Features: This book conducts a field study on the "war for talent" issue in the knowledge economy. The results are surprising: companies enthusiastic about the "war for talent" do not achieve outstanding performance despite having excellent talent. Why is this? Based on this, the author of the book puts forward its theme—should we seek "excellent" talent or build "appropriate" organizations? The book first raises the question of why the "war for talent" fails, allowing readers to explore its mysteries. It then tells the stories of seven successful companies, starting by posing questions, followed by narrating the stories, and finally presenting the author's insights. The last chapter summarizes the author's own conclusions. The author points out the winning strategies of the successful companies described in the book: successful companies do not achieve success by attracting outstanding talent but by building appropriate organizations. Even ordinary employees can deliver outstanding performance, leading to extraordinary results. The book features a unique approach, innovative structure, compelling case studies, insightful analysis, and striking comparisons. It is a rare management book worth reading. This book is primarily suitable for corporate managers, especially CEOs, as well as university management school teachers and students, who will find it an invaluable reference. Additionally, it is worth reading for anyone interested in the development of Chinese enterprises.
