Features: "The purpose of training is action, not knowledge." This means that the implementers of training must possess extensive practical experience, and the teaching materials they hold should be a systematic accumulation of case studies from their long-term engagement in practical management work. Only in this way can they teach by example, providing the practical operational guidelines that trainees truly need. Mr. Li Shouming, with his rich hands-on experience, has compiled this book, which is designed to address the needs of corporate trainees and fulfill their desires for learning. It will enable middle-level managers to personally experience the value of management in actual work, thereby building confidence in management and achieving the goal of self-training.
In today's highly competitive market, simply having a cost advantage is insufficient; the key lies in increasing the added value of the industry. High added value relies on two forces: technical capability and management capability. The importance of technical capability is self-evident, as everyone has experienced its impact firsthand. With widespread consensus and full commitment across the organization, some concrete results have already been achieved. As for improving management capability, there are two urgent areas for breakthrough: ① Theories may be profound, but they lack practical applicability, failing to be effectively implemented in routine management work to ensure management performance that contributes to the company across all levels and functions. ② Chinese enterprises still lag behind advanced countries like the U.S. and Japan in terms of operational scale and development stage. For example, some of the management challenges and know-how we face are issues that advanced companies encountered several years ago. Therefore, in management, we still have vast room to learn from and draw inspiration from advanced countries to enhance corporate added value.
This book allows us to clearly see how quality-conscious corporate professionals systematically implement their business philosophies, management systems, procedures, and practices within their organizations. Beyond personal reference, this book can also serve as a training manual for internal corporate training to foster "management consensus."
