Introduction
Founded in 1987 in Shenzhen, China, Huawei is a leader of global information and communication technologies (ICT) providers. The revenue of Huawei reached 38 875 millions U.S dollars in 2014 and ranked 285 in the top global 500 companies (Fortune, 2014). Deployed in over 170 countries and regions in the world, Huawei has 150 000 employees who provide services to more than one third of the world 's population (Huawei, 2015). Driven by a customer-centric innovation perspective and opened to partnerships, Huawei’s vision is to enrich life through telecommunication. It has established an end-to-end ICT solutions portfolio, which adds competitive advantages to its customers in telecom, enterprise networks, devices and cloud computing. Huawei is a successful growing company but they are also facing some challenges. Managing human resources in their international divisions and entering the US market are the two main one’s.
A member of our team got the chance to interview Mr. Li, one of the senior managers who has worked in Asia, Europe and Middle East during his professional career. According to his professional experience and point of view, the conservative company’s culture would first be the cause of serious tensions between headquarter in China and subsidiaries. Also, as mentioned in the 2012 Sustainable Report, Huawei must improve its ability to retain talents since it is a critical factor to technological innovation.
Another problem is related to the willingness to sell smartphones in the U.S. Huawei is operating in the U.S since 2001 as a supplier of network equipment for telecom businesses. They are now making smartphones and selling them in Asia, Europe, Canada and Latin America. Huawei now wants to break into the U.S market
