武汉商业体制改革在全国商业中是首当其冲。市政府采取了以“两通”(流通,交通)为突破口,敞开三镇大门,发展开放式经营,充分发挥城市多功能作用。开拓改革的新路,创立新的组织形式,打破纵向管理体制,推进跨省市横向联合,使各企业在竞争中各显神通。国务院提出要发展横向经济联合,坚持以“扬长避短,形式多样,且利互惠,共同发展”的原则,“商业管理委员会”所属系统结成多种多样横向经济联合体。如武汉商场与全国十一个大城市的十四家国营大型零售商场自愿结合组成的 Wuhan’s commercial system reform is the first to bear the brunt of the nation’s business. The municipal government adopted the “two links” (traffic and traffic) as a breakthrough point, opened the doors of the three towns, and developed open management to give full play to the multi-functional role of the city. Open up new roads for reform, create new forms of organization, break down vertical management systems, and promote cross-provincial and horizontal alliances, so that each company will show its best in competition. The State Council proposes to develop horizontal economic alliances and adhere to the principle of “strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses, diversifying forms, benefiting from each other, and developing together”. The system of the “Commercial Management Committee” forms a variety of horizontal economic alliances. Such as the voluntary combination of the Wuhan shopping mall and 14 state-owned large-scale retail malls in 11 big cities in the country.
