Introduction

Abstract

Harmony is a central concept in the Asian spiritual and social thought. Although similar concepts and ideals can be found in the West, they do not play as decisive a role as in the Asian context. In the context of the Asian culture, the problem of harmony and conflict can be perceived as the problem of explaining and justifying the creation or pursuit of harmony, or the problem of providing a resolution of conflict in the interests of harmony. It is the basic purpose of this book to provide a timely evaluation of how a harmonious business environment can be created and managed successfully in an increasingly turbulent business environment.
