Service Design and Inamori Kazuo  

Inamori Kazuo, a world-famous industrialist and philosopher who has created two Fortune Global 500 companies. His mission is to contribute to the advancement of human society while pursuing employee spirit and material wealth. Coincidentally, "Transformation by Service Design in China" not only refers to serving employees, but also includes "employee experience", treating employees as internal customers, respecting employees, improving their experience, and providing employees with valuable services.

Many management books talk about shareholder value, social responsibility, and customer service, but few books talk about serving staff and grow with employees.”  Wang Lei, CEO of HZ Book said.

Service Design and Chen Chunhua

Chen Chunhua, is one of the most famous professor in business, and famous in corporate culture and strategy. She believes that symbiosis, sharing, co-creation is the evolutionary path for the future of corporate organizations. 

"Co-creation is not a new concept. However, in the Internet era, people open their minds, making symbiosis, sharing, and co-creation possible." HZ Book CEO, Wang Lei said at the press conference.

"If there is no “together”, there will be no “creation”. Without “together”, there will be no “life”, no “together” or “win”. The concept of "together" becomes very important. If you don't understand this, you will be subverted." -Professor Chen Chunhua

Dean, BIMBA Business School, National Development Research Institute, Beijing University

It is precisely because of the "Transformation by Service Design in China" that coincides with so many masters and classic ideas. This is why so many CEOs have heavily pushed this book, and helped it reach top 25 ranking so quickly after publication.
