A Taoist scholar and a highly experienced corporate reformer who has led over 2,000 Japanese companies to transform their organizations shares the vision that the wisdom deeply rooted in Japanese traditions can provide valuable guidance to corporations around the world. Management Ideas from the East offers an adept insight into management philosophies that derive from a unique Japanese philosophy and classic Chinese texts whose concepts were widely integrated in prewar Japan. They include the teachings of the Four Books and Five Classics, Taoism, Sun-tzu, Zen, Zeami, Honen, Dogen Zenji, Sen no Rikyu, Matsuo Basho and Musashi Miyamoto. The book looks into the concepts of corporation-society and company-employee relationships, the roles of corporations, the essence of leadership as well as the meaning of work that were once widely recognized and respected in Japan. Having the idea of marrying Eastern wisdom and Western practice as its basis, Management Ideas from the East offers business leaders, Japanese or otherwise, an insightful reading and fresh global thinking for the 21st century.
