2013年1月10日，阿里巴巴集團在杭州宣布，為了面對未來復雜的商業系統生態化趨勢，以及無線互聯網帶來的機會和挑戰，同時讓組織能夠更加靈活的進行協同和創新，集團現有業務架構和組織將進行相應調整，成立25個事業部，具體事業部的業務發展將由各事業部總裁（總經理）負責。 阿里巴巴集團董事局主席馬云在隨后向全體員工發出的信件中作出詮釋說，本次組織變革的方向是把公司拆成“更多”小事業部運營，“給更多的阿里年輕領導者創新發展的機會，我們不僅僅需要看見相關業務的發展和他們團隊、個人的成長，我們更希望看到他們各自的小事業部可以把我們的商業生態系統變得更加透明、開放、協同、分享，更加美好”。 “阿里今天的商業生態系統也不是阿里的，她是社會的，是未來中國商業健康發展必須的基礎建設”，馬云表示，“我們希望各事業部不局限于自己本身的利益和KPI，而以整體生態系統中各種群的健康發展為重，能夠對產業或其所在行業產生變革影響；真正使我們的生態系統更加市場化，平臺化，數據化和物種多樣化，最終實現‘同一個生態，千萬家公司’的良好社會商業生態系統”。 上述事業部將會承擔阿里集團內同類型業務整合、拓展的任務，打通子公司或事業群間界限，使阿里的商業生態系統建設從上到下一以貫之。 阿里巴巴集團表示，此次調整的核心在于，確保以電子商務為驅動的新商業生態系統全面形成，以及適應互聯網快速變革所帶來的機遇和挑戰，從戰略到運營層面為阿里巴巴集團的健康、穩定和可持續發展提供保障。 馬云說，“變革不是一時的，而是時時的。在信息時代，變化才是最好的穩定。與其我們天天抱怨今天的商業環境，與其我們天天在現實社會里爭議市場經濟和計劃經濟的利弊，不如我們用互聯網這個工具來參與變革和建設的行動。因為我們堅信，在互聯網的環境里，商業社會會更加透明，誠信和健康。在大數據的時代里，市場經濟的思想和計劃經濟的手段將有可能完美統一。建設性的破壞遠遠比破壞性建設來的有用，遠遠比抱怨和空談來的更有價值。今天我們宣布的組織變革只是我們這幾年來變革完善的一部分，也是未來我們完善變革的開始”。 “把大公司拆成小公司運營，我們給市場，給競爭者更多挑戰我們的機會，同樣是給我們自己機會。我們永遠堅持，各事業部以客戶和用戶利益最大化為目標，因為只有他們的利益最大化，才有我們自己的利益和存在的價值”，馬云說，這次的拆分“我們希望組織結構松而不散，匯報給誰以及權力有多大不重要，但人和事，熱愛和責任，信任和協同顯得越來越重要。我們希望阿里人一起努力把他們個個變成小而美、對生態發展有重大作用的群體”。 這亦是阿里巴巴集團一直強調的“建設商業生態系統而不是商業帝國”的思想在組織結構上的落地實施。 基于上述構筑商業生態系統的需要，阿里巴巴集團的原有業務決策和執行體系亦將發生變革，新體系由戰略決策委員會（由董事局負責）和戰略管理執行委員會（由CEO負責）構成。集團戰略管理執行委員會成員中的姜鵬、張勇、張宇、吳泳銘、張建鋒、陸兆禧、王堅、葉朋、吳敏芝代表集團層面，分別分管相關聯的業務事業部。 阿里巴巴集團表示，接下來會公布25個事業部的總裁（總經理）名單，新組織構將具備更大的決策權和更靈活的市場反應體系，強化獨立業務的活力和創造力，使之在管理和運營上更有效率和成長性，并能從中不斷的發現人才，為阿里巴巴集團培養出未來的領導者團隊。 2012年初，阿里巴巴集團宣布，將進入為期三年的“修生養性”期，在此期間，阿里巴巴針對未來市場變化和產業升級所進行的各項調整均已在進行之中。 In January 10, 2013, Alibaba Group announced in Hangzhou, in order to face the ecological trend of future business system is complex, and wireless Internet brings the opportunity and challenge, also let the organization can be more flexible for collaboration and innovation, existing business structure and organization will be adjusted accordingly, the establishment of 25 division, the division of business development president by each department ( General Manager) is responsible for.Make Alibaba Group chairman of the board Ma Yun issued to all staff in the subsequent letters explained, the direction of organizational change is the company split into " more " small business operators to Ali, " young leaders in innovation and development of more opportunities, we not only need to see the relevant business and development team, the individual growing up, we hope to see more of their own small business to business ecosystem we become more transparent, open, cooperation, sharing, more beautiful "."The business ecosystem Ali today nor Ali, she is the society, is the future of Chinese commercial health development must base construction, " Ma said, " we hope that each department is not confined to their own interests and KPI, and the healthy development of the population as a whole in the ecosystem is heavy, can produce impact of the change on the industry or the industry; really make our ecosystem more market-oriented, platform, data and species diversity, and ultimately ' a good ecological, social and commercial ecosystem of millions of companies ' ".The division will undertake the Ali group within the same type of business integration, expansion of the task, through subsidiaries or group boundaries, so that the construction of commercial ecosystem Ali from top to bottom one principle runs through it all.Alibaba group said, this adjustment is the core, to ensure that the electronic commerce as fully formed new business ecosystem driven, and the opportunities and challenges brought to Internet rapid change, from the strategic to operational level, the Alibaba group health, stability and sustainable development to provide protection.Ma Yun said, " change is not temporary, but from time to time.
