Features: In the era of change, management itself includes change, and change is the practical application of philosophy. Therefore, management calls for philosophy and needs philosophy. The modern transformation of China is also a transformation of management philosophy. Modern Western society understands management from the perspective of enterprises, while China approaches management from philosophy. The Chinese academic field of management is naturally inclined toward management philosophy, and one of the parts of traditional Chinese philosophy with modern influence is precisely management philosophy. In recent years, discussions on value, culture, human nature, knowledge, and other topics have been elevating management philosophy. At the same time, the modern scientific and technological environment is both promoting and constraining management and management philosophy. The core component of "using knowledge to utilize knowledge" in the knowledge economy is essentially the philosophy of knowledge management. Management philosophy is the philosophy of leaders and action, as well as the essence of organizational culture and corporate culture. In management philosophy, the unity of the normative and flexible aspects of management, the integration of collectivism and individuality, the strict technical approach and clever market adaptation, and the combination of scientific management and human-centered management are explained and developed. At the same time, the meaning of philosophy as the "wisdom of wisdom" and methodology is vividly highlighted, allowing people to better appreciate the wisdom, depth, and timelessness of philosophy. This book primarily focuses on the above content, analyzing deep-seated issues in management from perspectives such as the system and organization of management, value, methodology, and knowledge innovation. The book also touches on the philosophy of enterprise and economic management. This book is suitable for senior management personnel, researchers in management or philosophy, students and postgraduate students in related fields, and other interested individuals.
