Philosophical Foundations of Eminent Hong Kong Chinese CEOs’ Leadership

Because of the importance of Confucian doctrines in shaping ethical business practices under Chinese leadership, revealing the roles of other Chinese ethical doctrines in modern Chinese leadership is informative. A thorough understanding of the ethical foundations of Chinese leadership is necessary for fruitful interaction with Chinese leaders, according to cultural fit theory. The present study illustrates the philosophical foundations of business management, based on dialogues with five eminent corporate executive officers (CEOs). It reveals that the CEOs practice a style of Chinese leadership synthesizing Confucian, Daoist, Mohist, and Legalist doctrines. The Confucian doctrines advocate benevolence, harmony, learning, loyalty, righteousness, and humility. They are the most prevalent tenets that support paternalism and collectivism. The Daoist doctrines emphasize flexibility and reversion (e.g., the principle that the weak can defeat the strong). They bolster the leader’s forbearance. The Mohist doctrines underpin thrift and working with the masses whereas the Legalist doctrines inculcate self-control and innovativeness. Hence, contemporary Chinese leadership does not rely exclusively on Confucian ethics and this reflects evolution over 1000s of years.     

Chivalrous idealist and pragmatic strategist: the influence of Mohist values on Ma Yun’s leadership in China

ABSTRACT

In the study of leadership within the private sector in China, few scholars have tried to link ancient Chinese teachings to the present leadership style beyond the level of highlighting Confucianism and/or militarist philosophy. This study argues that Mohist teachings are the foundation of Ma Yun’s leadership in Alibaba.com. Using three propositions of (a) Ma Yun’s motivation to become a start-up CEO, (b) structuring his business using his inter-national skills and linguistic competences and (c) shaping his leader-ship style based on the Mohist teachings, one of the minority schools of ancient Chinese philosophy, this paper finds that innovative firms in China such as Alibaba.com deliberately shies themselves from conventional symbols of Confucianism or militarist teachings to accommodate Western managerial in the name of unpopular ancient Chinese teachings. The result of Ma Yun’s leadership is successful corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance amid rapid innovation within his company. Our results show that Ma Yun’s Mohist quality and balance of justice and interests are the most effective measurement indicators of Ma Yun’s internal operations; values of eloquent rhetoric, a chivalrous spirit, and mutual love have promoted Alibaba’s external reputation and expansion and constitute important indicators.     

论墨侠精神及其现代价值

中国传统文化系多个文化流派的融合,如：儒、道、法、佛等,已成共识,但学术界对在先秦时尊为“显学”的墨家学说却提及甚少,甚至不少人认为墨学自汉代以后就彻底消失了。墨学真的消失了吗？从历代活跃在民间的“侠”中,我们看到了“墨”的影子。本文通过分析墨、侠的源流关系、对侠义精神的认识以及侠受墨学影响的表现等,证明了墨学并未消失,它一直以侠的形式流传在民间,直至今天仍彰显其时代价值。

中国传统文化中的国家治理思想初探——以儒家、道家和墨家为例

中国优秀传统文化中内蕴着丰富的国家治理思想。"仁治""德治""礼治"是儒家治国思想的重要内容;老子"无为而治"和"非战"的思想,以及庄子"人道"与"天道"相统一的思想,是道家治国思想体系的重要组成部分;"兼爱""非攻""尚贤"则是墨家学派治国思想的精华。探索和挖掘中国传统文化中的国家治理思想对今天推进国家治理现代化的实践具有重要的现实意义。
