Innovation brought by the entrepreneur:
In August 1993, Kingdee was founded with 20 employees. The new venture focused on the development of the first Chinese accounting software for Microsoft Windows and successfully introduced its proprietary product to Shenzhen firms in 1995. With a limited local user market, Xu began to establish branches outside Shenzhen that served as a base for direct marketing. With a new capital injection, Kingdee was able to invest in the emerging ERP market segment and gain a first-mover advantage with its flagship K/3 ERP product in 1998. Xu has worked on strengthening Kingdee’s product offerings which have established a firm position for the company as the ERP solution provider among manufacturing firms in Southern China.
