Take the mobile phone industry as an example. Chinese companies have advancedalotinproducingmobileterminals,butarestillweakatproducingchips. As for the software of mobile phones, while many app developers are Chinese companies,theglobal operating systems arestillcontrolled bytwoUScompanies, Apple and Google. Therefore,althoughthenumberofChinesecompanieslistedamongtheFortune Global500maycatchupwiththatoftheUSAwithinafewyears,thefundamental “operating systems” of major industries are still in the hand of European and US companies, with Chinese companies focusing mostly on developing “apps.” The situation is neither optimistic in the field of business management. Among the 2017 Global “Management Thinkers 50,” the top 25 are all Western. Ruimin Zhang,CEOofHaier,istheonlyonefromChinawhoisshort-listed,ranked26th. IfyoutakealookatbooksrelatedtocorporatemanagementinChina’sdomestic market, you will find that most of the best-selling books are “imported goods.” A few books written by Chinese that enter the best-selling list are mostly cases or entrepreneurs’ personal biographies, whereas books introduced of Western coun- tries are associated with rules or principles of management. If we regard companies as “apps” developed based on entrepreneurs’ manage- ment insights, the “operating systems” of Chinese companies are almost all imported. Despite the fact that “knowledge has no borders,” it is hard to imagine that Chinese companies developed based on the “management operating systems” of Europe and USA can outperform European and US companies. To this end, it is a need of developing Chinese companies’ own “management operating system,” based on their external environment, values, and management experiences. v vi Preface A complete “management operating system” should cover four levels of phi- losophy, theory, tools, and experience. Philosophy is the value of management, theory is the mind-set of management, tools are the methodology of management, and experience is the accumulation of management practices. Co-evolution Strategy Canvas is a “management operating system.” Philosophy: Understanding the “people,” “issue,” and “time” of companies from the perspective of “human, earth, sky”; understanding the “thesis–antithesis–syn- thesis” of decision-making from the perspective of systematicness and dynamics. Theory: Developing a theoretical framework that addresses 5W1H, that is Why, Who, What, Where, When, and How, fundamental strategic issues of companies from the perspective of the four elements, four stages, and four paths of strategy. Tools: Providing more than 50 practical tools that help to analyze the elements of people and issues, internal and external aspects of business strategy, and to understand the strategic points of different stages in firms’ life cycle. Experience: Summarizing a set of strategic mind-sets from more than 200 com- panies’ cases, which has been verified by many outstanding entrepreneurs and managers. No matter you are an entrepreneur, a manager, or a talent in companies, Co-evolution Strategy Canvas can help you to understand the current position, undertake the whole picture, predict the ending, and cope with changes.
