Taobao, part of the Alibaba Group, is China’s
largest online shopping website.
Here follows the three-act story of its evolution since
it began in 2003….
![Page 3: Tabobao Reinventing (E-)Commerce](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589de3b61a28ab773b8b4a47/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

With a growing middle class and Internet connectivity, Taobao sees an opportunity to boost commerce by connecting Chinese consumers
and sellers online.

But lack of trust and a largely missing infrastructure create
challenges…

Sellers discover an opportunity to create a business and become
micro-entrepreneurs with a set of “business-like” jobs, pains and
gains.
