Recommendation

More and more Chinese Internet giants like JD.com have set up R&D centers in Silicon Valley to keep up with the latest trends and innovations in the hi-tech industry. In this interview conducted by Chou Hsiao Lin, JD.com chief technology officer Zhang Chen talks about how his firm acquires top talent in Silicon Valley and what it’s like to work at JD.com compared with American rivals. However, Zhang doesn’t mention the talent retention strategies of other companies and doesn't explore whether all Chinese Internet giants could benefit from recruiting international talent rather than scouting primarily Chinese workers. getAbstract recommends this article to business leaders interested in the talent development strategies of Chinese Internet giants in Silicon Valley.

Take-Aways

  • Many Chinese Internet giants including JD.com have set up R&D centers in Silicon Valley.
  • Chinese Internet companies can solve the glass ceiling problem that many minority men and women face in US companies by providing more opportunities for personal development.
  • Due to patriotism, Chinese talent may prefer to work for Chinese Internet companies.
