03 "Fu Liete on Management"

10 "How to make a decision"

As the name implies, this book introduces the process of decision-making. Through the microscopic exploration of the decision-making process, March showed us a real picture of how the decision came into being: people make decisions under the circumstances of uncertainty, deception, illogicality, impulsiveness, blindness and even joking, so the so-called "serious thinking and rational decision-making" is usually nonsense, which is impossible in theory and fact.

1 1 organization

Because March and Simon had a long-term and in-depth study of "decision-making" before, Organization shows a lot of literature review, rich model construction and clear thinking logic. Of course, this is not a good book to read, and its strong academic nature makes it focus on rational deduction rather than story narration, so it is a bit difficult to read. However, there is no denying that this book is really a good one. In the field of organizational behavior and decision-making theory, the position of the organization is beyond doubt.

12 "Wealth Revolution"

Leadership and motivation

Everything Adail said was reasonable and sincere. In addition, Adail also mentioned the specific issues that leadership needs to do, so that leadership will not be too abstract and broad. He said that leadership includes planning, initiating, controlling, supporting, providing information and evaluating.

17 leadership

Gardner's leadership thought is no longer just an experience summary of skills, but extends to the sociological dimension and rises to the philosophical level through speculation and refinement.

22 "Competitive Advantage"

Porter's Competitive Advantage continues the writing path of Competitive Strategy, which is rigorous and complicated. Compared with the management books on the market now, Porter's books are very pedantic. Of course, the classic is classic, not because it can be immediate, but because it has lasting vitality. By reading this book, managers can be prompted to study the various sources of competitive advantage with a broad and comprehensive vision, and shift their focus to the construction of enterprise advantages, so as to fully realize the overall strategic objectives of enterprises.

23 "Absolute competitive advantage"

In fact, the cultivation of absolute competitive advantage is like carving a diamond. From discovery, excavation, design to polishing, a rough, ugly and dirty stone finally turned into a diamond, shining brilliantly.

Collins and Paula demand the sustainable development of visionary companies.

30 "thinking power"

Simon's "Thinking Stimulation" proves to us that many actions under the slogan of "revolution" in today's world are only fleeting enthusiasm according to previous economic achievements. Just like "hearing is not necessarily true, seeing is not necessarily true", what many people believe to be true is actually not correct. In this regard, there is such an assertion: there is no shortage of emotional assumptions, no shortage of rhetoric that goes with the flow, only a lack of insight. In The Power of Thinking, Simon brought us many unusual insights, which inspired people to think and think again.

3 1 Peter principle

Peter's principle is classic because it is full of original deconstruction. If most management works discuss the way of organization and management from a positive and positive attitude, then Peter's principle is the opposite, criticizing the faults of hierarchy with a negative, negative and negative attitude. But it is not only the destruction and lack of construction, but also Peter's principle, the inference of Peter's principle, hierarchical histology, the skills of career promotion, the pathology of success, the non-medical index of promotion limit and so on. These are all its contributions.

Autobiography of Jack Welch.

Jack Welch is a genius in management. His success is not so much an amazing miracle as the result of his talent and hard work. I always think that not everyone can learn all his management methods, but some of his personality characteristics and years of management experience and lessons can be used for reference. As for the characteristics of this book, just like his personality, he is confident, straightforward, frank and sometimes a little clever.

Only paranoia can survive.

We might as well quote the praise of Reid Hunt, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, to evaluate this book, because it is the most appropriate and appropriate: "Andy is humble but unable to hide his wisdom, and describes in the book how he led Intel to overcome many difficulties, which would be difficult to solve if he fell on other enterprises. In the face of the ever-changing world we live in, I thank Andy for his calmness and foresight, and others will benefit from his extraordinary insight. "

Who says elephants can't dance?

Guo Shina is really not a good writer. However, if you want to see real business, this book is worth reading.

In my opinion, this book is about "not Guo Shina of IBM, but IBM of Guo Shina". From this perspective, this book has its irreplaceable value.

37 "Dell Strategy"

Michael dell, who really built a great foundation-a Dell computer with an opportunity advantage that everyone thought would not exist.

38 "Two empires"

When HP has maintained enviable high growth performance for more than 60 years since its establishment, the "HP Way" has naturally become the object of emulation and learning from the outside world.

His book no longer annotates the "HP Way", but reproduces the miracle stories of Bill Park Jung Su * * *(David packard * * * *, in order to find the independent business wisdom from the "HP Way".

39 "6 σ management method"

What exactly is the 6σ management method? Among many introductory books, this book is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and detailed classic. It needs to understand customer needs, standardize the use of facts and data, conduct statistical analysis, and pay close attention to the management, improvement and re-invention of business processes. On this basis, 6σ management can help enterprises reduce costs, improve productivity, increase market share, retain customers, reduce cycle time, reduce errors, change company culture and improve products and services.

40 "Attention Economy"

The writing of this book originated from 1998, when the Internet was booming, and was completed at 200 1, when the Internet was cooling down. China's version began to "resurrect" after two years of anonymity. This process itself also reflects the pioneering nature of this book, taking great risks, and the content itself can not escape the limitations of the times. This book summarizes decades of experience and long-term research of more than 100 change leaders in consulting, academic and business fields, and provides a set of systematic tools, methods and frameworks. The author proves that there is no management idea that is only popular for a while, but only when the idea is adopted.

4 1 "Frictionless Economy-Economic Model in the Internet Age"

The concept of frictionless economy seems to have first appeared in Bill Gates' The Road to the Future, but the frictionless economy-an economic model in the network age written by American scholar T.G. Loewis is the first book I have ever seen that discusses frictionless economy in detail, and it is also an excellent book. It is probably the first book that tries to make a set of coherent theories about the new economy, so there are many places worthy of discussion and need to be improved urgently, but it is undeniable that it is the most similar thing to "touch an elephant" so far.

42 "Network Value"

Network Value discusses in detail how to obtain information in the Internet age from the perspective of creating value. Among many information about customers, what kind of information is the most valuable, and so on. The book also discusses the potential of using the Internet to build a new business model, instead of just using the Internet as a tool to do the same thing in a faster and cheaper way. The success of this book lies in the systematic analysis of the economic driving forces that exist on the Internet and can create value.

43 "Enterprise Positioning Law"

As a relatively innovative theoretical model, the positive significance of "Three Principles" lies in finding a correct market position for business leaders and providing a thinking entry point for their own enterprises to formulate development strategies. In the book, the author bluntly said, "The three methods will prove to be extremely valuable. This will not only help them see trees and forests, but also let them see farther and prepare for the turning point in the future competitive market. " Under the theoretical study of the lack or even absence of relevant literature, the author's attitude is obviously to "make up for this blank".

44 "influence"

In addition to the principles of reciprocity, commitment and consistency, Siodini also mentioned the principles of social identity, preference, authority and shortage. According to Diodini's observation, although brilliant marketing techniques seem varied, they can be summarized into six basic types in the final analysis, and each type is controlled by a basic psychological principle that can guide human behavior.

A world without borders

"In a word, an accurate understanding of the global economy is imperative." In the early 1990s, Kenichi Ohmae wrote The World Without Borders to warn enterprises that the tide of globalization is unstoppable. In fact, Kenichi Ohmae's A World Without Borders sounded the clarion call to meet globalization, but what is needed now is how to rush to the blue ocean and win the future.

46 "Toyota mode of production"

When Toyota's brand expansion and continuous progress provide reference for the global automobile manufacturing industry, and when Kaizen is regarded as the clearest, simplest and fastest way to maximize production and optimize quality, will Toyota's production mode become the mainstream choice as Toyota's "no doubt, no way out, no way out"? Taiichi Ono's firmness gave us confidence.

47 starfish model

The conclusion that the starfish model represents the future and the future will be dominated by it is not rigorous. For a long time, the decentralization, disorder, network effect and flat structure represented by starfish will indeed become an irreversible development trend in the information age, but the trend will not become the mainstream immediately. Moreover, as far as the commercial application of starfish bionics is concerned, it is not enough to subvert centralized management.

48 "Vision"

"Vision" is like a lighthouse, which points out the direction for the enterprise, guides the business strategy, product technology, salary system and even the details of commodity display. Vision is undoubtedly the spirit, concept and soul of the enterprise, which is shaped by culture, embodied by strategy and implemented by strategy. Therefore, we expect Hoover to reveal how great the enterprise is, not just why it is great. ...

49 "key decisions"

In order to get some opportunities, we need to take some risks. If you stop innovating for fear of making mistakes and dare not take risks, you will inevitably fail. Don't get me wrong, Mirtl Stadt's "key decision" doesn't mean that we don't make any mistakes, but that we avoid them as much as possible. No one is perfect, and mistakes are inevitable. The key is whether you can learn to analyze and identify mistakes in time. You know, not taking any risks in business practice may be the biggest mistake we can make.

50 "Deadline"

If we just list some management proverbs one by one and cite some business stories of big companies such as Microsoft, Procter & Gamble and IBM, then this book is at best our common management inspirational book at present, which can sell well but is difficult to sell often. Deadline is a project management novel. The story begins with the kidnapping of the protagonist: Mr. tompkins, a dozing senior project manager and the victim of the company's recent layoffs, is kidnapped to a completely strange country and entrusted with an almost impossible task, starting a strange and unpredictable adventure. ...
