Enterprise management mainly manages four things: managing people, managing money, managing affairs and managing information. People are the subject of behavior, so it can be said that people-oriented management is the core of enterprise management.

According to Haier leaders, there is no shortage of talents in enterprises, and everyone is a talent. The key is to give full play to everyone's excellent quality and potential. Zhang Ruimin, president of Haier Group, believes that the main task of business leaders is not to find talents, but to establish a mechanism that can produce talents and keep this mechanism running healthily and persistently. This talent mechanism should give everyone an equal opportunity to compete. To this end, Haier people pretend to be horse racing, and with the high recognition of all employees, they constantly upgrade and improve this competition mechanism.

Specifically, Haier's horse racing mechanism includes three principles: first, fair competition, meritocracy, second, post ability and talents, and third, rational flow and dynamic management. The essence of Haier's human resources development and management is to give full play to everyone's potential, so that everyone can feel the pressure from enterprises and markets every day, and can turn the pressure into the driving force of competition. This is the secret of sustainable development of enterprises, that is, fair, just and open competition. In the final analysis, market competition is the competition of talents. What kind of talents have what kind of career, and whoever has more high-quality talents will win in the competition.
