How Can Meituan Compete with Alibaba? And Prepare for Next Gen Services Marketplaces? (27)

In this class, I talk about Meituan and the evolution toward more advanced types of services marketplaces.

You can listen here or at iTunes, Google Podcasts and Himalaya.

What Should Meituan Do?:

1. Geographic expansion
2. Focus on transportation services (i.e., Didi)
3. Focus on hospitality services (i.e., Ctrip)
4. Jump into an ancillary opportunity: Financial Services or Cloud Services
5. Advance into more complicated services (i.e., market networks)
