The Third Plenary Session of the 11th ** Committee of the Communist Party of China held in December 1978 achieved a great turning point of far-reaching significance in the history of New China and opened a great journey of reform, opening up and socialist modernization.
By the end of 2022, the number of registered market entities in China reached 16.9 billion households, enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households have historically jumped to 50 million and 100 million respectively. At the end of 1978, there were only 34 industrial enterprises at or above the township level in China840,000 households.
In the Fortune Global 500 list announced in 2022, there are 145 Chinese companies, 124 American companies, and 47 Japanese companies. In 1995, when China participated in the selection of the world's top 500 for the first time, only 3 companies entered the list. Since the reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have made great progress.
In this process, a number of well-known domestic universities have cooperated with foreign universities to set up doctoral programs in management, and have cultivated batches of corporate executive doctors. With a lot of fresh practical experience and management practice problems, these business executives returned from a hundred battles and read again.
In the process of Xi program study, they systematically elevate practical experience to management theory, and complete the transformation of thinking from practice to theory by writing doctoral **, which is problem-oriented. After course Xi, these corporate executives have both practical and theoretical foundations, and have become a very representative group of local management practices in China.
The DPS Ph.D.** (DBA) written by them either constructs a management model with great practical value, or increases the practical application value of the existing management theory system, or integrates the essence of Chinese and Western management theory systems and creatively puts forward new ideas suitable for Chinese enterprise management.
The DPS Ph.D. Program of the National School of Development of Peking University was led by the Huazhang Branch of the China Machine Press, the DBA doctoral program of the famous universities in the United Nations, selects the outstanding ones from these corporate executive doctors** for in-depth selection and market-oriented transformation, and forms a monograph on management practice. In the context of the development of world history, tell the story of China's management practice, and publish it under the name of the series of books "Management Practice in China", from practice to theory, from theory to practice. The series is ready to be published for ten consecutive years.
I think this will not only help to summarize and disseminate the management practice ideas of China's outstanding enterprises, but also establish a Chinese-style enterprise management system, help Chinese enterprises to become world-class, and contribute the "practical wisdom" of Chinese management to the world's management practice.
I studied management engineering in college, and after graduation, I have been engaged in management for a long time, and have studied MBA and doctoral programs in management engineering, systematically learning Xi modern business management theory. In the past 40 years of corporate career, I have been engaged in the management of large enterprises for 35 years, including 10 years as a factory director and 18 years as the chairman of a central enterprise.
Long-term management practice has made me realize that enterprise managers should not only learn Xi modern management theories, but also be proficient in management methods, and the key is to create their own management thinking and management methods in combination with their own business conditions. DPS and DBA Ph.D. will be Ph.D. ** secondary creation, formedThe series of books "Management Practice in China" is the crystallization of management thinking and management methods generated in the process of cyclic improvement from management practice to management theory, management theory to management practice.
I have always believed that management is a practice-oriented discipline. In my experience of bringing both China National Building Materials and Sinopharm Group into the world's top 500, I think that first of all, thanks to this great era, it is the times that create heroes, and thank the reform and opening up for the opportunities brought to us business managers.
Secondly, doing business is a point of hard work, a point of harvest, and opportunities will not always favor the lucky. China National Building Materials and Sinopharm Group have a poor innate corporate foundation, and it is not easy to do them. When it comes to secrets, my only experience is "learning by doing, learning by doing", and try to summarize and sort out the experience in practice, and then go to "learn by doing, learn by doing" with these experiences.
The management and management ideas of China's enterprises are not only based on China's learning Xi advanced enterprises in developed countries, but also in the profound history and culture of our nation, but the most important thing is the in-depth practice of Chinese enterprises in these years after the reform and opening up.
As a management practitioner like DPS and DBA, we should be like Comrade ** advocated, "not only the top, not only the book, but only the truth". Give full play to the entrepreneurial spirit, seek truth from facts, and constantly "integrate knowledge and action" in management practice, and push practice, theory, practice and theory to depth.
These DPS and DBA PhDs come from different regions, different industries, different industries, and different enterprises, and have summarized and refined many years of management experience through systematic course Xi learning and writing, combined practical experience with scientific research methods, and rose to Ph.D. with a high degree of applied theory.
The "Management Practice in China" series of books has published a monograph on management practice by re-creating a pluralistic and diversified management doctorate, which will surely trigger people to think deeply about management practice cases and issues such as China's high-quality development, industrial transformation and upgrading, and Chinese enterprises' "going global". The publication of this series of books will play a positive role in promoting the innovation of management practice, the combination and application of management theory and practice, and has positive practical significance for the future of China's management practice thinking to the world.
Today's world is facing new changes and new challenges. Whether it is climate change, energy security, food security or human health, no one company or one country can solve any problem.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that the world is still a world of you and me, and I and you;It remains a world where we need to help each other and live in peace. We look forward to the next 10 yearsThe "Management Practice in China" series will witness the growth of China's management practice thinking with one after another weighty management practice monographs. Contribute the "practical wisdom" of Chinese management to the world's management practice and make the world a better place!
From 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on December 22 (Friday), the Unveiling Ceremony of the China Management Practice Wisdom Forum and the "Management Practice in China" series will be held at Peking University
