  Haier in the U.S.: Transforming GE Appliances

  Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Jonathan Cohen, Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Jonathan Cohen

  Chinese appliance company Haier's 2016 acquisition of iconic GE Appliances ushered in strategic and structural changes to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship at the U.S. company, and to help it grow. Haier, which had a model designed to bring the company closer to users of its products, wanted GEA to adopt a version of the model that suited the U.S. market, U.S. consumers, and GEA's employees. This case describes GEA's efforts to do that as a member of the Haier Group.
