| Summary: | 1. The knowledge lacuna and implications -- 2. Existing knowledge of strategic thinking -- 3. Language and thinking : the root of difference -- 4. Idiosyncrasies of the Chinese strategic mind -- 5. Chinese stratagem culture -- 6. The Chinese strategic mind at work : the case of Mao Zedong -- 7. The Chinese strategic mind at work : Huawei China's rise to become a leading global power challenges both Western policy makers and business leaders. Written from a Chinese perspective, this book addresses the following question: does the Chinese strategic mind have its own idiosyncrasies that differ considerably from the West? The expert author, Hong Liu, systematically explores the processes of the Chinese strategic mind by expounding and unraveling the particular characteristics: what they are, how they have evolved and what strategic implications they have. With detailed case studies to elucidate how the Chinese strategic mind has worked, this book successfully synthesises knowledge from distinct academic fields such as military studies, philosophy, psychology, history, sociology, linguistics and strategic management. Providing a framework for Western practitioners to consider Chinese ways of thinking, this book will be of interest to decision-makers in business and government. It will also be of use to academics in the fields of strategic management, international relations and politics looking for a new perspective in their research |
