三星变革企业文化：现在开始，叫我创业公司 - 三星,三星电子 - IT资讯

北京时间3月24日消息，据路透社报道，三星电子周四宣布，计划采用一种类似于创业公司的企业文化，寻求让公司在增长放缓之际变得更为灵活。

三星高管将签署一份保证书，承诺抛弃自上而下的企业文化，转向能够培养员工畅所欲言的工作环境。作为三星集团的旗舰公司，三星电子还将削减员工层级数量，更为频繁地举行业务部门主管与员工之间的在线讨论活动。

“我们的目的是改革公司内部文化，像一家创业公司那样快速执行，推动开放式交流，不断创新，”三星在一份声明中称。

三星的这一决定是集团在危机时期所尝试彻底变革的最新举措，呼应了三星集团董事长李健熙在1993年对公司高管的训词：“除了老婆孩子，一切都要变。”

由于受到智能机利润快速下滑的冲击，而且缺乏新业务推动增长，三星正承受着外界要求改革企业文化的压力，从军事化的职场文化转向培养创新精神。

一些三星在职员工和前员工表示，像三星这样的公司很难实现自身转型。三星目前的全球员工数量超过30万人。分析师也表示，三星尝试改变其企业文化面临风险，可能会失去作为一家快速执行硬件公司的优势。

三星表示，公司还将减少不必要的内部会议，简化报告程序以提高生产力，向员工提供培训以强化他们的“必胜信念”。三星也将削减不必要的加班和周末工作，推动员工将时间花在他们的家人身上，或利用好学习机会。

自从2014年心脏病发作以来，李健熙一直在住院治疗。三星集团目前正在进行权力过渡，逐渐由李健熙的儿子李在镕(Jay Y. Lee)掌权。近几年来，三星还采取了其它措施放松严格的企业文化，包括弹性工作时间、放松周末上班的着装要求，降低对员工在下班后参加饮酒活动的压力。下班后饮酒是韩国企业文化的一个重要组成部分。
