Features: Most of the companies mentioned in the book are well-known enterprises, and most of them still exist today, with many achieving thriving business performance. Therefore, the "mistakes" referred to in the book are not a final judgment on a company, but rather a study of a company's failure in a specific operational aspect during a certain period. Among the 20 cases in this book, there are 10 foreign companies and 10 domestic companies. To avoid one-sidedness, the mistakes elaborated in different cases are diverse, meaning each case discusses a specific angle of failure. These mistake angles cover all aspects of business operations, from administrative management to marketing strategies, from corporate culture to capital operations, from diversified operations to market innovation, and so on. The author has also made every effort to select cases from different industries, hoping that each type of mistake can represent a certain category of companies, avoiding misleading readers into mistaking the unique shortcomings of a specific industry for common business problems.
