Features: Management is like dining. Chinese cuisine emphasizes slow-cooking with balanced nutrition. The Chinese Way of Management deeply understands Chinese philosophy, offering a rich feast of management for Chinese entrepreneurs and managers. The Chinese Way of Management refers to the proper application of Western modern management science based on Chinese management philosophy, fully considering the cultural traditions and psychological behavioral characteristics of Chinese people to achieve better management outcomes. The Chinese Way of Management is essentially rational management, emphasizing that management is a process of self-improvement and bringing peace to others. With "bringing peace to others" as its ultimate goal, it is more inclusive. Grounded in the theory of the I Ching, it rationally adapts to the phenomenon of "unity in diversity and diversity in unity" in human affairs. It advocates starting with personal self-cultivation before being qualified to engage in management, with business being a practical exercise of self-improvement, family harmony, and state governance. Professor Zeng Shiqiang has been promoting the Chinese Way of Management since the 1980s. Over the past two decades, wherever there are Chinese people, those with more practical management experience have shown enthusiastic responses to the Chinese Way of Management he teaches. They have all expressed that it has always been this way, but they were previously aware of the "what" without understanding the "why." In the 21st century, it is an era where Chinese management philosophy and Western management science combine and flourish. A lack of professionals in either field will hinder progress.
