Features: This book is based on the I Ching and aims to integrate traditional Chinese wisdom with the spirit of Western science. With the of "making Chinese management science-oriented and science management Chinese-oriented," it is characterized by the integration of science, culture, and art. It emphasizes the combination of management functions with Chinese cultural resources (especially philosophical wisdom and moral values), allowing them to complement each other, resulting in the birth of the "C Theory." The "C Theory" is an academic achievement that arises from the author's observation of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, the differences between Eastern and Western social organizations, Eastern and Western philosophical thinking, value experiences, and historical experiences. By applying the philosophical thought of the I Ching from China, it innovates research. It permeates the words of the seven traditional Chinese academic schools (Yi, Confucianism, Taoism, Military Strategy, Mohism, Legalism, and Chan) into the functions of management in each part and the overall management system. It not only becomes an intellectual resource for management functions but also a moral resource for managers to exercise their management functions. It further corrects the lack of humanistic or human-centered thinking in microeconomics, making management more aligned with the needs and ideals of overall human development. It holds significant reference value for the development of Chinese management studies and Chinese enterprise management.
