China's rapid economic growth has been associated with a host of problems, ranging from labour exploitation to corruption and environmental destruction. A number of Chinese companies, however, have begun to take corporate social responsibility and ethical management seriously, some of them drawing on traditional Chinese philosophy and culture to formulate new approaches to doing business.
In this workshop, Stephan Rothlin and Matthias Niedenführ will outline the ideas and beliefs that drive these entrepreneurs and the ways in which several companies have concretely applied them in the work place and on the market.
