Features: In American society, entrepreneurs rule, with generations of entrepreneurs serving as the backbone of the nation. The establishment of China's socialist market economy system urgently requires a large number of entrepreneurial talents, but the era of entrepreneurs has yet to arrive. Therefore, how to cultivate the entrepreneurial class is a common goal for the Chinese government and the broader community of wise minds. — Professor Wang Yijiang, Distinguished Professor at the University of Minnesota and Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University
What is a professional entrepreneur? This is both a theoretical and a practical question. The author proposed the idea of establishing a professional entrepreneurial class in China back in the 1990s, and it remains highly relevant today. This book not only makes significant theoretical breakthroughs but also offers practical guidance. — Professor Li Songling, Member of the National People's Congress, Renowned Economist, Director of the Hunan University Economic Research Center, and Doctoral Supervisor
What kind of talent is China lacking? Of course, it is professional entrepreneurs. Reading this book is like being there in person. The author has firsthand experience as an entrepreneur and shares many personal insights. I hope all entrepreneurs and those aspiring to become entrepreneurs will read this book seriously. You may find a different perspective, at the very least, you can discover your own shortcomings, especially the responsibilities of an entrepreneur, which we must seriously reflect on. — Professor Yu Kejian, Member of the National People's Congress and Chairman of Hunan Jiuzhitang Co., Ltd.
This book provides a "path to self-cultivation" for the growth of China's professional entrepreneurs, benefiting every entrepreneur immeasurably. I was fortunate enough to read this book and had the feeling of "reading ten years of books." I hope to share it with my peers. — Wang Xiaobing, Chairman of Changsha Huaneng Zhongdian Control Equipment Co., Ltd.
The purpose and significance of this book are to conduct an empirical analysis of the reasons why China has not yet formed a professional entrepreneurial class, and to propose mechanisms for fostering the growth of professional entrepreneurs along with corresponding countermeasures. We believe that a nation's competitiveness depends on a strong foundation of competitive enterprises, and the core strength of enterprise competition lies in the personal qualities of entrepreneurs. China currently lacks entrepreneurial talent. On one hand, the social environment restricts the growth of entrepreneurs; on the other hand, the low personal qualities and multi-objective value orientation of entrepreneurs make it difficult to cultivate true professional entrepreneurs. Therefore, this book follows this line of thought: a modern enterprise system with clear property rights is the foundation for the growth of professional entrepreneurs, an effective incentive and constraint mechanism is key to their development, and the entrepreneur market is an effective way to discover entrepreneurial resources.
