aspects: international market selection strategy, international market entry
strategy and international marketing strategy; it concludes that Alibaba adopts
a diversification strategy in internationalization, and the location selection
and entry mode of internationalization can be summarized as ¡°dual-track¡±. It
is concluded that Alibaba adopts a diversification strategy and its
internationalization strategy can be summarized as a ¡°dual-track system¡±; it
expands abroad with e-commerce as its core in overseas acquisitions; and its
organizational structure, human resources and business structure are adjusted

strengthening brand building, optimizing organizational structure,
