What are the differences between traditional culture and modern enterprise culture?

To improve the cohesion, centripetal force and core competitiveness of China enterprises, we must attach importance to the construction of modern enterprise culture. The construction of modern enterprise culture in China should pay attention to three relations, reflecting national characteristics, achievements of modern civilization and personal characteristics.

Keywords: modern corporate culture, national characteristics, modern civilization, personality characteristics

The competition of modern enterprises is increasingly manifested as the competition of corporate culture. To improve the cohesion, centripetal force and core competitiveness of China enterprises, we must build a modern corporate culture in China. The following three relations should be handled well in building modern corporate culture in China.

The integration of nationality and times

China's modern corporate culture should first reflect the characteristics of the Chinese nation. Excellent corporate culture always absorbs excellent national cultural traditions and shows different national cultural characteristics on the basis of the unity of cultural nationality and times. Corporate culture is a subculture and must be rooted in the soil of traditional culture. China's 5,000-year-old traditional culture is a huge treasure house, which contains rich and regular management ideas. The essence of traditional culture can not only be compatible with market economy, but also become the deep foundation of modern enterprise culture, which makes our enterprise show outstanding China characteristics, namely China style and China style. China's traditional culture, broadly speaking, refers to the sum of materials, systems, ideas and cultures handed down from generation to generation in China. In a narrow sense, it is ideology and culture including customs, psychology, morality, religion, philosophy, literature, art and other ideologies. Confucianism, military strategists and Taoism in China's traditional culture are consistent with the business philosophy, strategic thinking and management principles advocated by modern enterprise management theory in many aspects. Confucianism respects benevolence and morality, Legalists reward and punish heavily, military strategists emphasize strategy, and Taoism does nothing, all of which can provide reference for the management of modern enterprises. For example, Confucianism's thoughts of benevolence, kindness, loyalty and respect are consistent with the spirit of modern enterprise development, which can guide entrepreneurs and practitioners to do things better, love their posts and work hard, and condense the centripetal force of enterprises. With the development of China's socialist modernization, history needs and will bring up a group of modern entrepreneurs with the style of "national studies". Mr. Drucker, the father of modern management, said in the opening speech of Beijing Guanghua Drucker Research Association: "Managers cannot rely on imports. Even if it is introduced, it is only a stopgap measure and cannot be introduced in large quantities. Managers in China should be trained by China himself. They are deeply rooted in the culture of China, and they are familiar with and understand their own country and people. Only China people can build China. "

The deepest foundation for cultivating modern enterprise culture in China is our traditional national culture. We should take the excellent Chinese traditional culture as nourishment, absorb the reasonable core of traditional culture, and build a modern corporate culture with China characteristics from six aspects:

Adhere to the people-oriented value orientation. People-oriented is the inheritance and development of people-oriented thought in China. China's modern enterprise system should absorb Confucian cultural traditions, adhere to people-oriented and care for employees. Attaching importance to interpersonal emotional communication and emotional management has become a prominent manifestation of the nationalization of corporate culture.

Establish a "win-win" competition concept of cooperative competition. Market economy is both a competitive economy and a cooperative economy, that is, cooperative competition achieves "win-win". "Win-win" mode is the inheritance and development of China's traditional "harmonious" culture. Practice has proved that the unity of harmony and competition is the highest realm of enterprise management. Modern enterprises in China should inherit and develop China's "harmony" culture, correctly handle the relationship between competition and cooperation, and establish a "win-win" competition concept.

Carry forward the enterprising spirit of self-improvement. The Chinese nation has always had the enterprising spirit of self-improvement. In the ancient Book of Changes, there are valuable proverbs such as "Heaven is healthy, gentlemen strive for self-improvement" and "New day is new day, new day is new day", which are a concentrated summary and vivid portrayal of the vigorous enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation. Carrying forward the spirit of self-improvement will fully mobilize the enthusiasm, autonomy and creativity of employees, enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the organization, and make the whole organization flourish.

Abide by the professional ethics of honesty and trustworthiness. The socialist market economy is essentially a trust economy. In the traditional culture of China, Confucian culture advocates "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" as the basic principle of being a man. To cultivate China's modern enterprise spirit, we should give full play to and make full use of the Chinese tradition of honesty and trustworthiness, and regard honesty as an important content of enterprise spirit and enterprise culture throughout.

Strengthen the team consciousness of the dedicated music group. A remarkable difference between China culture and western culture is that it places special emphasis on group consciousness and collectivism. To build a modern corporate culture in China, we should inherit and carry forward the collectivism morality that emphasizes collective sacrifice, hard work and professionalism in Chinese national culture, strengthen the team consciousness of respecting workers and philharmonic, create a consistent value concept, and give full play to the collectivism spirit of enterprises.

A sense of social responsibility that takes the world as its own responsibility. It is necessary to carry forward the traditional virtues of China intellectuals, that is, "worrying about the world first and enjoying the world later", and link the development of modern enterprises with the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The Unity of Historicity and Modernity

The inheritance and development of China's cultural tradition must be integrated with modern consciousness and market economy consciousness. The construction of modern enterprise culture in China must learn from the advanced western enterprise culture and reflect the achievements of modern civilization. Corporate culture itself is a new management trend of thought and a new management science theory that appeared in western countries in the early 1980s. Learning and drawing lessons from western advanced corporate culture has become an important way to cultivate our corporate culture. Humanistic spirit, scientific and rational spirit, democratic spirit, freedom, equality, human rights, rule of law, market economy, etc. , is the most basic values and the most important basic concept of all mankind, and is the most important symbol and guarantee of social progress and modernization. With an open mind, we should boldly use the excellent things in western corporate culture for our use and "localize". At the same time, the corporate culture of each western country has its own characteristics. For example, American enterprises attach importance to innovation, while Japanese enterprises emphasize team spirit. In the new era, individual innovation spirit is the urgent need of knowledge economy, and team spirit is the inherent requirement of enterprises as efficient bureaucratic organizations. We should give full play to the advantages of many families and combine individual innovation with team spirit. Building corporate culture is essentially a creative process of cultural choice, cultural combination and cultural reconstruction. Due to the different cultural backgrounds between the East and the West, there are also some differences in the management concepts of enterprises. For example, British and American enterprises emphasize "rational" management and pay attention to the role of rules and regulations, management organization structure, contract, personal struggle and competition. Oriental enterprises, on the other hand, emphasize the management of "humanity", such as interpersonal relationship, seniority, group consciousness, loyalty and cooperation. On the question of rationality or emotion, there is a sharp contrast between British and American enterprise management and East Asian enterprise management, thus forming two different enterprise management models. These are all worth learning from China enterprises.

In the construction of modern enterprise culture, while learning from the advanced western enterprise culture, we should also abandon the dross in traditional culture and make up for the basic values and ideas missing in China traditional culture. China's traditional hierarchical system, self-sufficient agricultural economy and traditional planned economy make enterprises lack service consciousness; The tendency of official standard and the concept of seniority have influenced the growth of talents; The lack of the spirit of the rule of law and the emphasis on teaching by example bring difficulties to the construction of enterprise system culture; Complex interpersonal relationships increase the internal friction of the organization; The idea of seeking stability and being afraid of chaos has influenced the development of enterprise's innovative spirit and competitive consciousness; One-sided group concept affects the development of individual intelligence; The egalitarian distribution model weakens the talent incentive mechanism of enterprises. At present, the spirit of rule of law should be particularly emphasized in the construction of corporate culture in China, because the concept of emphasizing "rule of man" and neglecting "rule of law" is deeply rooted in our traditional culture. Under the condition of market economy, modern enterprise system requires "managing enterprises according to law", "strengthening system construction" and pursuing scientific management, which inevitably requires enterprises to change from habitual "rule of man" to modern scientific "rule of law". Management is both science and art, emphasizing "rule of law" does not mean denying the importance of entrepreneurs and managers' personal quality, management ability and knowledge and experience to enterprise management. The key is to handle the relationship between "rule by man" and "rule by law" and combine them effectively.
