Talking About Enterprise Management From The Infinite Monkey Theorem

Let a monkey knock on the piano, as long as it gives it unlimited time, always pop-up "Ninth Symphony"; let a lot of monkeys knock on the piano, as long as the number of monkeys is enough, it will inevitably pop out the "Ninth Symphony" (there is always one can only play the "Ninth Symphony"), this is the famous "infinite monkey theorem".

This theorem is originally an example of one of the zero or one laws in probability theory.

Looking at the "unlimited monkey theorem" from the perspective of management will bring many inspirations to the managers of enterprises.

For enterprise employees, after professional training and professional skills learning, they can complete the tasks assigned by the organization according to the procedural process. This reflects the scientific nature of management. The establishment of a project management team around the organizational goals, together with the outstanding workers in the enterprise, can achieve the optimal allocation of resources, and achieve the task of organizing the tasks efficiently in a short time. This reflects the artistry of management.

In 1881, Taylor, the father of scientific management, carried out the famous "metal cutting experiment", which marked the birth of scientific management theory.

The scientific nature of management shows that the management activities of enterprises have certain objective laws and process systems. Employees can master the skills of management through vocational training and technological learning. With the continuous progress of production technology, the scientificity of management in enterprises is more reflected in lean production, standardized production, flow production and information automation operation.

However, as the most important factor in management activities, people should give full play to the role of "informal organizations" in management, apply appropriate management knowledge to specific management activities, and make decisions through accumulation of rich management experience and keen industrial insight. This reflects the artistry of management.

Welch, known as "the world's first CEO," once said, "let the right people do the right job is the greatest leadership skill of a manager."

It is perhaps the highest level of human resources management of an enterprise to make the right person do the right thing and improve the work efficiency.

Professor Mills of Harvard Business School believes that management has three levels: management, management and leadership.

In terms of human resources management, excellent HR will employ talents who are most suitable for enterprises through effective recruitment and interviews at the "leadership" level.

After new employees enter the enterprise, HR can conduct targeted induction training according to their temperament, behavior style, interest and expertise, and then arrange suitable positions to achieve "quantity and use".

Through effective incentive assessment mechanism, we constantly stimulate employees' potential and achieve their organizational goals.

To create a win-win model for enterprises and employees.

In the "infinite monkey theorem", a monkey can complete the task, that is, knocking out the "Ninth Symphony", but it needs infinite time. Let an infinite number of monkeys knock together and knock out the "Ninth Symphony", but the time to complete the task is uncertain.

In these two cases, the task is completed.

Either too low or uncertain, this will lead to the introspection of business managers.

If there is a good communication between monkeys and monkeys and a clear division of labor, will soon knock out the "Ninth Symphony"?

Intra tissue

It can be divided into three types: leader communication, staff communication and communication between employees.

For leaders to communicate downwards, leaders should have an early understanding of the contents of staff reporting, be good at listening, pay attention to speech skills, put down their attitudes, and be able to view subordinates' opinions correctly so as to avoid the occurrence of individualism and empiricism.

For staff communication, multiple choice questions, more feasibility analysis, and communication with leaders in advance to prepare the solution of the problem, rather than to ask questions for leaders, should pay attention to the key points in conversation, concise and comprehensive.

For communication between employees, staff and employees should be frank and honest, establish good interpersonal relationships, learn to praise and listen, fight less, do more, tolerate dissidents, and reach a consensus in effective communication, so that they can accomplish the goals and tasks of the organization more clearly.
