Actually I just want to act

Chapter 636 The Importance of Information

Fang Jiming is very free recently, he doesn't care about movie promotion.On weekdays, apart from going to class, he just finds time to date Lin Qingyi.

On this day, Lin Qingyi seemed a little gloomy.

Fang Jiming asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Lin Qingyi made it clear that something was up, Fang Jiming was not so easy to fool.

"Qingyi, just tell me if you have anything, I should be able to share some of it for you." Fang Jiming said.

Lin Qingyi thought for a while, and then said: "The professor disagrees with me."

"Oh, tell me?" Fang Jiming took her hand and came to a coffee shop.This is a newly opened coffee shop. With the entry of Western culture, coffee shops are also rapidly rising in first-tier cities.Many middle-class people began to pursue a petty bourgeoisie life, and also liked to come to coffee shops to order a cup of coffee in an arty way.

Fang Jiming, on the other hand, brought Lin Qingyi here simply because he thought the environment in the coffee shop was good.In fact, both of them are not used to drinking this kind of coffee, and they have to put a lot of sugar every time.

When the coffee was served, Lin Qingyi said: "The professor thinks that the future information management system will be a top-down system that communicates commands. I think that if it is management, it should be flat. Top-down is correct. , but after going through too many levels, it will cause redundancy of information and incomplete delivery."

Fang Jiming said with certainty: "You are right." Indeed, only those who have run a business know that only flat management can make order delivery more effective.In this case, management costs can be saved and economic benefits can be improved.Most importantly, it is convenient for managers to control the entire company.

Of course, it is not without disadvantages, it is big and incomplete.Flat management is most suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Once the number of people increases, it will not be able to adapt.Therefore, there must be subsystems to cooperate.If this is the case, it is not flat management.

"But the professor is superstitious about hierarchical management. I don't think it suits China's national conditions." Lin Qingyi was a little distressed.

Fang Jiming said with a smile: "Why not try vertical management? That is, the responsibility system, which is the management method used in our country." Indeed, because of vertical management, China's administrative departments are very efficient, at least surpassing the world's on most countries.The so-called vertical management refers to the management mode from top to bottom and from bottom to top. The management of a department needs to have a mechanism and run in an orderly manner. Then the vertical management mode can be uploaded and distributed, implemented layer by layer, and checked at each level. , improve efficiency and quality.

"Vertical management?"

Lin Qingyi was a little strange, she hadn't been exposed to this term yet.In other words, the concept is the same, but the name is different.

Fang Jiming said: "The business network of the vertical management department forms its own system and connects the entire company through the intranet. The advantage of this is that it adapts to the management of a large company, allows each department to have its own vitality, and can stimulate employee creativity. Of course, this also has disadvantages, and it is easy to cause problems such as data falsification and production safety."

"So you mean that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for flat management, while large companies are suitable for vertical management?" Lin Qingyi seemed to have a clear understanding.

"Yes."

Fang Jiming smiled, "But this is just a general statement. In actual operation, it is normal for multiple management ideas to coexist. There is no fixed management method. As long as the information is transmitted quickly and the execution is strong, it is a good management method. Yes. In terms of this management method, the simpler the better, as long as it can quickly convey orders, quickly execute orders, and report progress at any time, such an information management system is already very good. If it can make the best use of the situation and fit the company's development situation, then It’s even more powerful.”

Lin Qingyi nodded, her pretty jaw trembling slightly.Fang Jiming looked at her long eyelashes, and suddenly felt that such Lin Qingyi was very attractive.It is said that serious men are the most beautiful, but serious women are also very beautiful.

"The coffee is getting cold."

Fang Jiming reminded her that this beautiful latte art was pulled out of shape by Lin Qingyi's unconscious stirring of the coffee spoon.

Lin Qingyi suddenly said: "That is to say, in fact, what kind of management method is not important, what matters is whether it is suitable or not?"

Fang Jiming nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, even my companies have different management methods, even very different! This is because each company is unique. If the same management model , is likely to embark on the road to bankruptcy.”

Lin Qingyi seemed to have untied the knot in her heart, her joy was beyond words, she picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Fang Jiming actually does not understand the operation of the information management system, because it is not just a program problem, but also information collection, information transmission, information storage, information processing, information maintenance and information use, etc. .Not only computer science, such as network communication, database, computer language, etc., but also mathematics: statistics, operations research, linear programming, etc., and even management, simulation and other disciplines.

So to put it this way, information is an extremely important resource in management. The success or failure of management depends on whether effective decisions can be made, and the correctness of decisions depends to a large extent on the quality of information.

In other words, the transmission of information determines the success or failure of a company.

Don't think this is a joke, there are definitely examples to prove it.

For example, Jianlibao, which was very prosperous in the previous life, finally collapsed in the midst of various disputes about the ownership of the shares.And why is there such an unclear ownership of shares?It's very simple, because the government of a certain place leaked information.It's fine if it leaks in a small area, let Jianlibao's employees know about it.After the employees knew about it, the boss of Jianlibao also knew about it, so a protracted lawsuit began, which finally brought down a company.

There are also many companies, because of the leakage of business information, they have leaked their foundations, and in the end they can only lose in the market.

There are so many examples.

Although Fang Jiming doesn't understand much, it's enough for his girlfriend to understand!

Especially for a company like Baidu, with the information management system designed by Lin Qingyi, it is really even more powerful.

"Let's go to the movies, it's been a long time since I've seen a movie."

Lin Qingyi said suddenly.

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I haven't watched much of the recent movies."

"I heard that there is a very good movie "The Silent Man" recently. It is about family affection." Lin Qingyi said, "My roommate watched it a few days ago and came back crying."

Fang Jiming didn't pay much attention to the situation of the movie, and became slightly interested: "Is it an urban movie?"

"No, it's about 20 years ago."

Lin Qingyi said, "At the time of reform and opening up, under the conflict between new ideas and old ideas, family affection was also put to the test."
