Features: In modern society, market competition has become the primary form of competition for humans. Military conflicts, territorial expansion, religious disputes, and cultural rivalries have all given way to, or even subordinated themselves to, economic competition. In market competition, the primary organizational unit is the enterprise, which controls the most resources, employs the largest workforce, and creates (or diminishes) the greatest leverage in people's lives. CEOs have the authority to set direction, allocate resources, lead processes, and control information, and they are also the primary claimants of the enterprise's added value. In this sense, they must not only serve the legal owners of the enterprise but also act as the actual owners of the company. They accumulate not only material wealth but also social status, reputation, and influence, which are extraordinary and continuously growing.
