Abstract
The Midea Group, a large family-controlled, publicly traded company was one of China's largest household appliance manufacturers and widely considered a market leader. Founder He Xiangjian grew the small plastics production company he created in 1968 and turned it into a successful household appliance manufacturer that went public in 1993 as 'Guangdong Midea Electric Appliances Co Ltd' It was Xiangjian's firm belief that family should only exercise an ownership role and not be involved with managing the company. He himself resigned from the Midea Group board in 2012, naming a non-family member as his successor. The seven members of the senior management team were all professional managers and held Midea Group shares with voting rights.
