About the Humanistic Management Network China Chapter

The China Chapter of the Humanistic Management Network is committed to developing and disseminating knowledge on humanistic leadership and humanistic management aligned with Chinese philosophies and traditions.

To this end, the Chapter provides a platform for researchers who are  interested in Chinese humanistic leadership and management research to share experiences and exchange ideas; and for Chinese business leaders to learn from their counterparts in the world how to enable their employees to thrive while sustaining their businesses. The Chapter also introduces Chinese humanistic leadership and management practices to the world.

We plan to share what we have written on humanistic management/leadership and introduce Chinese cases to the outside world. In addition, we will organize off-line activities at least once a year for colleagues and management practitioners to exchange ideas and share experiences. Specific dates and location will be announced a few months ahead.
