Abstract

The traditional strategic thinking is based on mechanical worldview, which believed that as long as sufficient information is available, a formula can be used to predict the future development of the enterprise. However, in the era of big data, social development is involved with rapid-changed information and make mechanical thought invalid. By analyzing Taoist philosophy, this paper argues that tolerating the uncertainty is also a way to achieve the strategy, since an ambiguous strategy would be more appropriate in nowadays. Besides, finding the way in Taoism will provide a philosophical foundation for strategic management in the future.
