Features: In the context of globalization, with the rise of China's economy, Chinese management thought is increasingly demonstrating great value and vibrant vitality. Therefore, fully exploring traditional humanistic resources and enhancing management efficiency have become the historical mission of contemporary Chinese business management scholars and an inevitable choice for Chinese business leaders. Represented by Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought laid the foundation for Chinese civilization and had a profound impact on various aspects such as political systems, economic behavior, rituals, customs, daily life, and science and technology. They also became the tools for successive emperors, wise ministers, and officials in governing the state, administering officials, and managing people. Starting from the practical needs of Chinese management, the author systematically explains the management details of Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, substantiating them with historical successes and failures, and combines case studies of leading domestic and international companies to showcase the subtleties of Chinese management thought.
