通用前总裁杰克·韦尔奇说:“GE(美国通用电气)的每一个下属公司,都必须在其领域内数一数二,否则,我们就会卖掉或关闭它。”中国台湾企业的经营管理的概念中,有一种叫“老二哲学”的说法,就是不做第一,不做第三,而只是紧紧跟在排名第一的后面做老二,瞄准机会再冲刺第一。也就是说,事实上没有一家企业愿意永远甘居第二的,老二也只是个过渡。创业者在创业之初,要学会做“老二”。 Jack Welch, former president of GM, said: “Every subsidiary of GE (GE) must be one of the best in its field. Otherwise, we will sell it or close it.” In the concept, there is a saying called “The Second Philosophy.” That is not to be the first and not to be the third. It is only to closely follow the second place behind the number one ranking and to take the opportunity to sprint first. In other words, in fact, no one company will always be willing to take second place, and second only a transition. Entrepreneurs must learn to be the “second child” at the beginning of their business.
