The origin of the Book of Changes is as old as that of the Chinese nation. It occupies a very important position in China traditional culture and China society, even in the whole human society. The Book of Changes is a philosophical book and can also be used for prediction. The Book of Changes is composed of the sun and the moon, which means change, so it can also be said to be a philosophical classic about change.

I ching has three principles: change, difficulty and simplicity. These three principles have positive guidance and application significance for management. ? Change: Movement change is change. The law of change is the law of nature, the law of society and the law of enterprise management. It is not easy: the ever-changing universe and society, and even the movement of human life, follow certain laws in change, with static in movement and constant in change. Change is absolute, and invariance is relative. These relatively unchangeable laws can be understood and mastered, which is the hard law. So is management. It is necessary to find out difficult laws and principles from numerous changes. Simplicity: Because you are familiar with and master the changing laws of objective things, you can further explore the wisdom and essentials of controlling these laws and use them freely. This is a simple rule.

First, variability is the proper meaning of management.

Management organizations are constantly moving and changing. In the process of managing an organization, in order to ensure the high efficiency of management, when any one of the management elements, organizational environment, management subject, management object and organizational purpose changes, the means and methods of management behavior should also change accordingly. This is the variational principle.

The "easy" of change is the "meaning of change". Everything in the world is developing and changing, and management is no exception. There is no fixed and universally applicable management model in the world. The effectiveness of management methods is always related to specific management objects and environmental conditions. There is no one-size-fits-all management method, and there is no forever optimal management method. Loose management is not necessarily better than strict management; Specialization is not necessarily better than diversification; Decentralization is not necessarily better than centralization; The most effective management method in this enterprise is not necessarily the most effective in that enterprise; The most effective management method of the same enterprise in this department may not be the most effective in other departments; The most effective management method of the same enterprise and the same department in this period may not be the most effective in the future; The most effective management method of the same enterprise, the same department and the same period in this country may not be the most effective in other countries. Any excellent management methods and skills always correspond to a specific organization and a specific environment. When the organization and environment change, the management methods should also change. Any management should adapt to internal and external conditions and implement dynamic management. Managers should proceed from reality, seek truth from facts, and flexibly choose management methods without violating objective laws. The model essay realizes the organization's goal according to the change of objective conditions, and makes the organization develop continuously.

In the usual organizational management, the purpose of the organization usually does not change much, and the purpose of management is to safeguard the interests of the organization owners. However, due to the different internal and external conditions of the organization, the organizational environment, management subjects and management objects are very different. First of all, the management object is a dynamic system, which is a complex composed of many factors, including people, things and the environment. It is a constantly developing and changing system, and the management object is the key to determine the management method. For different forms of ownership, different industries, different departments and different personnel, there should be different management modes, such as industrial management and commercial management, service industry and manufacturing industry, managers and workshop workers, administrative personnel and technical personnel of the same enterprise. A certain method has different management methods in different development stages of the same enterprise. Similarly, different managers have different management methods for the same management object. For example, the same sentence may have different effects when spoken by different people. Similarly, different managers may have different effects. Organizational environment is also one of the important factors affecting management. Organize the formulation of specific policies, rules and regulations, and handle daily affairs. Business activities are carried out with a fixed structure, clearly defined grades and specific tasks of each organization member. However, the articles of association of the organization only adapt to the environment in which the organization is located. Once the organizational environment changes greatly, this form will inevitably not work. For example, after the establishment of the market economy, many state-owned institutions went bankrupt because they did not change with it, which corresponds to the constant movement and change of management factors. The means and methods of management behavior should also be changed accordingly. We can never find a fixed management behavior and function that can adapt to all changes in management elements. Organizations must establish a more adaptive dynamic management system. Variational principle shows that management is constantly moving and changing on the whole, which reflects the integrity of management. The principle of change requires every manager to make it clear ideologically that the management object and environment are developing and changing, so management cannot be static. Every manager must pay attention to collecting information, adjust in time, keep full flexibility and innovate constantly to adapt to the changes of objective things and effectively realize dynamic management.

Second, difficulty is the essence of management.

Although different organizations have different management behaviors, the management behaviors of the same organization are constantly changing in different periods, and there is no one-size-fits-all management behavior, but management behaviors can still be grasped and predicted, which is determined by the nature of management. The essence of management is the pursuit of efficiency. No matter how management behavior changes, it is all about the pursuit of efficiency, which is the fundamental and only purpose of management. This management difficulty embodies another principle of management-the difficulty principle. The principle of difficulty reflects the fundamental attribute of management and is an understanding of the essence of management.

The management of any enterprise is to improve efficiency and make the enterprise obtain higher benefits, which directly affects the survival and development of the enterprise. People must enhance their awareness of efficiency in management practice. Every decision, every management measure, should consider its results and the efficiency it brings. In all our work, we should focus on improving efficiency and always focus on improving efficiency. All links and work are centered on improving efficiency, scientifically and efficiently arranging, scheduling and handling manpower, financial resources and material resources, improving their use efficiency, and thus effectively achieving enterprise goals.

Since management became a science in this century, the complexity of management theory is rare in scientific theory. Among the management schools, there are many schools 10, such as management process school, management science school, social system school, decision-making theory school, system theory school, empiricism school, manager role school and contingency theory school. Management methods include task management method, system management, participation management, exception management, walking management, target management, etc. Organizational theories related to management include learning organization, enterprise reengineering, organizational behavior and so on. And many of them have long been derived by other management scientists, who have innovated after adding a new term. In fact, when we review the past management theories and analyze them carefully, we can find that different management schools are the practices of management scientists in different environments. All management theories aim at improving efficiency, but the methods are different. The reason why the methods are different is that the environment and angle of consideration of management scientists were different at that time. As far as every widely recognized management theory is concerned, it greatly improved the productivity at that time and gained more benefits for the enterprises and society at that time.

As far as an organization is concerned, among the four factors that affect management behavior, the organizational environment, management objects and management subjects are different from organization to organization, and the changes of these three factors lead to changes in management behavior, but the organizational purpose of the other factor is the same in any organization, that is, the organizational purpose is to maximize the interests of the organization owners, which is the same in any organization, that is, the pursuit of efficiency is the soul of management. Management is to achieve greater efficiency, and in order to make management better and more effective, all work must turn to the track centered on improving efficiency.

3. Simplicity is a scientific management method.

Variational principle and difficulty principle show that management behavior changes constantly with different management elements, but management behavior changes anyway, but the essence of management behavior remains unchanged. Therefore, when we manage, we should adopt different management behaviors and methods according to different management elements in the face of different environments, different organizations and different conditions. However, no matter how different the management behaviors and methods are, they remain unchanged. The essence of management behavior is the pursuit of efficiency, and managers should grasp the essence of management, that is, the pursuit of constant efficiency. This is the meaning of the principle of simplicity. "Simple" means "simple and easy to do". Mastering simple principles helps to quickly find ways and means to solve management problems. Modern social management is becoming more and more complicated, and we should pursue simple principles. Only in this way can we always grasp the direction in the ever-changing environment and use it freely in the unpredictable competitive environment. In this way, leaders can get rid of the transaction pile and concentrate on managing important affairs.

In management, managers should strive to grasp the main contradictions, focus on solving key problems, focus on grasping the general trend of things as a whole, and pursue the overall efficiency of things, rather than sticking to specific management methods. It is more appropriate to use an idiom to explain it, that is, "there is no definite law in law, and all laws belong to sects." In management, it is impossible for us to design static management functions, methods and processes in advance, but as long as we firmly grasp the purpose of management and pursue efficiency, we can adjust and feedback control at any time and finally achieve organizational goals.

In fact, the best management should be the simplest management. For an excellent manager, his management level is reflected in his understanding of the most basic management principles. Excellent managers all have a common feature. They all think that management is very simple. Excellent managers all have a basic management viewpoint. They all judge according to this basic point when dealing with management work, and always focus on this point. World-class management experts all adopt concise methods. When expounding his investment principles, American stock king Buffett said: In my opinion, investment decisions can be summarized in six words, namely "simple, traditional and easy". In short, you just need to remember the following rules: Rule 1: Don't fail. Rule number two: always remember rule number one. If you can root these three thoughts in your ideological framework, you can't operate rationally in the stock market. Ben. In the last chapter of the book Smart Investor, Graham reveals the four most important words in investment: "Ensure safety". I think even after a hundred years, these ideas are still the basis of investment. With the development of society, the breadth and depth of people's understanding and transformation of the world have been greatly expanded and deepened, and the content of the contradiction between the management subject and the management object has become more and more abundant. Contradictions within organizations, between organizations and individuals, between organizations and external environment are increasingly intertwined, infiltrated and transformed, and the content of management activities is becoming more and more complex, which requires more and more specialized agencies to coordinate. People can't adapt to the current and future management by relying on past experience. The functions of management are more and more extensive, the behaviors of organizations are more and more diversified, and the management methods and technologies are more and more complicated. All this ultimately boils down to the complexity of the requirements for managers. Therefore, many new management functions have been "innovated" by people. Management is becoming more and more complicated. How can we always grasp the direction in the ever-changing environment and remain invincible in the unpredictable competitive environment? Very simple, it is to master the correct management principles and use the correct management methods.
