挑战与出路:东西方管理智慧整合的方法论探索

Replying to Management Challenges by Integrating Western and Eastern Management Wisdom

未来管理世界的基本特征是不确定性、模糊性、复杂性以及快变性。这一特征给组织管理带来巨大挑战:管理目标制定困难,管理机制设计不完备,管理操作过程难以设计,人的行为无法控制。东西方管理中应对上述挑战的智慧体现了不同的哲学和逻辑思路,二者之间具有互补性,如能有效整合可更好地应对挑战。基于近年来出现的二元型组织研究思路,运用和谐管理理论的基本思想,提出一套系统的方法论来整合东西方已有管理智慧和理论,为未来管理研究与实践提供了应对挑战的新思路。

The contemporary organizational environment is characterized by 4 key salient components, which are complexity, change, ambiguity, and uncertainty （UACC）. Managers are challenged by problems of determining causality, managing holistically, and adaptation to rapid change. Western philosophical approaches to confronting management challenges arising from UACC, inherent in the wider economic environment, emphasize standardization and rational design on the basis of science, law, and religion. Conversely, Oriental philosophical approaches to management challenges oppose such rigid systems in favor of flexibility and adaptability which emphasize harmony and morality. By integrating these two complementary approaches, we propose He Xie Management Theory （HXMT）, which establishes a clear vision and mission to direct the development of organizations, organize an in- tegrated management system and cope with management challenges.
