Jack Ma, the founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba, has said some of his insights about running business and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship for entrepreneurs. He also shared with people how Alibaba has grown into what it is today. As a Hangzhou native, Jack Ma attributes his success to the hard-working ethos and innovative spirits that was instilled in him at a young age.

Jack Ma stresses the role of competitive and innovative ideas while opportunities, in his opinion, are open to those who own those creative thoughts. "There are all kinds of problems every day when you start a new business, and these problems need to be fixed, either by yourself, or by others, because someone has to do it. And those who are able to solve these problems will grasp their opportunity," Ma said.

Ma is encouraging entrepreneurs to have a broader vision and take a wider picture into account in running business. He describes an innovative entrepreneur as being someone who always sets their sights on the future: "Being innovative means you look at today from a viewpoint of tomorrow. We need to look at today's China from a viewpoint of the world, and look at ourselves from the viewpoint of those outside this industry. When you think this way, you will do things in a different way," Ma noted.
