4. Clayton clayton christensen
Clayton christensen, a well-known professor at Harvard Business School, works in the general manager and technical and operational management department of Harvard Business School. His research and teaching fields focus on the development and management of new products and technologies and how to open up markets for new technologies. He is not only an outstanding management scholar, but also a pragmatic management practitioner.
Christensen put forward a set of principles of breakthrough innovation, the main content of which is to create a new independent business department around breakthrough technology, which is not influenced by mainstream customers, but to integrate itself into those customers who need breakthrough technology products. It is easier to respond to the growth opportunities of small markets by delegating the responsibility for the commercialization of breakthrough technologies to a smaller organization whose scale just matches the target market.
Breakthrough innovation is the core individual economic power of macroeconomic growth. The widely accepted principles of good management are actually changing at any time. Christensen's thoughts can help managers to judge when to follow those widely accepted excellent management principles and when to adopt other principles.
Under the guidance of the principle of breakthrough innovation, enterprise managers can do two things at the same time, on the one hand, ensure the healthy operation of enterprises in the near future, and at the same time mobilize enough resources to pay attention to those breakthrough technologies that may eventually lead to the decline of enterprises.

In the increasingly fierce competition, product differentiation will no longer be the main focus of competition, and customer service quality will become the key to competition. The better the customer service of an enterprise, the more likely it is to get the upper hand in the fierce competition.

7. james collins (JamesC. Collins)
James collins won the stanford graduate school of business Prize for Outstanding Teaching and worked for McKinsey & Company and Hewlett-Packard Company. Co-author with Jerry Poles, The Foundation Will Continue. Collins pointed out that the founders of great companies are usually people who make clocks, not people who tell the time.
Clock-making is to establish a mechanism that enables companies to survive and develop in the market by organizational strength, rather than relying on accidental things such as someone, a product or an opportunity.
With the further improvement and standardization of the market, enterprises must rely more and more on a good mechanism, including a good organizational structure, a good evaluation and assessment system and a good strategic management.

The core content can be summarized as: reorganization: horizontal integration, teamwork, vertical compression of organization, flattening of organization, empowering employees to make independent decisions and implementing concurrent engineering. Emphasize customer orientation: consider business objectives and strategic orientation with customers as the center, and consider which business processes should be set according to customer needs.
1. The quality of managers and employees must be improved. Leaders should be brave in innovation, have a strong sense of market competition, be able to communicate effectively with the company inside and outside, and deeply understand the connotation of BPR. After the implementation of BPR, employees have more decision-making opportunities and must have corresponding high quality.
2. The technical level must be improved. At present, most enterprises in China have a low level of information technology application and backward production technology. The application of BPR in modern enterprise management also depends on the support of information technology.
3. Establish corporate culture and business philosophy. BPR is also changing the business philosophy of enterprises, and then requires the creation of a suitable corporate culture.
