Abstract
This case study examines Zuoyebang's strategic evolution from an online education platform to a leader in intelligent education hardware amidst transformative industry shifts and regulatory challenges in China. Founded by Hou Jianbin in 2015 as a spinoff from Baidu, Zuoyebang initially focused on providing K12 students with homework assistance. Overcoming industry crises and regulatory changes, the company pivoted towards developing AI-powered learning devices, leveraging its extensive data resources and market insights. The case details Zuoyebang's strategic decisions, including extensive financing rounds, workforce expansion to over 30,000 employees, and the launch of successful intelligent hardware products. It also explores future directions, such as expanding offline sales channels and continuous product innovation, highlighting Zuoyebang's adaptation to market demands and technological advancements in the education sector.
