Wanda Group has attached huge importance to the publication of its first series of textbooks on commercial real estate, which they began planning and preparing for almost 5 years ago.  The textbooks started out as internal training manuals for employees of Wanda Commercial Properties. When the Wanda Institute opened in 2012, the textbooks were amended into a series of training materials for the institute's employees. In response to the number of commercial real estate books that flooded the market in 2013, Wanda Group Chairman Wang Jianlin began focusing on creating a Wanda Group Commercial Real Estate Series to combine Wanda Group's existing training materials with additional information on Wanda's businesses and valuable industry expertise. After two years in the making, the books were finally completed on March 2014.

Wang Jianlin said that publishing a book must only be done at the highest possible level. As the leader and most experienced player in th✨e industry, Wanda has a responsibility to share their knowledge w♔ith other companies and individuals engaged in this industry, so that they can learn from our past mistakes and save on unneeded tuition fees.

Dean of Tsinghua University School of Architecture Zhuang Weimin said the books contained detailed information on the execution of Wanda's business model for investment, construction, operations and management in the commercial real estate industry and is filled with valuable references and knowledge that provide genuine educational value.

Director of the China Shopping Center Development Association Guo Zengli said that the circulation of the Wanda series means that there is now a systematic set of reference books for China's commercial real estate and shopping center industries, which are extremely valuable to students as well as to industry professionals.
