晋商的崛起与衰落及其对当代企业经营管理的启示

The Rise and Decline of Shanxi Merchants and the Enlightenment to the Management of Modern Enterprises

晋商特指明清时期的山西商人群体,其经过我国古代时期的发展沉淀,于明清时期逐步崛起并发展到顶峰。诚信为商、强烈的社会责任感等是晋商获得成功的重要原因,官商经济及墨守成规、缺乏创新是其走向衰落的重要因素。当代企业在经营管理中既要学习晋商诚信经营、待人唯诚、具有社会责任感的优秀经验,也要以晋商的衰落为戒,将自身的经营管理置于法律许可的范围内,并积极创新,使企业紧跟时代发展的步伐。

Shanxi Merchants refer to the social groups that do business in Shanxi regions.After the long development in ancient China,they gradually rose and developed to the peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Exploring the reasons for the rise and decline of Shanxi merchants can bring some enlightenment to the management of contemporary enterprises and help them get better development.Honesty for business and strong sense of social responsibility are the important causes for the success of Shanxi merchants.The official business economy and the lack of innovation are the important factors for their decline.Therefore,the contemporary enterprises should not only learn the excellent experience of Shanxi Merchants in honest management,treating others with sincerity and having a sense of social responsibility,but also take Shanxi merchants as a warning,putting their own operation and management within the scope permitted by law,and innovate actively,so that they can keep pace with the development of the times.
