Summary:

This book is a collection of ten articles investigating the relationship between Chinese wisdom and the practice of modern management. The prefatory article contributed by Master Xuecheng, the President of the Buddhist Association of China, presents the utilisation of Buddha's wisdom in the management of the modern world and human society. The six articles in Part One look into the managerial wisdom contained in the main schools of Chinese philosophy, including Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Legalism and Militarism, and explores their application and inspiration to the management of business, human resources, and monasteries. The three essays in Part Two focus on managerial wisdom derived from historical books and great Chinese historical figures.This endeavour in rediscovering the modern application and values of Chinese wisdom hidden within traditional Chinese culture and philosophy provides the study of modern management rooted in Western culture with fresh ideas and oriental perspectives. This book is an essential resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and practitioners working in the areas of business management, human resources, intercultural communication and Chinese studies.
