逃避的，阿里必须正视这些问题才能更上一层楼,同时，真正希望阿里发展好的也必须从表面看到问题的本质，看到阿里身上的缺点。

 

The three hidden troubles ofthe adjustment of Alibaba’s operation group

Today I enjoyed one interesting message.That’s there are four senior operators of Alibaba will resign. Ofcourse it is nature to alternate the operation group. But it is notlong after Alibaba went public and there are as many as four willresign. I think it is a little beyond our imagination to adjust theoperation group at so large scale.

 

The statement of Alibaba suggested thatthe adjustment is based on the study plan of operation group. It isnot one common problem. We can discover the reason from the trendof the stock price. We know the study plan is just because thecorporate executives can’t deserve their duties and can’t getalong with the developing of company, but you are old staff, so itis impossible to fire you. So now it is named “additional study”,but as a matter of fact, it is another kind of “firing”. So nowwe can bring forward three hidden troubles after the adjustment,now let’s check it.

 

The business structure ofAlibaba

 

At first, let’s have a look at thebusiness structure of Alibaba. Alibaba has many product lines. Butjust Alibaba website can be profitable, others are deficit. SoAlibaba is with less and less energy to develop its business.That’s the reason why Alibaba went public. Now let’s check theidentities of the four managers. One is from Taobao, that’s theCEO of Taobao, Tongyu Sun.

 

The structure of the operators hasreflected the problem of business structure. Now there are enoughbusinesses but it is still constructing new business. As we know,many businesses are profitless. I think it is better to improve theexisting business.

 

The person structure of Alibaba

 

The second problem is the person structureof Alibaba. As we know, Alibaba has 18 officers at first. Up tonow, nobody leaves his duty. We can’t discuss their ability but wecan tell that they have not high ability. Some comments suggestthat most of the old officers didn’t understand what is Internetat that time. That attributes to the especial ability of Jack Ma.Jack Ma is so excellent in arguing. Several years ago, Jack Macheated the students and professors in Harvard University. But nowAlibaba went public and it is so prosperous. Generally speaking, itwill require more for the staff. Jack Ma have to search newsolution to solve the problem.

 

So, this event reflects the staff problemof Alibaba. We can see if one native company want to promote to beone international company, the primary problem is staff. Just assome commentators surmise, now it is the four managers to accept“advanced study”, how about Jack Ma?

 

The managerial structure ofAlibaba

 

How about the managerial structure ofAlibaba? If we said that Alibaba is perfect, maybe even Jack Mawon’t believe it. Now we are blind to the task and duty of thefour managers. We even feel so confused。There are some overallcharacters in the businesses of Alibaba but more are difference.You can’t exchange the officers between them because everyoneneeds adaptive phase.

 

The cost is high and oppressive. But JackMa know that if he doesn’t reform, the problem will be more andmore. The “advanced study” reflected that maybe there are someexcess personnels in Alibaba. Sometimes in big companies, if thereare many operation managers, it will obstruct the work. Sometalented can’t release their potential ability. How to solve, justsacrifice some to protect others.

 

Alibaba has gone public. I hope it cankeep cool-headed. You can say it is one kind of “recollect power”or “cultivate senior talents”. It can’t evade the severalproblem which we mentioned just now. Alibaba must face theseproblems and try to solve them. At the same time, if we hopeAlibaba can be better and better, we must point out the weak pointsof Alibaba.
