Alibaba Group detailed plans to split into six independent units with the stated aim of making its operations more agile, though an analyst noted the move also potentially indicated an attempt to appease China's government following moves to reform the online sector. In a statement, Alibaba noted the new organisational and governance structure will boost its decision making and speed of response to changing market conditions, moves it expects to boost innovation. But Richard Windsor, founder of research blog Radio Free Mobile, argued the reorganisation had more to do with giving the government better visibility and control over the wide range of Alibaba's activities. He asserted the upside for the government is being able to monitor and influence each of the six units indvidually. Windsor believes the restructuring puts Alibaba in a good position to "enjoy a substantial recovery in value".
