Looking around the world, many famous enterprises rely on flat transformation to shape their brilliance. 2/kloc-in the last 20 years of the 20th century, American General Electric Company successfully jumped into the list of the world's best enterprises, with a century-old shop and a new branch in the old village. Its worldwide success is inseparable from Jack Welch's drastic flat reform. Welch asked GE to think like a "small company", because a small company has no complicated management level, and it makes decisions faster and acts more quickly. With the goal of flattening, GE reduced the management level from 8 to 4, and the enterprise was rejuvenated.
Reducing management levels is also a requirement of the government. According to 2 1 Century News Network, with the rapid and benign development of central enterprises, "a wide range of business areas and investment scope has also led to more and more' complex' management levels", and some industries have emerged pagoda-shaped enterprises with the highest management level 1 1. Since 2009, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) has issued the Notice on Investigating the Reduction of Enterprise Management Level by the Central Enterprises, which gives guidance for the reduction of enterprise management level. In recent years, the strategic deployment of "slimming and keeping fit, improving quality and increasing efficiency" has been clearly put forward.
The optimization and reconstruction of organizational hierarchy is not simply based on flattening. The goal of scientific flattening is to realize the perfect combination of management level and management dimension, which not only simplifies the system and management level, but also does not break through the limitation of managers' scope. Process reengineering and professional transformation are the basis of scientific flattening.
Einstein said: When facing important problems, we can't stay at the height of thinking when the problems occur. With the expansion of enterprise scale and the improvement of management level, we will become like a giant wearing a double sweater, unable to feel the external temperature and keenly judge the surrounding environment. Of course, we can use powerful administrative orders to improve the efficiency of enterprise information transmission under the existing system, but implementing organizational changes and establishing a flat organization will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
