The spirit of entrepreneurship
Since China launched reform and opening up in the late 1970s, a large number of entrepreneurs have emerged, creating and leading enterprises and building strong core competitiveness. They have made a significant contribution to social wealth, creating jobs, promoting social and economic development, and increasing China's overall strength.
Xi Jinping has on different occasions talked about entrepreneurship and the roles and skills of business people. This shows the central leadership's attention to this group. Xi points out that further reform will release the potential vigor of the market, while market vigor comes from people, particularly business people and their entrepreneurial spirit.
The spirit of entrepreneurship is characterized by patriotism, professional dedication, law-abiding conduct, diligent work, innovation, pursuit of quality, and the courage to shoulder obligations and serve society. To foster entrepreneurship under the market economy, there needs to be a sound legal environment that enables entrepreneurs to focus on business development—one that respects them and encourages their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity.
企业家精神
改革开放至今,中国一大批优秀企业家在市场竞争中迅速成长,一大批具有核心竞争力的企业不断涌现,为积累社会财富、创造就业岗位、促进经济社会发展、增强综合国力作出了重要贡献。
中共十八大以来,习近平总书记多次提到“企业家精神”“企业家作用”“企业家才能”等关键词,体现了以习近平同志为核心的党中央在治国理政过程中对企业家群体的高度重视。习近平指出:全面深化改革,就要激发市场蕴藏的活力。市场活力来自于人,特别是来自于企业家,来自于企业家精神。
这一精神的主要内涵包括:爱国敬业遵纪守法艰苦奋斗的精神,创新发展专注品质追求卓越的精神,履行责任敢于担当服务社会的精神等。企业家精神的繁荣不可能凭空而来,只有进一步依法营造有利于企业家干事创业的法治环境,创造尊重企业家、鼓励企业家的社会氛围与机制,才能调动企业家的积极性、主动性与创造性,企业家精神才能在市场经济下应运而生,生长繁荣。
