Leadership and Management in China
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-0-521-87961-3 (ISBN)
With the rise of China in the global economy, it has never been more important for business leaders to understand Chinese leadership philosophies and practices. This is the first book to explain how ancient Chinese thinking and Western ideas have shaped the development of leadership styles in China. Leadership theories associated with Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, the Arts of War, and the writings of Mao and Deng are analysed by both Chinese and Western experts. To set this in a modern business context, the book includes interviews with top executives, who reflect on how their business values are affected by ancient Chinese philosophers, modern Chinese leaders, and Western management writers and thinkers. The book also includes research on paternalistic leadership as practised by business leaders in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China.
Chao-Chuan Chen is Professor of Management and Global Business at Rutgers Business School, Rutgers University. Yueh-Ting Lee is Professor of Psychology and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Toledo.
