Some time ago, among the four "saints of management" who created an economic miracle in Japan, Kazuo Inamori, who was still the youngest, also passed away. As an ordinary person, or as a consumer, if you are familiar with the companies and products created by Kazuo Inamori, they must not be as good as the first three saints, such as Matsushita Electric founded by Konosuke Matsushita, Honda Motors founded by Soichiro Honda, and Sony Corporation and its products founded by Akio Morita are all famous and well-known all over the world. Of course, this is also closely related to the industries and products that the first three saints mainly do for mass consumption, and the lives of the general public.
And what made Kazuo Inamori famous all over the world was not the companies or products he founded (Kyocera mainly produces fine ceramics and industrial products; KDDI is a telecommunications operator in Japan), but his business philosophy, management theory and his lifetime works, such as the famous amoeba management, management of the 12 articles, six improvements, etc., the works include "heart", "living law", "dry law", etc., and all of them are masterpieces that sell millions of copies.
Founded in 1983, Moriwa Juku has been a dojo for nearly 40 years as a place where Kazuo Inamori teaches his management philosophy and philosophy. It has also been highly respected in China over the years, including branches in Beijing, Dalian, Qingdao, Wuxi, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and other places in China, and is highly recommended by top entrepreneurs such as Ma Yun and economists such as Lang Xianping.
It is worth mentioning that in 2019, at the 27th Moriwajuku World Congress held in Yokohama, 87-year-old Kazuo Inamori personally disbanded the Moriwajuku he founded. Later, Kazuo Inamori gave a clear explanation on the official website of Mori and Juku: "After repeated consideration, if the organization of 'Mori and Juku' remains in society (after my death), there will always be people who want to abuse the name of 'Mori and Juku' and ruin the reputation of 'Mori and Juku', and there will be a so-called '** person' who stands on the stage to explain the 'Inamori philosophy'." But this kind of explanation will definitely be mixed into the thoughts of the "** people" themselves, and it cannot be called "Inamori philosophy". Kazuo Inamori, a lifelong believer in respecting God and loving people, chose to put an end to Mori Wajuku, a vanity fair that was gradually growing loud and bustling and possibly uncontrollable.
However, today, if you go to any Internet platform to search for the word amoeba, there will definitely be related products and their advertising displays, businessmen who have tasted the sweetness of the taste of the marrow, vested interests for self-respect, continue to whitewash the hustle and bustle, how can you let go of this mouth fat and "last carnival".
Is amoeba worthless? Of course not! "Amoeba" (amoeba) means a single protozoa in Latin, belonging to the protozoan amoeba family, the body of the worm is naked and soft, and its body can stretch out pseudopods in all directions, so that the shape is uncertain, so it is named "amoeba". The biggest characteristic of amoeba is that it can change with the changes in the external environment, and constantly adjust itself to adapt to the living environment it faces. This organism has existed on Earth for billions of years due to its extremely adaptable capacity, making it the oldest, most vital and continuous organism on Earth.
So, what exactly is amoeba management? How does it relate to business management? What kind of contradiction is hidden behind the mixed reviews? For enterprises and business management, is it a miracle or a poison?
Let's take a closer look at the following. Stay tuned.
