BJ-SDC Chairman Ray Liu Delivered an Opening Speech
Ray Liu, Chair of BJ-SDC delivered opening speech for the event. In his speech, Chair Liu said that it has been three years since the initial Traditional Chinese Culture and Its Application in Enterprises Forum was held in 2017 at Diaoyutai State Guest House. The forum has currently become a unique and major event in the management area with deep topics and incisive summary of practical experience.
Today, the global economic pattern is changing at a deep and comprehensive level, while the economic situation is still complicated and volatile. The barriers between industries are continously broken and boundaries of enterprises are broadened. In this context, enterprises play more divesified roles in social production and lives in this new era, which make us realize that we have to find the “root” and “essence” of business strategic plans and management from traditional Chinese culture.
Drucker Yu, Director of BJ-SDC, Deputy Director of Hua Tao Cultural Exchange Center at School of Humanities, Tsinghua University and Dean of Houde Positioning Academy.

Pro. Yang Zhuang, Co-Dean of BiMBA at National School of Development, Peking University
Professor Yang Zhuang combined advantages of western and eastern management, and put forward The Five Forces of Innovative Leadrs. In his speech, Professor Yang pointed that trade friction was not just an issue of trade, since it was also influenced by mindsets, development mode as well as management mode. And it was very meaningful to talk about Chinese management mode in the complicated, diversified and uncertain environment.
Li Ping, Li Dak Sum Chair Professor, University of Nottingham Ningbo China
Professor Li Ping explored Chinese Management Mode using Taoist Philosophy and he matched Chinese philosophy with its corresponding western philosophy, such as “Tao” to “Ontology”, “Yin and Yang” to “Epistemology”, and “Perception” to “Methodology”, and analyzed differences of the two philosophical systems.
“Tao” emphasizes oneness of heaven and earth; “Yin and Yang” belives all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposite; and “Perception” seeks integration of sensibility and rationality. Chinese philosophy is greatly distinct from western philosophy which emphasizes separation of subject and object, as well as logical consistency. Therefore, Chinese management could absorb wisdom from Chinese philosophy and achieve harmony but not uniformity, and find balance in paradox.
Yang Ping, Director of Beijing Cultural Review
Director Yang Ping believed that superposition was occuring in Chinese industrialization from perspectives of time, spatial structures and inner as well as outer factors. First, while developed countries have entered into an era of creative economy, China is still striving for industrialization with emergence of new economic missions; second, eastern China is working hard to realize industry upgrade, while middle and western China is rising up; third, when China is still trying to catch up with the America, America begins to advocates reindustrialization and attract manufactory industry to come back to the country.
Superposition in industrialization will face delimma in business ethics, which is caused by incomplete moral contract and lack of competition as well as innovation ethics.
