Features: This series on problem management, led by Dr. Sun Jiwei, China's first expert in problem management, is based on existing achievements in problem management both domestically and internationally. The problem management expert team combines years of practical experience and systematic research to explain the theory and application of "problem management" in an accessible manner. The series is characterized by its originality, practicality, engaging style, and systematic approach. With humorous language, unique perspectives, and a straightforward style, the author brings the emerging management paradigm of "problem management" to life in a simple and vivid way, giving it a sense of "substance and style."
"Problem management" is a simple yet effective management model. The theory of problem management holds that problems are in enterprises, and excellent companies do not necessarily have fewer problems than ordinary ones. Everyone can identify some scattered issues, but it is not easy to identify the key problems among them. Therefore, with a systematic perspective, professional methods, and a relentless pursuit to the root causes, individuals with the corresponding authority and ability may not have an accurate understanding of the problems. Thus, appropriately expressing the problem and ensuring that the solution is accepted by leadership is more important than merely identifying the problem.
The methods for solving problems vary depending on the situation. When addressing problems, it is not only necessary to treat the symptoms but also to address the people, resources, and willingness involved. This book is suitable for managers in enterprises and social public institutions, students of management-related disciplines, as well as educators and researchers.
