Transmission and application of 1. entropy increasing law in enterprise management.
First, let's look at the essence of the law of entropy increase. If abstracted, we will find that the essence of the law of entropy increase is that an isolated system will eventually decline. What is an isolated system? It is a closed system, and there is no energy exchange or material exchange with the outside world.
Enterprise, like life, is also a system. If it is an isolated system, there is neither energy exchange nor material exchange with the outside world, then it is doomed to face the end of entropy increase until entropy extinction. Therefore, in the process of enterprise management, we need to increase its energy exchange and material exchange with the outside world to counter the increase of entropy.
Peter drucker, a master of management, said: "There is only one thing that management should do, and that is to fight against the increase of entropy. In this process, the vitality of the enterprise will be enhanced, rather than silently dying out. " "Father of competitive strategy" Michael Porter said: "In biological organisms, the consumption of life energy is to maintain a delicate order. Organizations such as enterprises are composed of networks formed by people, and these networks have an absolute tendency to fall into a more chaotic state. "
Among entrepreneurs in China, Huawei's appointment is the one that can best convey the inherent logic of the law of entropy increase. He invested a lot of money in Huawei's research and development. Huawei has ranked first in the world in patent applications for many years. This is the constant exchange of input energy and output energy, which is an important feature of an open system.
Since 1997, Huawei has continuously introduced management experience from outside, including IBM, Accenture and Boston Consulting. As a result, Huawei has undergone continuous changes in management, organizational structure, processes and many other aspects. This laid the foundation for Huawei to become a global company.
Huawei also does research on mathematical algorithms in Russia, aesthetics in France, materials application in Japan, engineering manufacturing in Germany and software architecture in the United States ... It has established R&D institutions in 65,438+06 overseas cities, including dozens of competence centers, 90% of which are foreign experts. Whether it is huge investment in R&D, introducing external management experience or establishing R&D institutions overseas, Huawei, as a company, is constantly exchanging energy, information and materials with the outside world. This is to make Huawei an open system and make Huawei have the ability to resist entropy increase.
2. Apply the law of entropy increase to personal growth.
Why can the law of entropy increase be applied to personal growth? This is because each of us has our own psychological system. If a person's mind becomes an isolated system, there is neither energy exchange nor information exchange with the outside world, then it is doomed to face the end of entropy increase until entropy disappears. At that time, even if life is not over, your vitality will be like a stagnant pool because of mental stagnation.
