XYZ Corporation is a traditional reputation retail commercial corporation. Under the pressure of the online trading wave, the Board of XYZ Corporation had to reform to survive. They decided to set up an e-commerce
startup, named as "e-XYZ" in order to collaborate and support XYZ Corporation' traditional commercial
operations. The Board has assigned Mr. Lê Hoàng Minh, the CIO of XYZ Corporation, in charge of the Chairman
of e-XYZ. Mr. Minh now needs to clarify the vision, mission and/or the strategic development plan of this own eXYZ.
e-XYZ should mobilize the Human Resources from former XYZ' employees in combination with the new
candidates from outside. Minh would like to establish a plan (named as “Gen X – plan”) to extensively change the
culture and structure of e-XYZ FinTech toward an open, innovative, creative organization.
