“ After working in e-commerce for over a decade , I ’ ve learned two very important things ,” says Xu . “ First , e-commerce growth is non-linear . If you only focus on year-overyear trends , you might trap leaders into thinking the digital space is a fad , not a force . As a result , leaders will over-invest in one year and under-invest in another . You have to be persistent and play the long game . Second , e-commerce always ties back to the end-user . Regardless of where you are in the value chain , always be in tune with the consumer .” BW
