Marcus Wallenberg: 我认为企业能够持续175年的关键在于适应时代变化。这包括应对剧烈的技术变革,例如蒸汽机时代、电气化时代、互联网时代以及如今的人工智能时代。我们家族在几代人的传承中,始终保持着这种适应性,并为此感到自豪。 我们家族的成功不仅体现在商业领域,也体现在对科研和教育的支持上。通过家族基金会,我们能够将公司利润回馈社会,并帮助家族更好地了解科技发展趋势,这有助于我们更好地适应时代变化。 我们家族的价值观是默默地做出积极影响,而非站在前台。我们努力与公司密切合作,创造长期价值,并通过基金会支持瑞典大学,提升瑞典的竞争力。 即使是沃伦伯格家族成员,也需要通过努力工作和学习来承担责任,而不是仅仅依靠家族背景。看到公司发展和大学科研成果转化为社会进步,让我感到满足。 瑞典企业成功的秘诀在于其长期以来对竞争力的重视,这迫使他们不断创新。瑞典公司成功的另一个因素是其国际化战略,这要求他们了解不同的市场需求并适应变化。 责任需要与能力相匹配,家族责任重大,但需要团队合作才能有效承担。家族成功的关键在于与志同道合的人合作,共同承担责任,并分享价值观。 家族基金会的设立,避免了家族财富继承中的纠纷,并促进了家族成员对事业的持续投入。 优秀公司的特质包括:优秀的管理团队、良好的市场地位、强大的创新能力、稳定的财务状况等。投资组合中的大多数公司都面临着巨大的创新压力,以保持竞争力。 基金会资助基础研究和高风险研究,并强调研究成果的开放性,这与瑞典的创新文化相符。 当今世界面临着地缘政治、科技进步和气候变化等诸多复杂挑战,这影响着我们的决策。我们采取循序渐进的方式进行投资,最近增加了对爱立信的持股比例。 EQT的成功源于其与美国投资者合作的经验,以及其对长期发展和创新的重视。与EQT的合作,让我们学习到如何在私募股权领域运作,并借鉴其长期主义和创新理念。 瑞典皇家工程学院的成员身份,让我能够参与到瑞典社会的重要议题讨论中,并为政策制定提供建议。政府、企业和学术界之间有效合作的关键在于开放沟通和互相学习。 人脉网络对于了解全球动态、获取机会和寻求建议至关重要。维护人脉网络需要持续的努力和投入,并且需要真正享受建立人际关系的过程。从不同领域汲取灵感,有助于理解技术变革并推动创新。 优秀领导者的共同特质包括:敬业、精力充沛、知识渊博、判断力强以及在困境中坚持不懈的能力。现代科技改变了领导方式,例如远程办公和线上沟通工具的应用。 面对困境,保持积极乐观的心态至关重要。培养领导者需要跨公司、跨领域的经验积累。将责任下放给员工,有助于培养更多优秀的领导者。 有效的董事长能够运用智慧和经验,具有前瞻性,并能及时发现和解决问题。CEO和董事长角色分离的模式,有助于CEO减轻压力,并获得支持和挑战。一股一票制是基于契约权利,公司有权根据自身情况决定股权结构。 户外运动有助于放松身心,并激发新的想法。保持思想活跃的关键在于接触不同的领域和事物。对年轻人来说,保持好奇心、努力工作并追寻兴趣爱好很重要。
