In 1983, Springfield Re Company was founded in the United States. It was a company primarily engaged in repairing used engines. Due to adopting a unique and highly effective corporate management system (including open-book management, corporate competitions, owner culture, and grand consultations), the company's profits grew at an astonishing rate, creating a miracle in the history of American business and earning the title of the "Mecca of Management" from Business Week. Hundreds of business professionals visit the company each year to study its management system. Springfield Company holds dozens of seminars annually, eager to share its experience with those in a hurry. Many famous companies have already started using this system or parts of it. The open-book management pioneered by Springfield Re Company has become a well-known management method in the global business world.
The newly released The Great Business Game and The Great Business Culture are complementary sister books, both written by Jack Stack, the designer of this system and the president of Springfield Re Company. The Great Business Game explains from the perspective of the company's operational timeline how to implement open-book management, conduct corporate competitions, hold grand consultations, and provide detailed information on bonus schemes, etc. The Great Business Culture, on the other hand, explains from the perspective of corporate culture how to educate employees to think and act like owners, how to implement effective shared stockholder equity programs, how to encourage continuous learning at all levels of the organization, how to inspire employee competitiveness, how to strengthen the concept of leadership and its representatives being responsible for the company, and how to build a workforce that acts quickly and is always ready to seize opportunities, etc. Compared to traditional Western business systems, the corporate system established by Springfield Re Company has significant differences, and the huge impact this new business model has had in Western business circles also partly illustrates that the business operations introduced in these two books are worth considering and learning from by all Chinese entrepreneurs.
