The management philosophy determines the way of thinking of enterprise management and the rules to deal with problems. These methods and rules guide operator Make correct decisions and guide employees to adopt scientific methods to engage in production and operation activities. The common values of enterprises stipulate the value orientation So that employees can form a consensus on the evaluation of things and have a common value goal. The leaders and employees of the enterprise act for the value goals they have identified. American scholar Thomas Peters And Robert Waterman, Jr., pointed out in the book "The pursuit of excellence" that "all the excellent companies we study are very clear about what they stand for, and have seriously established and formed The value of the company Guidelines. In fact, if a company lacks clear values or incorrect values, we doubt whether it is likely to succeed in business. "
2. Guidance of enterprise objectives
Enterprise goals represent the direction of enterprise development. Without the right goals, it is tantamount to losing the direction. The excellent corporate culture will set up the development goals of the enterprise from the reality with a scientific attitude, which must be feasible and scientific.

Importance of safety corporate culture

Seventy two miners in a potash mine in Saskatchewan, Canada, were trapped underground for more than a day because of a fire, and all were rescued on the 30th. This happy ending is very gratifying. From the rescue process after the accident, it is no accident that this accident can have such a happy ending. As Hamilton, the spokesman of the mine, said proudly when announcing the success of the rescue, "Safety is the core of our corporate culture."
The reason why the trapped miners did not suffer any damage this time is to a large extent the same as the Canadian government departments and mine owners responsibility Complete safety production regulations are inseparable, and are also the result of Canada Mining's long-term adherence to the concept of "safety first" and its view of safety as the core of corporate culture.
In order to focus on building safety as the core of corporate culture, Canadian human resources departments and occupational safety and health centers have been vigorously promoting government legislation at all levels for many years, constantly improving the mining safety management system, increasing safety investment, and constantly improving the mining environment and safety production.
At the same time, these departments hold occupational safety and health week activities every year to strengthen the safety production awareness of the whole people. Monuments or exhibition halls are also set up at the typical accident site to remember the dead workers and warn employers and employees to pay attention to safety in production.
As we all know, corporate culture is rooted in the values moral Code of conduct , enterprise style and purpose, etc. If various rules and regulations, service codes, etc. are "tangible norms" that regulate employees' behavior, corporate culture, as an "intangible norm", exists in employees' consciousness, and restricts employees' spirit just as social morality restricts every citizen.
Corporate culture plays an irreplaceable role in the survival and development of enterprises. All the power and cohesion of an enterprise do not come from resources and technology, but from enterprise culture. Looking at the world's top 500 companies, which one does not have an excellent and unique corporate culture? For example, the success of Microsoft, HP, IBM, GE and other companies stems from their corporate culture.

books

In the early 1980s, Terence Deere, a professor of the Institute of Education of Harvard University, and Coles International Consulting Co., Ltd Alan Kennedy, the consultant of the company Research on Enterprise Management A wealth of information has been accumulated in. They have conducted a detailed survey of 80 enterprises in a period of six months, and wrote a book called "Enterprise Culture - Customs and Etiquette of Enterprise Survival". The book was published in July 1981, and was later rated as one of the 10 most influential management monographs in the 1980s, becoming a classic on corporate culture. It points out with abundant examples that outstanding and successful enterprises have a strong corporate culture, which is to be observed by all employees, but it is often a natural convention rather than a written code of conduct; And there are various ceremonies and customs used to promote and strengthen these values. It is the corporate culture, a non-technical and non economic factor, that has led to the emergence of these decisions, the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the enterprise, as well as the behavior, clothing, hobbies and living habits of employees. In two enterprises with similar other conditions, due to the strength of their culture Enterprise development The consequences are completely different.

characteristic

Culture is inseparable from the nation. A certain culture is always a certain national culture. Corporate culture is a national microcosmic Organizational culture is an integral part of the national culture of this country, so the characteristics of a national enterprise culture actually represent the characteristics of the national culture of this country. Below, we will briefly introduce the corporate culture and management characteristics of several countries and regions that can represent the cultural characteristics of the East and the West.
U.S.A
The United States is a multi-ethnic country of immigrants, which determines the individualistic characteristics of American national culture.
The corporate culture of the United States is centered on individualism, which is not selfishness in general concept, but emphasizes individual independence, initiative, personality and personal achievements. Under the domination of this individualistic ideology, American enterprise management is based on individual activism, encourages employees to struggle individually, and implements individual responsibility Individual decision Therefore, among American enterprises individualistic heroism Quite outstanding, many enterprises often regard entrepreneurs or individuals who have made great contributions to the enterprise as heroes. The enterprise's evaluation of employees is also based on the principle of competence. Salary increases and promotions are only based on ability and work performance, without considering age, seniority, education and other factors. The corporate culture characterized by individualism lacks common values, and the value goals of the enterprise are inconsistent with those of individuals. The enterprise manages its employees with a strict organizational structure and strict rules and regulations to pursue the realization of the enterprise goals. Employees only regard the enterprise as a place and means to achieve personal goals and self-worth.
American enterprises focus on innovation and development. Their idea is that what is new and has not been before is valuable. But American enterprises are not without shortcomings. Sometimes they will ignore some unimportant details, resulting in great losses. Americans are very confident and arrogant when they are doing things. When working in an American enterprise, employees' self-confidence will be cultivated.
European countries
European culture is influenced by Christianity Influenced by, Christianity provides Europe with a moral model of ideal price. Christianity believes in God and believes that God is kind. God requires people to love each other. Influenced by this concept, European culture upholds personal values and emphasizes personal high-level needs. Europeans also paid attention to reason and science, emphasizing logical reasoning and rational analysis.
Although the spiritual basis of European corporate culture is the same, due to the different national cultures of different countries, there are also differences in the corporate cultures of different countries in Europe. Because of their cultural background, the British people have a strong sense of heredity and always regard the landlords and nobles as the upper class of society, Business operator At a lower level Social class Therefore, the values of British entrepreneurs pay more attention to social status and hierarchical differences, rather than excellent management achievement To prove their social value, but try every means to make themselves join Upper class society Therefore, in the enterprise management, they are conservative and have poor risk taking spirit.
The most prominent feature of France is nationalism, arrogance, snobbery and sense of superiority, so the French business management shows a closed and conservative concept.
Italy advocates freedom and is self-centered, so it has poor organizational discipline and low degree of structure in enterprise management. However, due to the fact that most enterprises in Italy belong to small and medium-sized enterprises, loose organization has no significant impact on the vitality of enterprises.
Germans have a strong sense of bureaucracy, strong sense of organization and discipline, and are diligent. Therefore, in German business management, decision-making body Large, collective decision-making and ensuring workers' participation in management often take more time to demonstrate, but the quality of decision-making is high. The executive level of the enterprise is strictly divided. Each department is responsible for only one supervisor, and there is no deputy. The participation of employees in enterprise management is extensive and regular, and many laws guarantee the right of employees to participate in enterprise management. Employees' participation in enterprise management is mainly through participation in the board of supervisors and Board of Directors To achieve. According to the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Employee Participation Management, there are 20 enterprises with more than 20000 employees, half of which are labor and capital representatives. Among the 10 representatives of the labor side, 7 are elected within the enterprise and 3 are elected outside the enterprise; Among enterprises with 10000~20000 employees, there are 16 members of the board of supervisors and 8 labor representatives, including 6 employees elected within the enterprise, 2 employees elected outside the enterprise, and enterprises with less than 10000 employees, Board of Supervisors Half of the members are labor representatives.
China
Corporate culture originates from social trends of thought. To explore the characteristics of Chinese corporate culture, we must first understand the changes of Chinese social trends of thought. The social ideological trend in modern China has gone through three changes: first, Confucianism before the victory of the new democratic revolution, second, Marxism after the victory of the new democratic revolution, and third, western thoughts after the reform and opening up. Although Marxist thought has been introduced into China for nearly a hundred years, it has not taken root in the minds of most ordinary people due to its theoretical depth and national cognitive ability.
Therefore, the national ideology before the reform and opening up was essentially Confucian. With the influx of western ideas after the reform and opening up, there was a wave of people praising western ideas and culture. People took eating western food as the fashion, and took pride in wearing western brand clothes and hats. Even when teaching corporate culture in universities, they tried to praise western ideas without finding the shadow of Chinese ideas. However, due to the deep-rooted Confucianism, the people have a double standard way of doing things under the collision of Western ideas. For example, some people actively advocate the idea of freedom and equality under people, while others follow the Confucian ideology of respecting people above people; When one is short of contacts, he requires others to compete fairly. When he is rich in contacts, he believes in relationship philosophy; Some employees require the enterprise managers to govern the enterprise by "rule of law", and when they manage the enterprise, they will vigorously promote the Confucian "rule of man" and so on. These are the ideological confusion caused by the coexistence of Confucianism and Western thought. Affected by this, China's corporate culture is still in a state of chaos and obscurity today without settling into its own characteristics, and some even quickly graft western corporate culture without Chinese human genes without even knowing what corporate culture is.
In view of the failure of western management science, corporate culture and other theories in practice due to the lack of Chinese human nature genes, Chinese management academia began to reflect, gradually actively looking for the idea of corporate culture construction in line with China's reality in the bright Chinese culture, and the emergence of On the strategy of the powerful A large number of management theories and corporate culture construction theories represented by, have gradually ushered in the normal return of Chinese enterprise management and corporate culture construction. Some Chinese enterprises have begun to cultivate a corporate culture with Chinese civilization characteristics that can demonstrate benevolence and tolerance, respect monks and respect the middle, and seek truth and pragmatism.

model

The ideas and habits in the corporate culture can take root everywhere, and it can originate from an influential individual, work group, department or branch; It can arise at the lower or higher levels of an organization's hierarchy. Often, many elements of corporate culture are associated with a founder or other early leaders. They clearly express these elements as a corporate philosophy or a set of principles or corporate policy forms that organizations must follow. Sometimes, the elements of culture originate from the company's vision, its strategic objectives and the core content of the strategy.
Over time, the foundation of these cultures began to take root, infiltrated into the company's operation, shared by the company's leaders and employees, and then continued when new employees were encouraged to believe in them.
1、 To create an excellent corporate culture, we should first let all employees understand what corporate culture is and why we need to build corporate culture.
To understand the corporate culture, attention should be paid to the following aspects:
First, culture is always relative to a certain period of time. The corporate culture we refer to is usually the culture of the current stage, not the historical culture of the enterprise in the past, nor the possible new culture of the enterprise in the future;
Second, only the elements of consensus can be called culture. If there is no consensus on what the enterprise has put forward, it cannot be called culture. It can only be said that it may become the cultural seed of culture in the future. Corporate culture represents the common value judgment and value orientation of the enterprise, that is, the consensus of most employees. Of course, consensus is usually relative. In real life, it is often difficult to imagine that all employees in an enterprise have only one idea and one judgment. Because people's quality is uneven, their pursuit is diversified, and their ideas are more complex and diverse, corporate culture can only be a relative consensus, that is, the consensus of most people;
Third, culture is always relative to a certain range. The corporate culture we are referring to is usually the part that employees generally agree with. If it is only the recognition of the enterprise leadership, it can only be called leadership culture; If only employees in a certain department of the enterprise generally agree with it, it can only be called the culture of that department. According to the scope of recognition, the culture in an enterprise can generally be divided into leadership culture, middle manager culture, grass-roots manager culture, or department culture, branch culture, subsidiary culture, enterprise culture, etc;
Fourth, culture must have internality. Once the ideas and behaviors advocated by the enterprise reach a common consensus and become the enterprise culture, these ideas and behaviors will be consciously followed by the majority of employees.

Practice stage

From the macro perspective of corporate culture construction, it can be roughly divided into the following four spiral stages of mutual influence and promotion.

Phase I

The first stage is unconscious (unconscious) cultural creation.
In the process of establishment and development, enterprises have gradually formed a set of effective and widely recognized organizational operation concepts or ideas within the organization. The basic feature of this stage is that it has fresh personality characteristics, scattered rather than systematic, and may be "rules not officially released or declared" within the organization. In this process, the enterprise focuses on the cultural temperament or spiritual value reflected behind those unforgettable and important events or cases in the development process. Behind these events or cases, organizations are often faced with huge conflicts and contradictions of interests. The choice of enterprises under such conflicts and contradictions is the concrete embodiment of enterprise values.

Phase II

The second stage is conscious cultural refinement and summary.
After a period of development, when an enterprise has made certain market progress or success, it needs to timely summarize and refine the core elements of its market success. These success factors are the successful tools and methods of the organization in a certain period of time, with general significance of reference or replication. More importantly, enterprises often attract more members from a wider range while achieving market success. various management philosophy In case of conflict with working methods, enterprises often have internal dispersion effect if they lack common value consensus. The most important thing for enterprises at this stage is to consciously sort out and summarize the culture, explore and discuss values through collective systematic thinking, and vision Under the guidance of, determine common value consensus.

Phase III

The third stage is culture implementation and conflict management.
Increasingly large Organization size The diversified staff structure has raised new challenges for the spread of culture and the sharing of values. How the value concept system summarized and refined in the early stage can be recognized by a wider range of organizational members has become the most important thing in this stage. Culture landing There are countless means and tools for communication. In practice, enterprises should follow the principle of "from easy to difficult, from inside to outside, and step by step" to carry out the construction of cultural landing.
1. Construction of cultural communication platforms and channels. First of all, enterprises should build a Communication platform The so-called "connecting inside and outside" is to give play to the role of culture in cohering people's hearts inside and spreading images outside. It is necessary to not only spread internally, but also attach importance to external display. The so-called connection between the top and the bottom is to establish a set of cultural communication channels where senior management and employees can interact equally. In practice, such platforms are indispensable: information exchange and communication platforms. Cultural cases and representatives of outstanding figures, construction of daily activities and thematic activities, etc.
2. Identification and management of values. After establishing its own value system, the organization should be able to effectively identify and Management organization Internal values. The most important thing is to do a good job in the selection of values for talent input, the daily value testing within the organization, and the cultivation and correction of employees' values. First of all, value evaluation is a tool and method for effective talent selection to ensure that the employees entering the company have strong consistency or high matching degree with the enterprise in terms of values and ideas; Secondly, post Competency Model It is also a good carrier to implement cultural concepts and value norms.

Phase IV

The fourth stage is the reconstruction and reconstruction of culture.
Cultural construction is a construction process without ultimate answer for enterprises. The core proposition related to the survival and development of enterprises is a process of constant thinking, summary, denial and affirmation for enterprise leaders. Any stage of summary and refinement does not mean that the operators of enterprises have mastered all the truth or absolute truth. Therefore, a healthy organization must be accompanied by a "living" cultural system. This living cultural system has intelligence that does not have automatic evolution, which requires the enterprise to continuously carry out systematic thinking, and update, evolve and even recreate the culture according to the internal and external environment of the organization and the needs of organizational development. There is an appropriate time for the frequency of cultural renewal. The process of cultural construction is a process that enterprises actively carry out from practice to theory, and then theory guides practice, Culture landing The stage is the process of theory (summarized and refined cultural ideology) guiding practice. Only when we firmly grasp the core of value management, can there be no big deviation or mistake in the construction of corporate culture.

Facing the increasingly fierce market competition, we need to constantly deal with various challenges from home and abroad. However, if you want to achieve effective enterprise management and maintain sustainable development, you must achieve Enterprise management system And corporate culture to achieve symbiosis and two-way interaction. As an enterprise manager, it has become an important way for enterprises to improve their core competitiveness to analyze the relationship between management system and enterprise culture in depth and correctly handle the relationship between the two. Corporate culture covers the material culture, behavior culture, system culture and spiritual culture of the enterprise. Whether it is the external performance or the internal spirit of the enterprise, it is a component of corporate culture. The enterprise management system itself can reflect the enterprise culture.
In fact, the process of enterprise management institutionalization is an important means to promote the development of enterprise culture. How to let employees identify with the company's culture and transform it into their own work behavior is a key part of the corporate culture construction. Boss magazine said that the enterprise system embodying the core idea of the enterprise can strengthen the enterprise culture, and become an idea recognized by employees through long-term repeated practice and improvement. Corporate culture plays a role in promoting the effective implementation and continuous innovation of enterprise systems. Before the formation of the corporate culture, the implementation of the system can only be constrained by external supervision. Once the supervision is weak, employees are likely to fail to do as required, and the cost of enterprise management is high; Once the corporate culture is formed, the actions of employees will become a voluntary behavior without strengthening supervision.
The construction of excellent corporate culture can stimulate the "self-discipline awareness" of employees, thus reducing the cost of enterprise management, and more conducive to the long-term and stable development of enterprises.

Gradually important

With the continuous replacement of internal personnel, the future staffing of enterprises will be based on the "post-80s" personnel structure. Compared with their predecessors, the "post-80s" employees show strong self-awareness, insecurity, impetuosity, vanity and other characteristics, but also lack teamwork and practical spirit. Their unique personality will bring great pressure to enterprises. The post-80s generation has many shortcomings, but they also have the excellent qualities of pursuing happiness, active thinking and daring to innovate. The key is how to guide correctly. What can correctly guide the post-80s generation is enterprise culture. First, let the "post-80s" identify with and understand the corporate culture of their enterprises from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, for the future development of Chinese enterprises, the shaping and implementation of corporate culture will become the core elements restricting the growth of enterprises.

Leadership culture

Corporate culture has distinct personality and differences. Different enterprises have different growth experiences and corporate cultures, which are often determined by the cultural quality, personality characteristics and ability to deal with things of enterprise operators. Western scholars Robert R. Blake Robert Blake and Jane S. Mouton mentioned in the New Management Style that "in reality, the style of enterprise leaders has a decisive effect on the business style of enterprises". This is a common phenomenon of "leader" culture in Chinese enterprises.

misunderstanding

Cognitive error

1. Simply understand that corporate culture is the identification system of enterprises
2. One sided view that corporate culture is the method of packaging enterprises
3. Corporate culture is the thinking system of an enterprise
4. Corporate culture is a corporate cultural activity
5. Corporate culture is the corporate image design
6. Corporate culture is the cultural taste of corporate products

Construction error

1、 Misunderstandings in target positioning
As the product of the organic combination of economy and culture, corporate culture should be the unity of the goals and means to achieve them. Some enterprises set the goal of building corporate culture on shaping employees, including changing employees' concepts, habits and behavior according to the intentions of leaders and organizations. However, it should be noted that while promoting the development of employees, the enterprise itself should also be shaped to achieve interaction and mutual promotion. For example, there is a phenomenon of "cultural ideal" in some corporate culture construction, and the cultural construction goals set by them have exceeded the bearing range of the enterprise itself, which are large and empty, and lack of down-to-earth positioning.
2、 Misunderstandings on the relationship between subject and object
Some people believe that corporate culture is advocated by leaders and is top-down, Corporate culture construction Chinese employees are only passive receivers, not active participants and creators. In fact, corporate culture should be a model of beliefs and expectations shared by all or most members of an enterprise. Leaders' cultural literacy and awareness of corporate culture construction play an important role in the structure of corporate core culture, but corporate culture is not equal to "entrepreneurial culture". All employees should be involved in corporate culture construction, because employees are the main body. Only by combining the strategic thinking and leading role of enterprise leaders with the basis and main role of employees' participation can we truly create a living corporate culture and make corporate culture the spiritual home shared by leaders and employees.
3、 Misunderstandings in content
1. The content of enterprise culture is simply "enterprise+culture". Decorate the enterprise with empty slogans, paved words, and gorgeous rhetoric, which makes the enterprise culture slogan;
2. Corporate culture visualization. Some corporate culture construction is often "on paper", or beautify the factory appearance; The corporate culture has become empty, packaging and hype have become prominent, and the so-called "image advertising" has been carried out.
3. Corporate culture is equal to the ideological and political work of enterprises. First, it believes that corporate culture is to help the party organization of the enterprise to do a good job in ideological and political work and spiritual civilization construction of employees; The second is that the construction of corporate culture is to engage in activities, build models and sing praises; The third is that the construction of corporate culture is to sum up a few loud slogans; Fourth, the enterprise culture is to organize employees to carry out amateur sports activities; Fifthly, the corporate culture is the packaging corporate image, which is equivalent to CIS (Corporate Identity System); The sixth is to believe that everything new and foreign is modern, or blindly believe in tradition, expect to use the content of corporate culture construction into traditional management methods and ideas, and attempt to take corporate culture as a "panacea".
4、 Mistakes in methods
Boss magazine said that there are two wrong tendencies in the method of corporate culture construction: one is the naturalistic tendency lacking theoretical judgment. It is believed that the corporate culture is formed naturally in the long-term production and operation activities of the enterprise, and the enterprise cannot and should not carry out artificial planning, design and construction, which results in the "inaction" phenomenon of corporate culture construction and the lack of clear concept guidance; The other is subjectivism, which lacks empirical analysis. It believes that corporate culture is artificially planned and designed according to the leader's intention, which results in formalism or "surprise" phenomenon of corporate culture construction, blind imitation of other corporate culture construction, and lack of characteristics and personality.

People understand and think about corporate culture, which is no longer limited to "whether there is", but more emphasis on "right" calibration and "good practice". Corporate culture is never just a term written on paper, but a measure internalized in the hearts of employees and practiced in the system; Never just mention beautiful slogans, but implement powerful actions in the process of development.
Corporate culture is not a verbal effort, but an action force to win the trust of employees and the public with real value power and cultural power.
