This word is used in enterprise management mode, which is called "amoeba management mode". Amoeba management is based on the leadership of each amoeba, so that they can make their own plans and rely on the wisdom and efforts of all members to achieve their goals.

"Amoeba" means single protozoa in Latin, belonging to Amoeba family. Its body is bare and soft, and it can extend its prosthetic feet in all directions, making its shape changeable, hence the name "amoeba". The biggest feature of amoeba is that it can change with the change of external environment and constantly adjust itself to adapt to the living environment it faces. Because of its strong adaptability, this creature has existed on the earth for billions of years, and it is the oldest, most vital and persistent creature on the earth.

1959, kazuo inamori, a Japanese businessman, imitated the living style of Amoeba, and invented a set of company management mode based on firm business philosophy and meticulous independent accounting management of the department. The enterprise organization can constantly "deform" with the change of the external environment, and the leaders of all units in the enterprise are the core, so he can make his own plan and rely on the wisdom and efforts of all members to achieve his goals. Adjust to the best state at any time, so it is called "amoeba" management mode. With this model, Kyocera Gong survived four global economic crises in kazuo inamori. Since then, business circles all over the world have begun to study and learn the "amoeba" management model.
