Keywords: corporate culture, traditional culture and Chinese management

Long-term success of an enterprise to rely on good corporate culture, but many of the corporate culture and management theory from the West, some of the theory does not fully apply to China. How Chinese culture management, how the localization theory of corporate culture, which is placed in the Chinese business community a real problem.

First, the Chinese characteristics of corporate culture
With the rise of Chinese enterprises, "Chinese Management", "Chinese-style management" has become a new term management community. Professor Zeng Shiqiang in <<Chinese-style management, "a book that Chinese-style management has been there, we all in use, but in the midst of them, accustomed to would not feel the existence of the Chinese-style management is more of a management philosophy, in other words, Chinese-style management is a management culture of Chinese business culture is Chinese culture specific, To understand the characteristics of Chinese culture, we must first find its root causes - psychological characteristics of Chinese culture.

Chinese people all the customs, system, way of doing things are deeply marked by this two imprint: "home" and "face." While in reality these two concepts also has a strong explanatory power of the "home" attention and "face" of attention can be said that the Chinese people's fundamental cultural and psychological characteristics.

1, a "family" concept
Chinese people have a very strong sense and strong Renjieguizong "home" concept, which is the historical and cultural aspects of China's basic national conditions, this concept makes the hearts of Chinese people, no matter where they go are always filled with their native land, this concept also makes the Chinese people see the "home" will feel at home, psychological attribution.

However, this on the "home" pay attention to the concept but not with any emotion, is a neutral term. For this concept to actively guide, can receive unexpected results, will be able to unite the people greatly. Again, this kind of "home" concept will also breed a variety of adverse personal and organizational behavior.

The first is the lack of public ideas. People are on the home has a very strong sense of identity, but for something outside of the home that they are irrelevant with the Chinese common people, "each minding, not other people's tiles frost "concept, in fact, this concept is beyond reproach individual, but in life, this concept is the evolution to a" private ", even say that China does not" citizens "only" private people. "in companies, employees show a certain extent, disregard of public affairs, and even that "the public" is that everyone can get to - remove the "everyone" is a small family.

Second, it is easy to form a small circle. Family-based arithmetic ethical relationship stretches, it is easy to form a variety of small group, small group. With the concept of home as it can be a small group (combination of kinship, geographical relationship and integration with, or otherwise) as "insiders" for the insiders and outsiders is clearly divided. "insiders" has become another form of de facto "home", "circle wife "in order to benefit insiders at the expense of a large collective interests, even to the interests of insiders and unscrupulous, but this behavior is to circle the support and agree with others, which is similar to Western management theories in the the "informal organization."
2, the "face"
Chinese have a saying called "Siyaomianzi living death", these words were right. Lin said: The Chinese people face, not only can wash, can scratch, and can throw, you can enjoy, you can fight, can stay. Sometimes it seems that face competition is the first prerequisite of life, or even go bankrupt whom, is not excessive. really gave away the Chinese people "face" and "surface" emphasis.

Many things in life because of a "face" issue, you can use the "face" to explain we all know, Chinese people do pay attention to dealing with a "human", "relationship." To the Chinese people "face" complex extension, we can see more Chinese people's cultural level of psychological characteristics.

① face-saving habits
Good habits of Chinese people face can be traced back to form when the Confucian school of thought, ancient times thousands of years of accumulation, the face of this good habit has been deeply rooted in Chinese people's concept of each of them.

Life, people only have to contact each other to face the possibility of going in the company, even if the boss made a mistake in public, under the leadership would not publicly expose the ugly, but later through other ways leading to the euphemism reminder. leadership know very well, for such a subordinate to the face, but also to meet under the natural face, so that subordinates are more susceptible to leadership positions.

② moderation
Yellow River, nurtured the Chinese civilization, Chinese people have created a culture of water - like water adaptable, that ugly is both ways. Reasonable certainty, coupled with a reasonable response to the change, that is, we often say "doctrine of Road. "
Moderation in the modern society is usually understood as "turn left and take them", in fact, this is not the intention of moderation. Zhu Xi once said: No matter unreasonable, is moderation. Golden Mean in fact rationalism, but we have reached a reasonable state, that in a system, there is no unreasonable is moderate. This is Western management thought of "Pareto optimal" principle, that in a state, there is no change to a variable priority leaving other variable worse situation.

③ "almost" philosophy
Life, solve the problem we always say "almost" on the line. That is, do not share things so clear, or take into account each other's face as the most important.

"Almost" philosophy and Tai Chi echoes the thought, Tai Chi Bagua map can be seen, Tai Chi is not simply divided into two, but "you have me, I have you." Laws of thought inherited from Tai Chi, Chinese style management is often as three to two, rather than Western management into two. Chinese-style management to people into three categories, the boss is the manager, employees are managers, and between employers and employees of the cadres, managers are on the one hand, on the one hand is the regulator of Chinese-style management to solve the problem of the state is divided into three categories, in the "Resolution" and "no solution" remains between a "resolve" the resolve of the state is called "almost" zone.

④ glossy
Glossy is fundamental in the "face" on the good news is we have to face, the result of reporting only bad news did not face up to each other. The same is true in life, we all like to pick good words, that the people happy, listen to the people happy, we are good, why not?
Subordinates reporting to superiors, the basic is the major issues to minor ones had even found a problem, we do not like to get on the table is concerned, but try to solve the problems out in private, may everyone have a clear mind, heart have a few, but do not speak out. Chinese people is so high-profile praise, low-key deal with the problem.

More or less every Chinese person has the mental, just about the issue of how much the Chinese business culture is an extension of Chinese culture and psychological, these characteristics permeate the corporate culture in every corner of China, China's business enterprises ultimately cultural identity.

Second, the Chinese-style corporate culture, management strategy in
Chinese management philosophy and great flexibility in the face of complex situations, able to adapt to rapidly changing environment and avoid weaknesses, I think we can work from the following aspects:
1, respect for employees 'home'
Chinese people have a strong sense of identity of the family, when this sense of identity to be understood and accepted, employees have access to psychological motivation, on the contrary, when this identity is forced to deny, is bound to dampen the enthusiasm of the staff, so business managers home staff should have enough attention and respect, and only companies to house employees as their home, the staff will put the company as their home. Links to free download http://www.hi138.com Management shall try to understand the difficulties of employees, help employees solve the family, the difficulties of life, which will greatly motivate employees, employees will make the greatest contribution to the enterprise, such as Haier has a "solve problems" group, specifically for employees to solve problems get employees alike, and in exchange for the loyalty of the employees of Haier.

2, guide the "little house" as "everyone"
People's indifference to public affairs, public affairs, the reason is that it seems to me nothing To break this "private" and the "small circle" concept, and it will take employees 'home' concept to migrate to the enterprise.

As we all know, the Japanese company's three major characteristics of the lifetime employment system, Nenko system, enterprise union system, its essence lies in the Japanese culture, the concept of home through these systems migrate to the enterprise, employees loving plants such as home, business vicissitudes and personal success or failure of tightly linked, such enterprises are not competitive you afraid?
3, it is necessary to "clear", but also to the "dark"
"Ming" is to be done superficial, but deeper, "dark" Kung Fu is in the back, if floating on the surface, the result is something often difficult to solve. Zeng Shiqiang in <<Chinese-style management>> mentioned Chinese companies are meeting the best use of 3:1:3 form. that if the session is to open one hour, then will be a good idea to do three hours of preparation, will then do three hours of communication, things to a satisfactory solution, because at the meeting, we are face to face, all departments are from their own interests, but who do not want to offend others, the meeting is difficult to get a real idea of ​​each person, it is difficult to obtain solutions to the problem , which requires effort on the "dark" place, pre and post the need for adequate communication, and communication outside the Council at the meeting will not be as embarrassing as, each able to express real ideas, coordination in managing , the final order to obtain the ideal solution.

4, to "Dorians"
Successful corporate culture must be able to Dorian's corporate culture. Specifically, the internal staff to stability, external stability to customers.

Stability of staff, is to establish a rational management system, establish the people, things and events, as well as the norms between people and things, the use of human management, according to "Love, reason and Law," the structure, first a fair and reasonable , last resort ruthless, according to Law, such as Haier, pay attention to employees to "three hearts for one mind": to solve the plight of enthusiastic, sincere critics wrong to do ideological work should be intimate, with the heart in exchange for three employees of the company's core.

Stability of the customer, is to a reasonable social responsibility (including mental and physical aspects, the implementation of effective management, to enhance the confidence of all walks of life, providing the example of honesty, integrity in the face of consumers. Many people buy medicines would like to buy Beijing Tong Ren Tang products, why not? because Tong Ren Tang has credibility for customers at ease. three hundred years, Tong Ren Tang has been in the respected founder of music it was Young's words: "Although the fan will not concocted provincial labor, although the taste will dare to cut material. "
5, emphasis on leadership by example
From the "home" point of view, a home must have a strong, good parents, the family have the hope of prosperity, from the "face" point of view, the face of a leader by example, who "almost" philosophy may be subordinate only to minimize the "gray area." face set an example of leadership, subordinate dared, willing the good news and Bad news.

The power of examples is endless, the leader in addition to the staff in establishing models, but its corporate culture should become a model, first leadership should pay attention to corporate culture, and second, the major business leaders not to "revolving door"-like replacement, this corporate culture is not conducive to the continuity of the third is if the main leadership change, new leadership should have a bearing on the cultural construction of the original framework and culture to abandon, and not be denied, the four leading cadres must set an example man example, to impartiality and integrity to make progress, the only way the corporate culture will be positive, five is to establish long-term perspective, the saying goes, "Ten years planting trees, takes a hundred years," haste makes waste, as long as the leader of painstaking management strive to create, excellent corporate culture will be able to create success.
