Features: This book is an innovative work that comprehensively elaborates on postmodern enterprise management theory, marking an important breakthrough in modern enterprise management theory. It spans disciplines such as management, economics, cultural studies, and philosophy, representing the culmination of the collision between postmodern theory, new economic theory, and contemporary new management thought. Author Zhang Yi argues that concepts such as "new economy," "knowledge economy," "virtual enterprise," and "digital enterprise" cannot fully capture the essence of the contemporary and future economy and enterprises. Only postmodern enterprises can fulfill this historical mission. The book provides a relatively comprehensive exposition of the postmodern enterprise management paradigm, delving into topics such as the connotation of postmodern enterprises, their organizational models, operational models, governance models, cultural models, and even the leader models, power dynamics, and ethics of postmodern enterprises. As a specialized work in the field of global postmodern enterprise and management research, this book represents a groundbreaking advancement. It holds significant guiding value in addressing practical management challenges under the conditions of the knowledge economy and economic globalization. For Chinese enterprises that are fully implementing modern enterprise systems, this book holds particular practical significance. It will enable Chinese enterprises to deeply recognize that, in the context of postmodern society, the modernization of Chinese enterprises, much like the modernization of Chinese society, will essentially be "postmodernization." Therefore, the major historical task Chinese enterprises face in management must essentially be a dual transformation—from the classical management paradigm to the modern management paradigm and then to the postmodern management paradigm.
