Abstract :
Alibaba is the largest global electronic marketplace (GEM) in the world in terms of its participated users. It was successful due to the factors of China´s foreign trade regime, the image of low product cost of China, Alibaba´s contingent adaptation to users´ changing requirements and e-commerce environments. Alibaba is not a technically mature GEM platform compared with the ideal functions of GEM. Suggested solution for Alibaba to continuing its success is to adopt a novel GEM connectivity model
