...Family culture and strongman Control in Huawei Being ranked No. 1 of “most influential Chinese business leaders” by Fortune China in three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013, Zhengfei Ren, the founder, controlling shareholder and CEO of Huawei is almost regarded as hero of the company.1 He has been the man who is influencing and inspiring the whole company since it was founded in 1987. Now, Huawei is a global leading company in ICT (information and communication technology) solution with revenue in 2012 more than 35 billion dollars.2 The magic rise of Huawei is largely attributed to the family based strongman culture with strong executive force from the top and ability to make long-term planning, but, as far as I can see, will hardly ensure future success. The inner network of relations called “organizational enthusiasm” plays an important role in Huawei’s internal management. Ren, is the one who “set fire” in the company. After serving in the PLA (Chinese Liberation Army) for several years, Ren created the Huawei Empire almost from nothing in his forties. He is described as extremely optimistic and strong. 3 As a small team with few resources, Ren’s enthusiasm and strong entrepreneurship is what kept people around him, working with him to their best. Rather than relationship between boss and staff, this, original from Chinese guanxi culture, this organizational enthusiasm is more like personal loyalty, trust and affection. Stronger than pure staff loyalty, this relationship...

...Huawei “wolf-sheep” “Wolf culture” contributes to Huawei’s success. However, absolute “Wolf” may cause trouble at the same time. Like the saying “every coin has two sides”, the glorious culture and tradition of Huawei still have some sad effects. “Sheep culture” on the other side, represent gentle and sedulous. It may not as strong and fast as “Wolf”, but its sense of soft is more warm and humanistic. As a Chinese traditional value of “Zhongyong”, the Doctrine of the Mean delivers，one should try to maintain balance and harmony from directing the mind to a state of constant equilibrium. This concept here represents moderation in business competition both within the organization and with other companies. Here we take a careful look at Huawei’s “Wolf culture” deficiency and what they did to improve. Detailed characteristics of the “wolf culture” and their flaws （1） Mattress culture The well-known “mattress” culture encourages employees to work overtime. However this tradition is not suitable for a established company expanding overseas. （2） Staff（work） number culture Everyone in Huawei has a staff number including Ren himself. People use this to recognize positions of each other and treat them differently in work. This culture builds a rigid class concept within the company and brought some harms. （3） Strict discipline The so-called “basic law” and other strict rules raise a great spiritual pressure and rational tension among employees. They are all overwhelming and anxious...

...In today’s society, we don’t hear cases about monsters scaring children and transforming into heroes. Monsters that turn into heroes come off as rare in the fiction world where most people only see one side of a monster. Two works that suggest monsters becoming heroes are The Cat in the Hat and Monsters Inc. At first, these monsters come about as scary looking but that’s not how these selctions end up; finishing with a twist in the end with monsters showing a care for human children. While written 40 years apart, Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat and Pete Docter’s film Monsters Inc. demonstrate responsible behavior in interactions with children and show the flawed characters who though their journey have monster heroes who interact with human children and then accept responsibility for the messes they have created. The Cat in the Hat and Monsters Inc. portray a child’s adventure as a result of showing up unexpectedly.

...Nike has been around much longer than most would think and continues to be the leading trend setter in athletic wear. Nike was started in January of 1964. The athletic company began as just a small clothing distributing company out of the truck of Phil Knight’s, owner and CEO of Nikes, Car. The Saying you started from the bottom is very true when it comes to Nike who now leads in sales of all athletic gear compared to Adidas who at the time of 1964 was the most popular athletic company. From starting in a truck of a car no one would suspect that this company would not only be defined as the definition of ‘cool’ when purchasing clothing and shoes from stores all over the United States but yet the brand that carries our pop culture. Nike started with two key people that pushed this company Bill Bowerman , Co founder of Nike and olympic track coach, his search for lighter and much more durable racing shoes for his Oregon State track runners. Combined with Phil Knight's need to make a living while still living out his passion for the athletics. The two became friends over track and the desire to find products that gave a better performance than what was available to them at that time, between the two of them, the seed was planted and from that came the most influential sporting company. A key moment in Nike history was when Phil Knight traveled to Japan on a world-tour searching for a call on his life trying to decided what he was meant to do with this new goal on a random whim he...
