Features: Never before have Chinese telecom professionals been so concerned about the future of their companies; never before have Chinese telecom operators faced such global challenges as those encountered by fixed-line operators; never before has the Chinese telecom industry held such strong influence in the global telecom sector. These signs indicate that the Chinese telecom industry is entering a new era, an era of intense competition and reshuffled landscapes. China Telecom has opened the door to transformation.

For China Telecom to succeed in its transformation, it cannot rely on general management principles or the experiences of other companies. It must develop its own unique management approach, which is precisely what precise management entails.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part, "The Path of Transformation," summarizes the management foundation of China Telecom's transformation as "direct management" through four missing elements and three major pitfalls.

The second part, "Precise Management," reveals the fundamental characteristics and methods of precise management, exploring the management foundation that China Telecom needs to construct during its transformation.
