Abstract: Abstract The company of Xiaomi is one of the most successful startup companies in China in the last fifteen years. This article aims to analyze Xiaomi’s management strategies and identify the reasons for Xiaomi’s success. This article mainly studies the strategic planning and execution of Xiaomi in three different periods. By analyzing Xiaomi’s differentiation strategy, cost leadership strategy, and diversification strategy, this article has found some effective measures from its experience. Xiaomi wins customers by continuously providing highly cost-effective products and achieving differentiation advantage in design, customer service, supply chain management, and marketing. When the smartphone business became excessively competitive, Xiaomi expanded its business territory and enhanced brand value through the diversification strategy. From Xiaomi’s case, young startup companies gain inspiration that it is important to focus on a single business sector or process, to apply a differentiation strategy appropriately, to pay more attention to supply chain management, and to learn from and cooperate with great companies.
