1、马云在教室节的公开信（open letter）( 后附注释版)Dear Alibaba customers, Aliren, and shareholders,Today, as we mark the 19th anniversary of Alibaba, I am excited to share some news with you: with the approval of our board of directors, one year from today， on September 10, 2019， which also falls on Alibabas 20th anni
2、versary, Group CEO Daniel Zhang will succeed me as chairman of the board of Alibaba Group. While remaining as executive chairman in the next 12 months, I will work closely with Daniel to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Thereafter, I will stay on the Alibaba board of directors until our an
3、nual shareholders meeting in 2020.I have put a lot of thought and preparation into this succession plan for ten years. I am delighted to announce the plan today thanks to the support of the Alibaba Partnership and our board of directors. I also want to offer special thanks to all Alibaba colleagues
4、and your families, because your trust, support and our joint enterprise over the past 19 years have prepared us for this day with confidence and strength. This transition demonstrates that Alibaba has stepped up to the next level of corporate governance from a company that relies on individuals, to
5、one built on systems of organizational excellence and a culture of talent development. When Alibaba was founded in 1999, our goal was to build a company that could make China and the world proud and one that could last 102 years. However, we all knew that no one could stay with the company for 102 y
6、ears. A sustainable Alibaba would have to be built on sound governance, culture-centric philosophy, and consistency in developing talent. No company can rely solely on its founders. Of all people, I should know that. Because of physical limits on ones ability and energy, no one can shoulder the resp
7、onsibilities of chairman and CEO forever. We asked ourselves this question 10 years ago how could Alibaba achieve sustainable growth after Jack Ma leaves the company? We believed the only way to solve the problem of corporate leadership succession was to develop a system of governance based on a uni
8、que culture and mechanisms for developing consistent talent and successors. For the last 10 years, we kept working on these ingredients.Having been trained as a teacher, I feel extremely proud of what I have achieved. Teachers always want their students to exceed them, so the responsible thing to do
9、 for me and the company to do is to let younger, more talented people take over in leadership roles so that they inherit our mission “to make it easy to do business anywhere.“ Carrying out this mission in order to help small businesses, young people and women around the world is my passion. This is
10、not only our intent from Day One butI feel blessed to have this opportunity. To realize the dream behind this mission requires participation by a lot more people than just Jack Ma and persistent effort by generations of Aliren.Alibaba is amazing not because of our business or scale or accomplishment
11、s. The best thing about Alibaba is that we come together under a common mission and vision. Our partnership system, unique culture and talented team have laid a strong foundation for the legacy遗 产 of our company. In fact, since I handed over the CEOs responsibilities in 2013, the company has run smo
12、othly for five years on the back of these institutional 制 度 化 了 的 ingredients.The partnership system we developed is a creative solution to good governance and sustainability, as it overcomes several challenges faced by companies of scale: continuous innovation, leadership succession, accountability
13、 and cultural continuity. Over the years, in iterating 不断完善 our management model, we have experimented with and improved on the right balance between systems and individuals. Simply relying on individuals or blindly following a system will not solve our problems. To achieve long-term sustainable gro
14、wth, you need the right balance among system, people and culture. I have full confidence that our partnership system and efforts to safeguard our culture will in time win over the love and support from customers, employees and shareholders.Since the founding of the company in 1999, we have been hold
