Abstract
A surprising thing happened during a recent CCTV’s China Economic Person of the Year award ceremony, a “wager” between two of China’s electronic giants, Gree and Xiaomi. This in turn led many to consider the challenges facing Chinese manufacturers during in the Internet age as well as their strategies as they adapt to the new social Internetworking era. One of the difficulties that the Internet puts on these types of enterprises is how to establish the relations with users on a large scale. Through this case study, an online community-built strategy will be explored as well as the new challenges business expansion entailed.
