Differences in management between foreign companies, state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises
Thread Content
Let’s discuss what the general differences are in management between foreign companies, state-owned enterprises, and private companies. For example, in state-owned enterprises, working hours aren’t as strictly regulated; if you start work at 8 o’clock and arrive at 9, the manager doesn’t really care as long as the work is completed by the designated time. You can also do other things while at work, haha – the management style is quite humane. I wonder what’s the case in foreign companies and private companies?
When it comes to management, private enterprises are simply a mess.
Not all state-owned enterprises are like what you said; even within one such enterprise, some employees may act arbitrarily, while others cannot. There’s no general rule; this topic is rather boring.
Hehe, there’s not much to say about private companies – if you have a close relationship with your boss, you don’t even need to go to work~
I don’t think work hours in state-owned enterprises are chaotic. The requirements here are very strict. It has to be at the specified time, no matter what. In private companies, I’ve seen that aside from a few people who work hard and show up on time, the rest don’t really follow the rules.
Foreign companies are generally quite organized. Our company doesn’t use time clocks, but everyone arrives and leaves on time; we fill out monthly attendance reports by ourselves, with overtime being counted starting from half an hour. The office is relatively quiet during working hours; aside from low-volume discussions about work matters, there’s no casual chatter, though it is a bit dull, haha
China’s national conditions allow the pests within state-owned enterprises to survive.
In fact, state-owned enterprises are also changing and improving little by little. That’s the situation with me right now; there is still a big gap compared to foreign companies. I hope the reforms can be more thorough!
Private enterprises also vary in size; those with strict management will surely see improved efficiency, while smaller ones are usually more chaotic, with no set procedures or systems for carrying out tasks. Visionary owners will gradually establish policies, which makes management less strenuous； I think it must be easy to make money working for state-owned enterprises, as there’s time for personal activities; but I’ve never worked there, so it’s just an opinion: lol
I have worked at all three types of companies! State-owned enterprises are stable, offer low salaries, and have few opportunities for growth! Foreign companies are relatively stable and offer high salaries, but there are fewer opportunities for growth! Private companies have poor stability, high salaries, and great career opportunities! It depends on how you view your career! This post was last edited by asdffg on 2009-4-15 14:25]
Family-style management of private enterprises is not very good either!
Why does what you say sound so like something from a foreign company! Many foreign companies also allow employees to arrive late, as long as they finish their work. However, in foreign companies, you can’t do your own things during working hours.
You’ve only worked in state-owned enterprises, but management there is quite strict. No matter how strict the management system is, it will be ineffective for some people.
I used to work in a state-owned enterprise; now I work in a private one. It seems that each type of company has its own strengths in terms of management, but neither is very standardized. The shortcomings that existed in state-owned enterprises also appear in private enterprises, such as favoritism and reliance on personal connections. I wonder how it is in foreign companies?
It seems that there are big differences among private companies; the company I worked for the year before last had very strict rules, while the current company is much more relaxed.
State-owned enterprises are not as strict as the poster claims; most of them have strict regulations, and in some companies you even need to use a card to enter. There is strict control within these organizations, with regular checks on labor discipline. Moreover, a lot of work has to be done at night or on weekends, and working overtime is common (and free).
Each issue should be analyzed on its own; it’s not possible to make generalizations! ! !
We work for a foreign company in Singapore; we start work at 8 o’clock, with a morning meeting starting at 7:45. After that, there are assessments, and if it’s after 8 o’clock, it’s considered tardiness and results in a fine! The key word is simply “strict”!
These three cannot be treated as a single category~ It is an undeniable fact that state-owned enterprises have poor benefits, limited incentives, an oversized workforce, and serious nepotism! I work for a state-owned enterprise; the proportion of young people there is severely skewed – there are too many of them. It’s obvious that in the future they won’t have any money, nor will there be any opportunities for them to advance in their careers~!
State-owned enterprise management also needs to be reformed
