Entropy Increase Law and Enterprise Management
At the first half of the work analysis meeting of the group company, Yu Jianhong, general manager of the group company, quoted the concept of "Entropy " when explaining the work priorities for the future. So, what is "entropy " , and how to use the thinking of "entropy " to guide enterprise management?
The word entropy first comes from physics. According to the laws of thermodynamics, energy is conserved and can be converted into each other (such as mechanical energy into electrical energy) without disappearing. However, in the process of conversion, some energy will always be wasted. The wasted and unutilized energy is called "entropy " . 1877 , Austrian physicist Boltzmann (Ludwig Boltzmann ) gave a more precise explanation of "entropy " -"entropy " is used to measure "disorder " , that is, the higher the entropy value, the system will present a disordered chaotic state. Just like a rubber band, it will twist together when relaxed and will be relatively orderly when tightened. After the concept of
"entropy " was proposed, it was extended to many academic fields, such as business management. In the process of enterprise growth, it will always go through a process from disorder to order, continue to mature and develop, and seize more opportunities to become stronger and bigger; but when the enterprise is relatively mature, some problems will arise, such as The fragmentation between departments, the bureaucracy in management, the organizational structure tends to be bloated, and the ability to innovate declines. So Peter · Drucker, the great master of management, said: "The only thing management needs to do is how to oppose the increase of entropy. In this process, the vitality of the enterprise will increase instead of going to death silently. "
There is an important precondition for the increase of entropy, that is, the increase of entropy occurs in a closed system. Therefore, the most effective way to avoid entropy increase is to establish an open system that can continuously exchange energy and matter with the outside world. Because in the exchange with the outside world, the whole system will produce dissipation and negative entropy. Therefore, in the process of cancellation, the system can change from the original tendency to a disordered state to an ordered state.
For an enterprise, "Open " is very important, it needs to exchange with the external environment forever. For example, enterprises need to purchase external means of production and advanced technical equipment from the outside world. Enterprises need to be restricted by national laws, regulations and policies, supervised by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, audited by the tax department and paid taxes on time.
In order to make profits and develop normally, enterprises need to pay close attention to competitors in the market of similar products, so as to adopt corresponding competitive strategies. Enterprises need to understand consumer groups in various ways, communicate effectively with them, and adopt corresponding marketing strategies, etc.
At the same time, in the enterprise system, it must be constantly away from balance. "non-equilibrium state " is the source of order. For example, the establishment of competition mechanism within the enterprise, employees in order to obtain the promotion of position or salary, will work more actively, will take the initiative to expand their knowledge, improve their performance, and ultimately will improve the overall production efficiency of the enterprise.
So, looking at the problem with the law of entropy increase will simplify many seemingly complex concepts - Individuals and industries tend to be disordered, constantly introducing liquidity and using external forces to reduce entropy. At the same time, information is negative entropy, so we should ingest more information, especially the negative entropy of structured knowledge is higher. For enterprises, they should always maintain an open development mentality. Externally, constantly understand market changes, user needs, new technologies, and new policies; internally, it is necessary to stimulate the vitality of employees, encourage healthy competition among employees, and provide a higher driving force for the development of enterprises. For individuals, it is necessary to always know that the world is changing all the time. To stay still is to regress. In the time of continuous progress, we need to continuously learn and understand the new world and new changes in order to achieve upward improvement. Life pattern. (one word)

Daye Peak Cement Company, National "Green Factory"!
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently announced the 2022 national green manufacturing list, Daye Peak Cement Company successfully ranked among the national "green factories. Green manufacturing is also known as environmentally conscious manufacturing, that is, in the manufacturing process, a modern manufacturing model that comprehensively considers environmental impact and resource benefits. Its purpose is to use technical means to optimize manufacturing procedures, minimize the impact on the environment (negative effect), and resource utilization The highest rate, and the coordination and optimization of economic and social benefits of enterprises, so as to achieve the purpose of resource conservation and sustainable development. In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy, the state attaches great importance to the construction of ecological civilization and ecological environment protection, and further promoting the construction of green manufacturing system has become an important means to promote high-quality development and maintain green water and green mountains forever. As an important part of the green manufacturing system, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has organized and carried out the creation of national-level green factories since 2017, and has conducted nationwide selection. It is an authoritative recognition for companies that meet the "green development" and aims to improve my country's green Manufacturing system, comprehensive implementation of green manufacturing, and help the industrial sector achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, it is an important way to promote the structural optimization of various industries, to get out of trouble and upgrade, and to improve quality and efficiency.

"Cement Economy 50 People Forum" Jiang Xiaomeng Talk about the Future Development of Cement Industry
On March 14, the "Cement Economy 50 Forum" hosted by China Cement Network was held in Hangzhou, inviting 50 influential economic figures in the cement industry to discuss the future development of China's cement industry. Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of the group company, was invited to attend the forum to discuss the development of the cement industry with his peers. The theme of this forum is "strengthening confidence, seeking breakthrough, and promoting development". It aims to point out the disadvantages of "mud", actively provide suggestions for the competent departments, enterprise transformation and upgrading, strategic and tactical decision-making in the difficult period of the cement industry, and provide new think tank opinions and methods to help form a new cement economic ecology. In the context of the sharp decline in demand, the cement industry is trapped inside and outside, how to revive the glory? How do cement companies survive and develop next? Around these two topics, the guests at the meeting had a heated discussion. Jiang Xiaomeng pointed out in his speech at the forum that the development of any enterprise is inseparable from the healthy development of the industry. Only when the industry is good can the enterprise be good, and the interests of the industry are greater than the interests of the enterprise. In addition, the competition of similar enterprises should seek a breakthrough from the differentiation, and it is unreasonable to blindly pursue low prices. Industry synergy, industry synergy, supply, demand, price, to find a common price line, on the basis of competition and cooperation, from the management services, cost control and other aspects to highlight the advantages of enterprises. The participants reached consensus on many issues after heated discussions. It is generally believed that 2022 is the most complex year in the cement industry in the past decade, affected by the multi-point spread of the epidemic, real estate downturn and other factors, the cement market demand is sluggish, the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent, prices are falling rapidly, business difficulties, the pace of steady growth of the industry is blocked. Entering 2023, under the macroeconomic situation of stabilizing the economy and promoting development, as well as various regions stepping up efforts to promote the construction of major projects, cement demand is expected to increase in 2023 compared with 2022, and the situation in the second half of the year will be better than that in the first half. However, under the expectation of restorative growth in demand, the cement industry is still facing uncertainties such as continued bottoming of real estate, high energy costs, and overcapacity. In this regard, we should resolutely maintain the normal order of the industry, make concerted efforts to help the industry get out of the predicament, and firmly implement staggered peak production. Through mergers and acquisitions, carbon quotas, energy efficiency indicators, environmental protection indicators, coal indicators, market competition and other means to further resolve the contradiction of overcapacity, optimize the industrial layout, and adhere to innovation-driven in digital, intelligent and green development, so as to promote and finally realize the high-quality development of the cement industry.
