Features: In this book, Professor Zeng Shiqiang traverses the past and present, connects East and West, and for the first time proposes the M Theory, also known as the Theory of the Middle Way in Management. He systematically summarizes his years of research on Chinese-style management thought and constructs an easy-to-understand and implement humanistic management system. The so-called Middle Way Management refers to the management of the Doctrine of the Mean, which means implementing reasonable management that aligns with human nature based on the principles of benevolence, righteousness, and propriety, aiming for the right balance to bring people peace. Based on a detailed analysis of human nature and Western X and Y theories, Professor Zeng Shiqiang proposes the three dimensions of management according to the Great Learning: "The Way of Bringing People Peace," "The Way of Flexibility and Prudence," and "The Way of Mutual Understanding." He represents these with the M Theory, believing that Chinese-style management should aim to bring people peace, adapt according to flexibility and prudence, and foster harmonious cooperation through mutual understanding (putting oneself in others' shoes). The purpose is to return to the source, understand human nature, and help managers in various fields implement the Middle Way Management that truly suits the Chinese. The thoughts in this book are round and smooth, making it the pinnacle work in Professor Zeng Shiqiang's series on Chinese-style management. Through it, Chinese managers can not only grasp the essence of the most wise Chinese management philosophy but also clear their minds, adapt to "the times" and create "the way," reaching the highest realm of humanistic management.
