Abstract

The mainstream, hitherto Anglo-American dominated management education faces increasing challenge from both inside and outside the business circles in Europe and America. Instead of offering an ad hoc list of Confucius’ wisdom on management, the authors of this paper aim to build up a thesis on how Confucianism may help to counter balance the deviation. And it is found such interaction may be best presented on three levels: (1) ontology of the management discipline; (2) epistemology and related methodology of the management discipline; and (3) value and practice instilled in the management education.
