“世界级企业”的概念最早见于1987年《电讯通讯》杂志,但是真正使之与中国企业联系在一起的是美国管理学会前主席威廉?纽曼教授。这位曾经将企业战略管理理论引进中国的学者于1995年出席了在中国承德举办的一个动态一体化战略研讨班,提出“中国需要在竞争性行业发展自己的世界级企业”。 The concept of “world-class enterprise” first appeared in Telecommunications Magazine 1987, but what really brought it to contact with Chinese companies was Professor William Newman, former chairman of the Institute of Management. The scholar who once introduced the theory of strategic management of enterprises in China attended a seminar on dynamic integration strategy held in Chengde, China in 1995 and proposed that “China needs to develop its own world-class enterprise in a competitive industry.”
