Abstract
Chinadotcom, which was started in the late 1990s, had been the pioneer in China''s Internet business. It was the first Chinese portal to be listed on Nasdaq. However, with the global slowdown of the Internet industry in 2001, Chinadotcom''s revenues declined rapidly. This prompted the company to shift its focus from being an Internet portal to software development and outsourcing businesses. In 2003, Chinadotcom clocked a profit of $16 million against a loss of $18 million in the previous year. The case enables the reader to understand how Chinadotcom successfully transformed itself from a web portal to an enterprise software provider and mobile applications company.
