20 years ago, Chinese entrepreneurs did not read Western management books; that was ignorance. 20 years later, if they still only read Western management books, that would be incompetence. – Li Dongsheng (President of TCL Group)
Management itself has no inherent good or bad; it only has suitability or unsuitability. What is good in Western management should be learned; what is traditional in China should be summarized and inherited, with innovation. In business management, one must stay grounded in reality and not be trapped by any rigid models. – Nan Cunhui (Chairman of Chint Group)
Since the beginning of the new century, there has been a clear trend in the field of management studies: management thoughts and concepts are gradually regaining influence in the East. Western management scholars have also begun to realize that their methods are not universally applicable and have started to seek wisdom from ancient Chinese culture. Unlike Western management, Chinese-style management truly advocates people-centric principles. So, what is Chinese-style management? As the renowned management master Zeng Shiqiang states, Chinese-style management is the proper application of modern management science based on Chinese management philosophy. There is only one goal: to be effective.
In business management, Chinese people tend to emphasize principles, rules, and harmony, while Westerners pay more attention to rigorous processes and meticulous details, often disregarding emotional bonds. Chinese people are more skilled at coordination and adapting to situations on the fly, whereas Westerners adhere to division of labor and accountability, strictly following predetermined plans. Therefore, management standards across cultures and eras must be adapted to specific contexts and cannot be applied rigidly.
From a common perspective, Chinese-style management may seem diverse; from a philosophical perspective, it is fundamentally consistent. Paying attention to the 72 details of Chinese-style management is essential to creating a management path suitable for your own enterprise. This book introduces the 72 details of Chinese-style management, including leadership details, control details, decision-making details, organizational details, and authorization details, among others.
