On August 24, 2022, a generation of business philosophy master Kazuo Inamori passed away, and his business philosophy also set off a craze again. People have begun to learn more about Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy, hoping to borrow the business philosophy of this saint who has repeatedly created business miracles to survive a long industry "cold winter".
Deputy Director Wang Lisheng, Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Ma Yantao, associate researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, were also unwilling to be content with others. After they immediately launched their cooperative research book "Kamoto Inamori's Philosophy in China", in order to help the people in the country learn more deeply about the business code hidden by Kamoto Inamori's Philosophy.
Compared with the books " Mind Method " and " Living Method " written by Kazuo Inamori, Kazuo Inamori's own book, Kazuo Inamori's Management Philosophy in China" has its own unique flavor and is more in line with the Chinese people's habits of reading and learning. If the former's statement is more convincing, the statements in some places may not necessarily be professional and accurate, which is why some people mistakenly believe that Kazuo Inamori is "making chicken soup". The latter is based on the extensive research and investigation of the two authors and their own understanding and digestion. What ruminates readers is clearly organized, well-founded discourse text. We can learn more fully what the real Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy is, and we can also bring our own experience to understand what changes can Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy bring to us, and we can compare it with some national corporate cultures that the public knows to deepen our trust and confidence in the feasibility of Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy in China. Our country has never lacked all kinds of corporate cultures, but it lacks excellent corporate culture that can achieve the eternal growth of the company.
Since last year, some large factories have been rumored to graduate from a group of people. The real test begins this year, and various companies and enterprises begin to usher in a graduation wave. Although all major factories tacitly adopted a gentle word "graduation" to describe layoffs, even in a mild word, it cannot change the cruelty and indifference inside it. When economic benefits are good, we are good teammates with deep distress and hardships, and the "996 blessing" of "being fast to the horse and not eating grass". When economic benefits are not good, you must dare to be the first, reduce losses for the organization, and independently optimize and resolve them, and retreat to the "second line". But is there really such a good thing in the world? In fact, this practice not only makes countless workers lose their confidence in the company, but also makes people feel disheartened. They think that life is hopeless and living by the time is just a matter of time. At this time, the emergence of "Inamori Kazuo's Business Philosophy in China" is like a shot of a heart-warming shot, giving countless people struggling in the "graduation" wave a glimmer of hope. The business philosophy of those who can lead the bankruptcy Japanese Airlines to regroup and revitalize new vitality may also give young people who are confused to start again.
Some people may think that Kazuo Inamori's management philosophy is enough as long as the leaders at the decision-making level learn, and it has nothing to do with us ordinary workers. This idea is very wrong. After reading this book, we will understand that a company is not just a leader’s company, but also a company of every employee involved. If employees do not agree with the company or leaders, then the company will definitely not have any long-term development.
Kazuo Inamori was not a successful entrepreneur or philosopher at the beginning. He was like many ordinary people, and he was afraid and confused. But what makes him different from ordinary people is that he will actively solve and break through when he is in trouble. Everyone will experience failure, but not everyone can firmly believe in the process and results of success. Kazuo Inamori's philosophy of management is not so focused on teaching us what a philosophy of success is, but rather teaching us what a philosophy of being a human being. The premise of business is to learn to be a person, not talk about ideals in vain, not think about the future, and not be addicted to the past. Focus on the present, focus on the present, clarify your small goals, and then work step by step towards the big goals you want.
We can learn Kazuo Inamori’s business philosophy, management methods, and his business path in "Kao Inamori’s business philosophy in China", and we can also see the personal statements of leaders who have learned from Kazuo Inamori’s business philosophy. In these companies, we cannot see the leaders of large factories who are used to "bold talk" in front of others, but can only see those industrialists who are silently working hard to build the country but are strong and everlasting.
Maybe it is time to start a disenchantment journey for major factories, reshape our new understanding of work, to help us overcome this industry "cold winter" and rekindle the fire of hope for the future.
