每个具有远大理想的企业似乎总是早早就彰显自己的不凡之处。1920年代,当托马斯·沃森开始正式拥有IBM的前身CTR时,这个公司就表现得与众不同。其时“前IBM”的员工工资就已经比一般工厂的工人工资要高,工作场所非常干净、整洁。下班以后,工人还可以参加免费的音乐会,而且公司要求工人上夜校以了解被提升的机会和程序,最重要的是,他们的工装上都印着“THINK”的标志,鼓励员工只有多动脑筋才可以前进得更快。这个核心价值逐渐被世人所广泛认同且赞赏,并至今仍然为接手IBM个人电脑业务的联想企业所采用。 Every company with lofty ideals seems to always highlight its own extraordinary place. In the 1920s, when Thomas Watson began to officially own IBM’s predecessor, CTR, the company performed differently. At the time, the wages of the former IBM employees were already higher than those of ordinary workers, and the workplace was very clean and tidy. After work, workers can also participate in free concerts, and the company requires workers to attend evening classes to learn about the opportunities and procedures for promotion. The most important thing is that they have the “THINK” logo printed on their tooling to encourage employees only. More brains can move faster. This core value has gradually been widely recognized and appreciated by the world, and is still adopted by Lenovo’s enterprises that have taken over IBM’s personal computer business.
