The Taoist school of inaction was an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasized that people should give up excessive self-awareness and desire to conform to nature in order to achieve inner peace and self-perfection. In business management, inaction can be seen as a management philosophy to help business managers better deal with the relationship between the enterprise and the external environment, avoid excessive decision-making and action, and better play to the advantages of the enterprise. The application of Taoist inaction in business management can be considered from the following aspects: 1. Avoiding excessive decision-making and action. In business management, excessive decision-making and action may lead to the waste and loss of resources, while the inaction thought emphasized on adapting to nature and avoiding excessive decision-making and action as much as possible. 2. Respect nature. Taoism's inaction thought believed that nature was the best way to manage and dominate. In enterprise management, we should respect nature and the resources and customer needs of the enterprise to achieve sustainable development. 3. Pursue inner peace and self-improvement. The idea of inaction emphasized that people should give up excessive self-demands and desires in pursuit of inner peace and self-improvement. In business management, it could also be reflected in the fact that business managers should pay attention to the mental health and self-development of employees. The application of Taoist inaction in enterprise management can help enterprise managers better deal with the relationship between the enterprise and the external environment, avoid excessive decision-making and action, respect nature, pursue inner peace and self-improvement, so as to better play the advantages of the enterprise and realize the sustainable development of the enterprise.
