Enterprises are an important part of the country’s economic development. The Chinese entrepreneurial spirit of “turning pressure into motivation and being good at turning crises into opportunities” is not only reflected in the tenacity of Chinese enterprises, the more frustrated they are, but also the Confidence and determination to improve the long-term economy.
Chinese companies have deeply felt the importance of building corporate crisis emergency management capabilities and digital transformation and upgrading under the new situation in this epidemic crisis. On the one hand, most domestic companies have been affected by the epidemic. Problems such as labor shortages, logistics stagnation, supply chains, and capital chains have followed one after another. Companies are facing tremendous pressure to survive, and their emergency management capabilities for crises are reduced. "Danger" is the key to "opportunity." We have seen that in this crisis, many outstanding companies actively responded to the negative impact of the epidemic, activated the crisis emergency plan as soon as possible, established a crisis response team, and arranged for the resumption of work in a stable and orderly manner under the premise of ensuring the prevention and control of the epidemic. The resumption of production has not only won a valuable opportunity for the survival of the enterprise, but also bought time for the whole society to fight the epidemic and restore the normal order of life and production, fully demonstrating the resilience and responsibility of Chinese enterprises.
On the other hand, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, blockchain and other technologies, the interaction and integration of technology and various industries has been deepened. "Online-digital-intelligent" has become the transformation of many enterprises The development method and path of the upgrade. Under the epidemic, the rapid application and popularization of new corporate organizational forms and business models such as remote office, online medical treatment, and unmanned distribution will inevitably accelerate the pace of digital transformation in various industries.
"Don't waste a crisis." Every crisis often contains more significant opportunities. Therefore, we should actively respond, calmly think, and earnestly summarize. The book "Resilience of Chinese Enterprises: Response and Transformation in Crisis" selected some of the outstanding Chinese companies as typical Chinese companies under the epidemic, hoping to show and summarize Chinese companies more directly from the perspective of entrepreneurs The emergency management measures taken in the face of the sudden epidemic, and their thinking on the future development of the industry. There are 18 companies included in the cases in this book. According to their industries, they are mainly divided into five directions: retail logistics, catering and tourism, education and medical care, financial technology, and smart manufacturing. Since companies in each direction have their commonalities, companies in different directions have been affected differently during the epidemic. This includes not only the catering and tourism industry that has been hit the most, but also the ones that have been affected by the epidemic. Rapid development of online education and online medical care. This book hopes to show readers the resilience and responsibility of Chinese companies in the epidemic through these 18 business cases from a more comprehensive perspective. I believe that their thinking on the future industry transformation and development will also be a strong driving force for China’s economic transformation and development. .
In addition, this book invites experts and scholars from the Wudaokou School of Finance, Tsinghua University, and the Institute of Financial Technology, Tsinghua University, to give in-depth comments on 18 corporate cases in the five major directions, which is intended to help readers have a more comprehensive understanding of the various innovation initiatives of the company The economic logic behind it can better grasp the trend of corporate transformation and industry development.
