Features: This book is a fable-style management guide that virtually portrays enterprise management as a chess game. It uses the rules of a game of chess to the management principles of a company, and explains the strategic thinking and synergy of chess techniques and pieces in managing a business. The "General (King)" of the enterprise, positioned in the nine-grid palace, strategizes and secures victories from afar. He mobilizes middle-level cadres, with the "Chariot" charging headlong, the "Horse" moving boldly, and the "Cannon" striking from afar to fight for the company's cause. The chariots, horses, and cannons coordinate with the "Pawns" at the grassroots to advance steadily and penetrate enemy territory. The "Elephants" and "Guardians" are like the company's logistics and service teams, working tirelessly to provide support. The "Chariots, Horses, Cannons, Elephants, Guardians, and Pawns" are an integral whole. In chess, both the red and black sides have sixteen pieces each, each piece is independent yet not isolated, and only through coordinated combat can victory be achieved. In enterprise management, leaders and followers are interdependent, united in purpose, and closely coordinated to enable the company's growth.
