This week I learned about management
theory, different person will have their own ways to management their
organization. In Hong Kong, I am interested in a business person which is Shih
Wing Ching. In 1978, he established Centaline Property Agency Limited, which is now one of the largest property agencies in both Hong Kong and China.
As he can able to create and lead a
sizable, influential company, and remain firmly in this tension market
competition, he must has his personal unique vision and perspective.
He said the philosophy of Sun Tzu has some impact to his administration. In this ideology, the concept can be used from ancient till now.
Sun Tzu had said that “politics, it is making people and the monarch share common goals with spirit, and enable people together through life and death without disloyalty to the emperor". Also, “society agreed the same value with the king” can be adapted in management, it is affiliated with the boss’s idea to be consistent. Therefore, Shih Wing Ching will use his own thoughts and ideas on a regular basis to share with employees, so that employees understand his theory. His company will hold monthly plenary meeting, he will express his management philosophy and the latest development. As a result, employees know the boss orientation and market situation. The staff will know how to handle their work without asked his opinion all the time. He believes that if the staffs are closed to the market, with the up-to-date market information, the staff can provide the best decision to him.
Under his management, the key factor is from the “Art of War”, it says “Ordering the many is like ordering the few. It is division and counting”. How to consolidate their power is more important than how to manage a group of people.
“Division” is crucial to an army as it must has good organizational structure. If the army compiled inappropriately, it is not easy to command, and cannot take good use of the advantages of a great force. In fact, in his supervision, apart from authorized strength, he needs to consider division of labor, responsibilities, autonomy and share the accomplishments.
