What are the similarities and differences between China managers and western managers?

Throughout the successful enterprises in China and the West, their management can not be separated from China's traditional philosophical wisdom. Even if they have not specially studied China's traditional philosophy, they have applied China's traditional philosophical wisdom to the same effect. Li Ka-shing, a famous entrepreneur, said: "My management philosophy is to combine the fluent traditional philosophical thinking mode of China with the rational scientific management of the West". Jack Welch, former CEO of General Motors, said: "You can't imagine how difficult it is to make people simple. They are afraid of simplicity, for fear that once they become simple, they will be called simple-minded. In reality, the opposite is true. Those who are clear-minded, persevering, capable and successful are the simplest people! " The source of his idea comes from Confucius' philosophical thought of "from avenue to simplicity"

While foreign managers learn from China's traditional culture and management wisdom, our entrepreneurs turn a blind eye to their own cultural treasures. In fact, they just lack self-confidence and blindly worship foreign things. In today's society where western management concepts prevail, how to rebuild national cultural self-confidence, add China's excellent philosophical thinking mode passed down for thousands of years into enterprise management, and use the leadership strategy of traditional culture in the modern management system to achieve a Chinese-style management mode of "taking learning as the body and using western learning as the application" has become the primary problem to be solved by China entrepreneurs and management consulting circles in the new century.

Simplifying the avenue is a seemingly complicated management process. If we master the essence of management, it will actually become very simple, and China's traditional wisdom is the key to open the essence of management.

The theoretical practice and exploration of China management with China's traditional philosophical wisdom as the core provides the possibility that China's management theory can occupy a place in the world management. We should boldly practice on this road and sum up the relevant theoretical system, which is probably the noblest mission and responsibility of China entrepreneurs and management scholars.
