For the development of state-owned enterprises, the expression in previous years was "bigger and stronger", but now it is "stronger, better and bigger", which not only increases the goal of "Excellence", but also adjusts the ranking, and "big" ranks last. The significance of the change of emphasis is self-evident, which reflects the new expectations of the central government for the development of state-owned enterprises. "Slimming and keeping fit" is a targeted prescription for some state-owned enterprises, especially for the outstanding problems such as weak main business, redundant personnel and low efficiency, especially the management and legal person levels are many and the number of subsidiaries is huge. Slimming and keeping fit is an anthropomorphic expression, which explains the meaning of "strong" and "big" from another angle-the strength of state-owned enterprises should not be "puffiness", and being strong and big does not mean attacking from all sides and covering all aspects.
The dialectical unity of "becoming stronger and bigger" and "slimming and keeping fit" means that state-owned enterprises should make progress and retreat, and both increase and decrease. As clearly put forward in the guiding opinions of the Central Committee and the State Council on deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises in September last year, "we should make progress and retreat, do something and do something, and optimize the layout structure of state-owned capital". Through reform, it is necessary to promote the high-end concentration of state-owned capital in important industries and key areas, forward-looking and strategic industries and industrial chain value chains that are related to national security and the lifeline of the national economy and people's livelihood. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) has repeatedly stressed that central enterprises should focus on their main businesses and divest non-main businesses and non-main businesses. As early as 20 10, 78 central enterprises not engaged in real estate were asked to clean up their real estate business. Retreat is conducive to concentrating resources and strength on key areas and important industries and better serving the national strategy. Focusing on the main business is not only the content of "slimming and keeping fit", but also the only way to become stronger, better and bigger.
The general emphasis is to be stronger, better and bigger. State-owned enterprises should be stronger, better and bigger, but "big" can't simply understand why they all do it. To be big, we should not only emphasize the scale, but also be "strong" and "excellent", which is a strong and excellent "big". After years of rapid development, some state-owned enterprises have reached a considerable scale. At present, the main problem is that they are not "strong" enough, and the ineffective departments have affected the operational efficiency of enterprises. Reducing unnecessary burden, clearing excess capacity, streamlining business chain and optimizing resource allocation through "slimming and strengthening the body" will help to enhance the vitality, influence and anti-risk ability of central enterprises and truly become stronger, better and bigger.
