The 46 original case studies featured in this book demonstrate that
in many business sectors, local people and foreigners are
responding to the challenges of achieving business success while
competing with integrity. Cases are divided into eight sub-topics
discussing internet and social media issues, labor issues,
corporate social responsibility, product and food safety, Chinese
suppliers and production, environmental issues, corporate
governance, as well as business and society in China. Each case is
followed by a discussion section, with questions to prompt
reflection. This book is a valuable resource for students of
International Business and Management, as well as entrepreneurs and
business managers working and doing business in China.
This book addresses an essential need felt by many who seek to
promote best business practices in China and East Asia - namely the
need for culturally appropriate instructional materials (basic
information, case studies and ethical perspectives) that will allow
managers and entrepreneurs to understand and embrace the challenge
of moral leadership in business. In an era characterized by
globalization and the increasing importance of the economies of
China, India, Japan and SE Asia, international business ethics must
reflect the concerns of the people living and working in this area,
the moral and spiritual traditions that have nurtured them and
their specific contributions to sustainable development. This book
presents twenty important case studies, taken from newsworthy
events of the past few years, in which Asians and others have
attempted to respond to this challenge. Each case study has been
selected and shaped in order to highlight various aspects of doing
business in Asia, starting with basic principles and moving on to
the specific responsibilities that businesses have towards their
various stakeholders. The authors contend that the best way to
appreciate the relevance of Asian moral and spiritual traditions is
to determine their specific contribution to virtue ethics, where
the ancient traditions of both East and West converge in their
focus on the qualities of moral leadership that form the basis of
best business practice. Exploring the case studies will enable
readers to appreciate the continued relevance of these ethical
perspectives in Asian business. Best business practice clearly
involves learning to do business and playing the game according to
the rules; but the necessity of playing by the rules is not likely
to become clear until one takes up the path that leads to a
virtuous life in business, developing a moral character chiefly
based on integrity.
This book is the first volume of a projected series of six
handbooks on various aspects involved in contemporary encounters
with China and her people. The book argues for a hands-on approach
of dialogue with China, which seems to be crucial for business
success in China. Bearing in mind the various present clashes with
China and an increasing negative image of China internationally,
the book is conceived as a handbook reflecting the experiences of
observers who provide helpful hints to better understand and
appreciate Chinese culture without being blindfolded by multiple
traps and pitfalls.The book features a selection of articles
published in the Macau Ricci Institute Journal (MRIJ) in its first
six issues from 2017 through 2020. The essays featured in this book
provide elements for a frank appraisal of China's Belt and Road
Initiative, by highlighting the PRC government's aspirations for
the project, while examining these in the light of the practical
problems encountered by both hosts and representatives among the
participants in BRI projects.

This collection focuses on the meaning of the common good and what
resources Christian theology, biblical studies, and ethics might
contribute to our understanding of it. The rationale for the
discussion is ultimately theological. Whether under the formal
rubric of "common good" discourse or not, the meaning of a
commitment to community and the duties and claims of the individual
related to the community have never been more pressing concerns. We
must recognize that the thinking about the common good is intrinsic
to the very character of Christian faith and the ethos it invokes.
The biblical vision is in a most profound way a vision of the
common good. Whether expressed in notions of justice and mercy, the
care of the weak, covenantal living, or the new Jerusalem, the
meaning of being human and living with the neighbor are so
intrinsically bound together that there is no escaping involvement
in the search for the common good in our time.
