Alibaba to Split Into Six Groups and Explore IPOs in a Departure From Jack Ma Era
阿里巴巴告别马云时代：集团将拆分为六大业务公司，各公司分别寻求IPO
By Raffaele Huang and Clarence Leong
Chinese e-merce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. said it plans to split itself into six independently run panies that could seek separate IPOs， effectively dismantling a business empire built over two decades by charismatic entrepreneur Jack Ma just as the tycoon reappeared in China.
中国电商巨头阿里巴巴表示，集团计划拆分为六家独立运营的公司，各公司可能会分别寻求上市。此举意味着，刚刚重返中国的魅力型企业家马云20多年来打造的商业帝国将在事实上走向分散。
Alibaba's restructuring culminates a yearslong shift inside the pany to make it more nimble after Mr. Ma stepped back from the pany's helm in 2019.“If you don’t change yourself， you will be defeated by the times，“ Alibaba Chairman and Chief Executive Daniel Zhang said in a letter to employees.
2019年，马云宣布卸任，不再执掌公司事务。此后阿里内部经历了长达数年的改革以提高组织灵活度，而本次重组将为这一转型画上句号。阿里巴巴董事长兼首席执行官张勇（Daniel Zhang）在致员工的一封信中说道：“如果不改变自身，就会被时代打败。”
Under the restructuring， Alibaba's various businesses will be split up into six major areas: cloud puting， Chinese e-merce， global e-merce， digital mapping and food delivery， logistics， and media and entertainment. Those business groups will be allowed to raise external capital and seek initial public offerings when they are ready. Its domestic merce business will remain a wholly owned unit of Alibaba.
根据重组计划，阿里巴巴的各类业务将被分为六大领域：云计算、国内电商、国际电商、数字地图和外卖、物流以及媒体和娱乐。具备条件的业务集团都将被允许独立融资和寻求上市。其国内的商务业务仍将由阿里巴巴全资拥有。
Mr. Zhang said he saw 2023 as a year of progress for Alibaba. He explained the main reason to reorganize is to improve the sprawling business empire’s organizational efficiency. He said splitting the businesses would make each area more agile to better pete with rivals.
张勇表示，2023年是阿里的进取之年。他解释称，重组阿里的主要原因就是为了提高这个庞杂商业帝国的组织效率。他表示，将业务拆分能够使得每个细分领域更加灵活，以便在与对手较量中更具竞争力。
The move echoes previous sweeping reorganizations by Western tech giants such as Google， which created Alphabet Inc. as a holding pany while separating its growing cast of businesses.
阿里这一举动类似之前西方科技巨头展开的大规模重组，比如谷歌创建了Alphabet作为控股公司，并将越来越多的业务分离出来。
