About This Book

The Chinese Admiral Zheng He (1371-1435) is widely known as a near-legendary seafarer but Professor Hum of the NUS Business School draws from his experiences and writings many principles of management which are applicable in today's contexts. In Part 1 the Admiral's leadership and non-confrontational management are described and contrasted with the classic principles of the Art of War set out by Sun Zi. In Part 2 Zheng He's leadership principles and practices, human resource management and logistics and supply chain management are all related to contemporary contexts. The final chapter looks at the implications for management practices of the Admiral's religious faith. With reference notes and index.
