On the one hand, the challenges faced by enterprises are becoming more and more diversified; on the other hand, the shortcomings of business education itself are gradually emerging.

The most important resource in an enterprise is "people", and the most serious problem is also "people". This book reveals many little-known "human" behavior patterns and activity mechanisms, and provides scientific methods and insights for managers to enter the inner world of employees and create a cohesive corporate culture.

This book is a classic management textbook written by Stephen P. Robbins, an authority on organizational behavior in the United States and a professor of management at the University of San Diego. It has been revised and reprinted 9 times since its publication. It has been a best-seller for 20 years and has been recognized by the United States as It has been selected as a textbook by many universities and business schools, and is welcomed by teachers, students and business readers from all over the world.

This book has 19 chapters in 6 chapters.

In particular, the author summarizes many novel and original perspectives from a large number of research cases and data, such as the perspective of groups and conflicts.

9. "Corporate Financial Management"

This is a very popular domestic and foreign corporate financial management textbook. It should be said that the same type and very good textbook is Meyers "Principles of Corporate Finance" and so on, but this book seems to be adopted more. In addition to the good original book itself, the reasons also include: the strong promotion of the Machinery Industry Press; the translation of the book is relatively good; its framework is relatively more suitable for Chinese readers, etc.

I have read several versions of this book and taught it to several students. If you do not have any foundation in corporate finance, this book can be used as an introductory book. After studying domestic textbooks, this book can also be used as a reference, because some of the contents are relatively complex. However, the content in this book is too far away from domestic practice, and some theoretical explanations are not comprehensive enough.

So, if you want to understand the framework of corporate finance and have a big-picture understanding of it, this book is a good one. If you want to learn more about theory, you should read "Principles of Corporate Finance". If it is more complicated, you need to read "Financial Theory and Corporate Decision-making" just copied by Peking University Press. If it is more complicated, you should read "Principles of Corporate Finance" by Tirole. . If you want to understand the practice, reading this book will not achieve this goal. It should be said that there is basically no such book. You may need to regularly read magazines such as the three major securities newspapers and Securities Market Weekly.

Another issue that needs attention is that foreign corporate finance textbooks, including many domestic ones, focus on how to explain the company's financial management behavior, but in reality they are more concerned with how to manage finances. As for how to manage money, it is often a topic that management accounting researchers are more familiar with or concerned about.

10. "Principles of Accounting"

Introduction to the content of "Principles of Accounting" (18th Edition) - With my country's accession to the WTO, more and more domestic enterprises have participated in In the face of international competition, the ability to think, work, and communicate in internationally accepted languages ??is increasingly valued. Such an ability has also become an effective tool for all types of talents in our country to participate in competition. National educational institutions, various colleges and universities, and some major textbook publishing units have been thinking about how to adapt to this development trend and promote personnel at all levels to acquire this ability through learning. Bilingual teaching is an attempt in this context.
