This book is a specialized study on corporate growth. It views businesses as living entities—biological legal entities with complete minds, bodies, and spirits—and dynamically evaluates the characteristics and strategies of each stage of corporate growth, offering a unique perspective.
This book addresses the shortcomings of other books on reengineering that only focus on processes, planning four frameworks for corporate transformation: replanning, rebuilding organizational structure, revitalizing energy, and rebirth.
Through the rational and emotional journey of a CEO from an American insurance company during the "transformation storm," as well as the arduous experience of production management personnel from a paper company involved in the transformation process, readers are guided to understand both the "hard" aspects of the company, such as shareholder value analysis and business costs, and the "soft" issues, such as team building, corporate culture, and motivation.
This book provides a comprehensive guide for corporate transformation.
It is not just about discussing corporate growth; at its core, it is about enhancing corporate competitiveness and shaping core capabilities. It is recommended that readers combine theories such as strategic management, competitive strategy, and organizational learning to read and reflect, believing that greater insights can be gained.
