Features: In American society, entrepreneurs rule. Generations of entrepreneurs have been the backbone of American society. The establishment of China's socialist market economy system urgently requires a large number of entrepreneurial talents, but the era of entrepreneurs has not yet arrived. Therefore, how to cultivate the entrepreneurial class is a common goal that the Chinese government and the broad public must work together to achieve. — Professor Wang Yijiang, Distinguished Professor at Tsinghua University and Professor at the University of Minnesota, USA 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 in the 1990s, and it remains highly relevant today. This book not only makes significant theoretical breakthroughs but also has positive guiding effects in practice. — Li Songling, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Hunan University School of Economics, National People's Congress Member, and Renowned Economist What talent is China lacking? Of course, it is professional entrepreneurs. Reading this book carefully gives a sense of being there. The author has experience as an entrepreneur and has many personal insights. I hope that entrepreneurs and those aspiring to become entrepreneurs will read this book seriously. Perhaps you will find a different perspective, at least you can discover your own shortcomings, especially the responsibilities of entrepreneurs, which we must seriously reflect on. — Yu Kejian, Chairman of Hunan Jiuzhitang Co., Ltd. and National People's Congress Member This book provides a "path of self-cultivation" for the growth of China's professional entrepreneurs, benefiting every entrepreneur. 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 colleagues. — Wang Xiaobing, Chairman of Changsha Huanyuan Zhongdian Control Equipment Co., Ltd. The purpose and significance of this book are to conduct an empirical analysis on the reasons why China has not formed a professional entrepreneurial class, and then propose mechanisms for fostering the growth of professional entrepreneurs and corresponding countermeasures. We believe that a nation's competitiveness depends on a large number of competitive enterprises to support it, and the core strength of enterprise competition comes from 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, the writing of 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 growth, and the entrepreneur market is an effective way to discover entrepreneurial resources. The book is divided into ten chapters: Chapter 1: The Formation and Evolution of Western Enterprises, Chapter 2: The Formation of the Professional Entrepreneurial Class, Chapter 3: Entrepreneurship Theory, Chapter 4: State-Owned Enterprises and Entrepreneurs, Chapter 5: Incentive Mechanism I: Annual Salary System, Chapter 6: Incentive Mechanism II: Stock Options and Shareholding System, Chapter 7: Constraint Mechanism, Chapter 8: Entrepreneur Market, Chapter 9: Standardizing the Development of Private Economy and Cultivating the Entrepreneurial Class, Chapter 10: Self-Cultivation of Entrepreneurs.
