Abstract
Globalization brings managers not only opportunities but also challenges for adapting to the different national cultures. The author extracted the cultural essence from Chinese ancient texts such as The Analects, Mengzi, Liji, Mozi, and Liezi to construct a conceptual framework of Chinese philosophies and values. The Chinese values were empirically tested using the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS). The chapter indicates that Chinese culture is individualistic, collectivistic, and altruistic which differs from most previous literature that Chinese people are solely collectivistic. Some practical guidelines on how to establish and maintain good relationships with Chinese people are presented.
