Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-70543-1 - Leadership and Management in China: Philosophies, Theories, and Practices Edited by Chao-Chuan Chen and Yueh-Ting Lee Frontmatter More information Leadership and Management in China | With the rise of China in the global economy, it has never been more important for business leaders to understand Chinese leadership philoso- phies and practices. This is the first book to explain how ancient Chinese thinking and Western thought have shaped the development of leadership styles in China. Leadership theories associated with Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, the Art of War, and the writings of Mao and Deng are analyzed 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 practiced by business leaders in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China. Leadership and Management in China provides a significant step for- ward in understanding the complex and varied nature of leadership styles in modern Chinese business. 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. © Cambridge University Press Cambridge
