Expert: Huawei enterprise culture has defects

Gu Xiaoming, a professor at Fudan University, has been paying attention to the abnormal deaths of Huawei employees. "Suicide is not in direct proportion to suffering. It cannot be said that Huawei employees choose to commit suicide only when they suffer more than others ." Gu Xiaoming said that the common cause of suicide is that the company did not provide them with a transparent and friendly communication atmosphere, which is irrelevant to employee suicide.

Talking about Huawei's corporate culture, Gu Xiaoming said that Huawei's respect for "Mattress culture" and "Wolf culture" is understandable in the context of fierce competition in the IT industry. "Huawei also faces jungle rules, but the corporate culture they choose is not the best ."

Gu Xiaoming said that it enterprises all want to use their mental resources to stimulate productivity to the maximum extent possible. However, Huawei adopts the plan economy, small-scale farmers economy, Industry In the old production mode, it is inevitable that employees lack express channels. "Some of the world's leading companies, from getting started with casual clothes, to allowing employees to take pets to work, and paying for water, electricity, coal, fitness, and children's schooling, this can also greatly stimulate the creativity of its employees."

Gu Xiaoming told reporters that Huawei's corporate culture is flawed. "Huawei has become a typical enterprise culture transition period, or a target, attracting a great deal of attention as soon as the wind blows ." "The problems faced by Huawei are actually exists in many enterprises. Therefore, the building jumping events of Huawei employees should be reflected on by everyone ."

Gu Xiaoming said that similar enterprises should reflect on their own corporate culture through the Huawei incident. In what direction should they develop? While stimulating employees' productivity, we should try to adopt a healthier and more humane management model.
