    Abstract:

    Professor Sheng extends the integrity of management to “a complete process”in his paper “Management: From Systematic to Complexity”, which embodies the dynamic characteristics of management. Starting from the systematic nature of management, he comprehensively discusses the complexity of management, and builds the architecture of “complexity management”. In this paper, he extends the concept of management from the systematic perspective to a complexity perspective, and clarifies the association and evolution of the essential attributes of management. In the methodological perspective, he proposes a criterion for identifying complex management and general management, and furthermore constructs a theoretical methods system for complexity management. This paper is a masterpiece showing his profound insights and is a major leap in production management theory. The paper inspires us in the following ways: different management theories and methods should be adopted conditionally for different management problems. Moreover, besides the production ( service) management activities, how to construct“complexity management”system architecture for generalized management activities is a valuable research direction in future management studies.
