Features: "A small breach may sink a mighty dyke." The problems in enterprises are far more severe than "small breaches," as problems have the ability to inflate themselves, and crises are often the result of accumulated issues. Therefore, forward-thinking and detail-oriented enterprises have shifted from "crisis management" to "problem management." Hosted by Dr. Sun Jiwei, China's first problem management expert, this series of problem management books, authored by a team of problem management experts, is based on existing achievements in problem management both domestically and internationally. Combining years of personal practice and systematic research, the team explains the theory and application of "problem management" in an accessible manner. The series is characterized by originality, practicality,, and systematicity. With a humorous language, unique perspective, and straightforward style, the author brings the emerging management paradigm of "problem management" to life in a simple and vivid way, giving it a "harmonious blend of substance and form." "Problem management" is a simple yet effective management model. The theory of problem management holds that problems are in enterprises, and excellent enterprises do not have fewer problems than ordinary ones. Everyone can identify some scattered issues, but it is not easy to identify the key problems among many issues. Therefore, with a systematic perspective, professional methods, and the determination to dig to the root of the problem, those with the corresponding authority and ability may not have an accurate understanding of the problem. Thus, appropriately expressing the problem and ensuring that the leadership accepts the solution is more important than discovering the problem itself. Solutions to problems vary depending on the situation. When solving problems, it is not only necessary to address the root cause but also to consider the people, resources, and willingness involved. This book is suitable for managers in enterprises and public institutions, students of management majors, as well as educators and researchers.
