"He"(合 amalgamation) is an important addition to what we know about virtue (德), harmony (和), flexibility (柔), and credibility (诚), together constituting five Confucius philosophies used widely in Chinese management. Hé 合 focuses on how ordinary firms with ordinary resources can achieve extraordinary results through combinatively and complementarily using all resources available to the firm. It pinpoints a unique growth path for Chinese firms – build up their potent advantage or compensate for disadvantage by creatively combining open resources or generic capabilities, often resulting in high price-value ratio and quick response to market that suit particularly well mass markets. In this presentation I'll present a framework that delineates antecedents, conditions, processes, and outcomes of this Chinese management philosophy.
