How did Jack Ma, a teacher with no business training, become one of China's - indeed, the world's - most successful entrepreneurs?
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's business editor Kamal Ahmed looks at the man behind the online retail giant Alibaba Group - a company described as a mix between Amazon and Ebay - which is due to list on the New York Stock Exchange later this month, making Alibaba one of the most valuable internet companies in the world.
