The application of China's traditional management thought in modern enterprise management Abstract: The fundamental task of management is for managers to set goals for the organization and use the resources of the organization to achieve this goal. Countries and enterprises are organizations, so there are similarities between them. Because Confucianism is in the central and mainstream position in China's traditional culture, it may provide ideas and motivation for modern enterprises while providing the theory of governing the country for China's feudal society. Keywords: Confucian management of China traditional culture Text: China traditional culture has a long history and is profound. It is a precious spiritual wealth created by the Chinese nation in the long historical years and belongs to all mankind. For a long historical period, China culture has been in the leading position in the world and has made great contributions to world civilization. Today, the essence of China's ancient culture continues to play an important role in China and even the world. People in modern society are not machines, but "people" with consciousness, feelings and social relations. Everyone has his unique social relations and complex humanistic background, and the scientific management system is inevitably influenced by it in the process of implementation. The culture of the Chinese nation has a long-term historical accumulation, people's psychological concepts, moral standards and value orientations are diverse and changeable, and people's social interests are diverse. These factors constitute the particularity of China's humanistic background, which is often inextricably linked with the requirements of scientific management system. Traditional culture has a great influence on all fields of our country, and it is of great practical significance to study the influence of traditional culture on our management. The ethical management thought represented by Confucianism can be summarized as "self-cultivation" and "keeping the family in order". If we use modern management theory to interpret it, it is to take self-management as the starting point and social management as the process, and finally achieve the goal of "leveling the world". It is the logical deduction of his management thought that "learning to be excellent is to be an official, knowing and doing are one, honesty is the foundation, self-cultivation is in order, and the country is flat." Confucian thinkers in ancient China believed that the management of family, industry, country and world is only the difference in population and scope, but there is no essential difference in management mode and method. Family management method is also applicable to enterprises and even countries, thus forming China's traditional management thought based on family management. In recent years, we have noticed that both private enterprises growing up in the mainland and China enterprises enjoying a long reputation in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Southeast Asia are family businesses, and their management concepts and cultural heritage of successful operation are all traditional China culture. At the same time, the entrepreneurial environment of Chinese overseas makes them have to work hard by themselves and rely on the cooperation of their families and the help of their fellow villagers to succeed. Therefore, there is naturally a kind of trust and affection between family members and fellow villagers, and an ethical management model based on tolerance, kindness and equality has been formed in management. The fundamental task of management is that managers set goals for the organization and use the resources of the organization to achieve this goal. Countries and enterprises are organizations, so there are similarities between them. Because Confucianism is in the central and mainstream position in China's traditional culture, this thought not only provides the theory of governing the country for China's feudal society, but also may provide ideas and motivation for modern enterprises. The following is the application of China's traditional management thought in modern enterprise management. First of all, as a modern enterprise manager-entrepreneur, what kind of requirements should you have for yourself? What kind of business ideas and concepts should be established? This is the most fundamental question whether an enterprise can run well. The moral requirements for people (gentlemen) in China's ancient traditional culture are of great reference value in this respect. For example, is the purpose of running a business "for yourself" or "altruism"? By what means and methods to make money? What will you do when you make money in business? How to deal with the relationship between enterprises, laborers and social and natural? And so on, these questions can be inspired by China's ancient management thought, and even find the answer. The most fundamental way to solve this problem is to improve the quality and cultivation of entrepreneurs themselves, which is exactly what Confucianism advocates and pursues. Secondly, strategic decision-making is one of the key issues for the success of modern enterprises. Although its importance and methods have been discussed in modern management science, a large number of cases and experiences in ancient China, whether in governing the country or in wars, are undoubtedly instructive and instructive for modern enterprises to make strategic decisions. They can turn boring decision-making theory into colorful management practice, and draw a philosophical picture for modern enterprise leaders that correct and wrong strategic decisions lead to success and failure. As long as you appreciate and think carefully, entrepreneurs will get a lot of inspiration and inspiration from it, so that their strategic decisions will not make or make fewer mistakes. Thirdly, another important issue of management is the problem of employing people, and China's ancient management thought also has extremely rich theory and practice in this respect. When discussing his success with ministers, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once said: I am not as good as Han Xin in fighting, not as good as Sean in making suggestions, and not as good as Xiao He in managing the rear and continuously transporting grain and grass to the front. All three of them are outstanding people. But I can make them work for me, so I succeeded. He owes his success to employing people, which makes sense. China has always attached importance to the use of people and has many successful experiences. For example, people should have both ability and political integrity, strengths and doubts. Modern enterprises should use excellent people to guide and ensure the success of enterprise management, and we can get a lot of enlightenment from China's ancient management thought. When it comes to the application of China's ancient management thought in modern enterprises, we must discuss two famous works of China: The Art of War and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which were once the representatives of China's ancient management thought applied to enterprise management. It should be said that these two masterpieces are of great enlightening value to enterprises in the modern market economy. The reason is that the competition between enterprises under the condition of modern market economy is similar to war, and the appearance of the word "commercial war" illustrates this point. The competition between enterprises is to compete for the market, which is similar to the competition between the two sides for land. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Sun Tzu's The Art of War, which studies the laws of combat, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Sun Tzu's The Art of War, which play a "graphic" role, are valued by entrepreneurs. However, at present, the modern market economy has moved from the era of "big fish eat small fish" to the era of seeking both sides to achieve "win-win", and the practice of seeking to destroy each other with various strategies is no longer suitable for the current situation. Therefore, when studying and using these two ancient masterpieces, we should analyze and discard the useless. Generally speaking, the concept of traditional management in ancient China is people-oriented, with the characteristics of emphasizing harmony, stability and group consciousness. In terms of thinking methods, unlike western culture, which emphasizes analysis, norms and individuals, eastern culture emphasizes comprehensiveness, wholeness, emotion and collectivity. From the perspective of management, the management concepts of the East and the West have their own advantages and disadvantages, but there is no difference. At present, the rise of humanistic management in the West shows the rationality of our advocacy of learning and applying China's ancient management thoughts. But at the same time, we should also learn the essence of scientific management which represents the spirit of western culture, and combine them organically to create and publish enterprise management theories and methods with China characteristics, which is a major historical task before us. In accordance with the principle of "taking myself as the main body, learning from others' strengths, learning from others' strengths, and being unique" put forward by Comrade Yuan, while studying and applying China's ancient management thoughts and foreign advanced management experience, we should sum up and improve the practical experience of China's contemporary enterprise management in time and turn it into theory, so as to make unremitting efforts to create a management theory with China characteristics.
