Jack Ma on innovation

Intelligent people need a fool to lead them. When the team's all a bunch of scientists, it is best to have a peasant to lead the way. He thinks differently. It's easier to win if you have people seeing things from different perspectives.

Our hiring process is legendary. We have hiring committees that are checked by other committees. An engineering candidate talks to an average of eight engineers. I talked to 20 people before I was hired. I'll ask candidates who aren't engineers how to build a Web crawler. The right answer doesn't matter. I want to hear you think the problem through, because the odds are good that since we're an innovative company, you're not going to know how to do what you're going to be asked to do. You're going to have to figure it out.

virtual teams = teams + electronic links + groupware
