The core difference between western management and Western management is not "yes" or "no". Nor is it a question of "yes" or "no". We have some organizational phenomena. Western management theories all talk about western management theories.

practice

The difference lies in the question of degree and starting point.

The difference between Chinese and Western management is not the difference between collectivism and individualism, nor does it lie in the difference between collectivism and individualism.

The difference between management and humanistic management.

The West also has collectivism, but western identity is more based on race, class, family name, occupation, age and other factors. Of course, the West emphasizes individualism.

Chinese collectivism is more manifested in the behavior of the circle.

In the west, there is also the phenomenon of rule by man and rule by rite. It also attaches great importance to culture, vision and so on, and designs the system to encourage self-organization, such as the recently developed internalstar-ups and self-directedteams, but the West pays more attention to processes, regulations and systems. Management thinking is mainly based on planning and control, because this management presupposes the hypothesis of human nature of rational economic people, so organizations can be rationally designed and rationally controlled, which is the thinking of rational system.

Western management is characterized by rational system and natural system.

Therefore, Western organizations usually emphasize the importance of "right things to people", and focus on planning, executing, assessing and rewards and punishments.

By setting up the organizational structure, rules and regulations and procedures, we turn the staff into small screws in the big process.

Only later, managers found that these screws began to show dissatisfaction, began to slow down and disobey management, and then produced a series of humanistic management elements such as employee care, vision management, and so on, so as to enhance the job satisfaction, sense of belonging and achievement of "small screws", and ultimately improve their work motivation.

Corresponding to the rational system is the natural system, believing in the assumption of human nature of human society. People need relationships, small groups, sense of belonging and trust, so the combination of human beings is naturally born, and many organizational phenomena can not be rationally designed and controlled.

China's management began at the beginning, mainly from natural system and rational system.

Therefore, the Chinese people attach importance to managing people first and then managing matters, emphasizing that "people are right and things are right".

China's management attaches great importance to people's attention and training, because it enables them to be empowered, and empowers them in order to "accomplish nothing by themselves."

Chinese leaders will not specify each job in detail. Instead, they will do well in the early stage of relationship management. After establishing trust, things will be yours, so the highest level of leadership is "rule by doing nothing".

China's management first recognise self-organization. Efficiency does not come from rules and regulations, planning control, but from self-organization, which is the most different part of the whole management thinking.
