Chinese Business Ethics: Global Perspectives and Local Reconfiguration

Abstract

This review examines the book "Chinese Business Ethics: Global Perspectives and Local Reconfiguration" (in Chinese 中国商业伦理学：全球视野与本土重构), edited by Lü Li, Huang Haixiao, et al., which offers a pioneering exploration of business ethics through the lens of Chinese philosophical traditions and global frameworks. The book addresses the dominance of Western theories in Chinese business ethics education and proposes a localized perspective by integrating Confucian, Daoist, and other indigenous ethical principles. Through seven thematic chapters, the authors analyze topics such as marketing, human resource management, accounting, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, providing theoretical insights and practical applications. Enriched with vivid case studies, this work bridges the gap between historical traditions and contemporary business challenges, offering a model of ethical decision-making that is both culturally rooted and globally resonant. This review highlights the contributions of the book to the field of business ethics and its potential to inspire future scholarship and practice.
