Book Description
History has proven that the most dynamic and creative management theories often arise in fast-growing economies. With the rapid development of China's economy, Chinese management styles have attracted more and more attention from management scholars and practitioners around the world. Derived from 40 years of theoretical research, Eastern Management is the crystallisation of 2,000 years of Chinese thought, theory and experience. It integrates Western and Eastern management styles and highlights the role of human nature in management. Above all, it holds that the guiding principles of Chinese management are putting people first, regarding morality as priority and conducting oneself to serve others.This book views management as a system with multiple micro, meso and macro levels, namely personal management, family governance, business governance and state governance. Through adopting multiple perspectives, multi-level analysis and syncretic theoretical approaches, this book aims to help people gain a deeper understanding of the commitment of Eastern and Chinese management communities to the harmony between humans and nature, individuals and society, and to people in general, as a means to gradually improve the conditions of human existence.
