Abstract
Emerging market companies create new management practices for an environment characterized by increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). We show how Haier developed a platform of management practices called Rendanheyi to transform itself from a conventional hierarchical manufacturing firm to a highly responsive online-based entrepreneurial company. We demonstrate how the organizational, competitive, institutional, and technological contexts mattered for the development of Rendanheyi, showing how context dependent management innovations are created to allow emerging market firms like Haier to deal with a high VUCA world and creating an extended process model of management innovation that managers can readily apply
