Hi Quartz members! Today we have an essential roster of Alibaba executives, so you know who’s calling the shots at the fast-growing company. We also have a fascinating photo essay on Singles Day, the largest shopping day in the world and a key part of Alibaba’s growth strategy.
Theres’s still more to come, including:
- A Q&A with an Alibaba expert
- Everything Alibaba owns, on one page
- Charts on Alibaba and its competitors
- And much more
Introducing a new column
We’re excited to start Tipping Points, a new feature for Quartz members about the financial and economic risks we face. Each week, Quartz’s Allison Schrager, a trained economist, will examine how a different event, trend, or condition may reach the point where it impacts our lives (for good or bad). Allison will highlight risks that have been hiding in plain sight—but have the potential to upend entire economies. This week, she’s looking at the rural-urban divide.
Let’s keep learning. Send questions, comments, and door-busting discounts to members@qz.com.
Have a rewarding day,
Sam Grobart
