This book is the first in a series on Chinese management based on the Global Chinese Management Conferences (from 2015 to 2017), an annual conference organized by the Sun Tzu Art of War Institute. The first volume is by FOO Check Teck, professor at Fudan and Hunan University and founding editor of Chinese Management Studies (SSCI), who encourages readers to broaden their minds to embrace the Universe as a Community. The book argues that the lives of all beings are worth preserving and urges the academic community to recognize the ideologies at heart of management and to see research as a deep, reflective thinking process that goes far beyond the testing of hypotheses - great works, lasting 2,500 years are the result of deep reflection upon experiences. It also calls for the re-framing of management integration of a variety of ideological strands, typically in topics in MBA or MPA programs: earnings, mobility of human capital, complex adaptive systems, HRM (in small high-tech firms), technology standardization, Xin (trust: labor relations), multi-leveling, re-forming (hospitals), He-Xie (doctoral work), upgrading (automobile industry). The major consequential consideration must be what it means for people.

Rick grew up in the small town of Warrenville, Ill. in the 1950s. Every day of Rick's childhood was an adventure and a lesson in survival. His innocent escapades illustrate the freedom, joy and frustration of a rapidly changing small town America. His grandfathers passed down traditional survival skills that Rick would carry with him throughout his lifetime. As Rick learned about family, farming, hunting, fishing, foraging and fast cars, he developed set of values that were unshakable. Little did he know that his experiences were preparing him for a war he never wanted to go to and would never fully return from. Rick left for Vietnam vowing not to die. He cheated death so many times, now it haunts him. "In Your Wildest Dreams" is a touching story of not just one American warrior, but an entire family, community and way of life.
