Features: In the book "Enterprise Game—Close-up Cultural Observation," Mr. Guo Zilin discusses the success and failure of enterprise management. With a witty and humorous style, he fulfills his long-standing desire for cultural research in enterprises, using his own creations to convey vivid pictures and heartfelt messages. This is similar to what Davenport pointed out in his book "Business Thinking," where he stated that entrepreneurs writing books are "providing popular interpretations and explanations of the relationship between enterprise operations and culture in the context of business operations, and compiling them into books for others to understand." Mr. Guo Zilin has achieved this. In "Enterprise Game—Close-up Cultural Observation," Mr. Guo Zilin touches on aspects such as human-enterprise cooperation, division of labor management, capital operations, and human resources. He portrays culture as a social right element in enterprise operations, vividly depicting the inevitable conflicts between employee interests and enterprise management, institutional construction and institutional innovation, self-interest and altruism. In this book, Mr. Guo Zilin masterfully illustrates the inherent contradictions of responsibility, authority, and benefits directly resulting from enterprise management. Perhaps the true intention of entrepreneurs lies in cultivating a mindset that transcends conventional thinking and practice, using innovation to capture people's attention and playing a five-minute game of "game theory equilibrium" with us, involving enterprise profits and human growth. In enterprise operations, any employee should understand the essence of "corporate culture." It can be found in internal publications, memos, business negotiations, employee gatherings, and even in private conversations. Although many entrepreneurs have repeatedly advocated for corporate culture and called for respecting individual employee rights, it has almost become a universally recognized belief among every enterprise operator and owner, yet it is rarely included in company creeds. Although cultivating this corporate culture in every employee's mind requires a long time, and no company holds a patent on corporate culture, once you achieve this, the enterprise you operate will benefit immensely in every aspect—respecting human values, promoting human-centric principles, and using a culture and communication style that most employees as a common principle for handling matters. It is precisely these simple and ordinary truths that Mr. Guo Zilin uses a fresh and lively tone to summarize the successful experiences of corporate culture in China, elevating them to an era where perhaps we lack in corporate management concepts and cultural trends. Written in an easy-to-understand style, closely aligned with the spirit of the times, it allows us to understand the experiences in enterprise operations, and this experience is the resource that will inspire China to develop better strategic management models in the future. Today, we are fortunate to experience the heart of a private entrepreneur who has spent over a decade in the business world. Whether the experiences are positive or negative, their value far exceeds what remains in books or classrooms so far. In this sense, we should commend Mr. Guo Zilin's game-like observation of corporate culture: "When everyone is praising you, in other words, I'll say it bluntly, or you won't remember!"
