Summary:[...]it is also worthy of prominent emphasis, repeated advocacy, and development. [...]the ‘harmony’ of organization development can be achieved when management problems are identified by appropriate themes through parallel adoption of both the He Principle (HP) defined as an adaptive mechanism arising from organizational members’ initiative and self-determination, and the Xie Principle (XP) defined as a control mechanism based on rational design and optimization. [...]like what March did in his work, HXMT does not emphasize the personal characteristics of a leader, rather, it emphasizes the key role of leadership in dealing with the tension of coexistence of different logics - for example, exerting imagination, sticking to responsibilities, etc. [...]the research approach of HXMT that begins with good observation resonates with that of March.
