The conclusion was to include it into one of the world's major religions and it is "least conducive to capitalist development.

According to the theories of this school of philosophy, the worlds are sustained by the three ultimate, the sanji or elements called the universe, heaven, and earth. Heaven and earth form the basis of human actions and i-ching or the Book of Changes introduces the ying and yang the way of heavens, and the way of humans being righteousness. The metaphysical world in which we live and act is where we organize our behavior for our and the community good. (Yao, 2000, p. 22)
Stereotype of Chinese and American manager
The average westerner has a stereotype of the Chinese as a heard type of person with the individual having no say. In a study by Franz Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner in found that the French in comparison with the Chinese are more group oriented when it comes to specific issues related to the work as a group. Similarly the Italian groups took the responsibility of individual dereliction than did the Chinese. The Chinese have a very long history in business in the old world and take pride in their business acumen and thrift. The western thinking still holds on to the stereotype Chinese in the role of follower, or just a spoke in the wheel.

The creation of a barrier without understanding and segregating the Chinese into stereotype followers creates a 'management-by-stereotype' which will not be reflective to the advancement of the staff in the companies.

Thornton with this aim in mind began a training program at the Tsinghua University Beijing' which gave him the opportunity to reach the position he now occupies. Now on the board of China Network Communications he also has a significant post at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China -- ICBC and at China Netcom. He oversaw the creation of a corporate governance committee, the first step to China's transition to a modern economy preserving the legacy at the same time.

The bigger enterprises that embrace this model will be a follow able example for the smaller enterprises in China. According to Thornton the Chinese have now adopted the western ways and the government is very much aware of the requirement of a proper system for corporate governance and functioning. The formulas of wealth creation are also slowly permeating the economy. Chinese government controls all companies. It is likely to remain that way for quite some time. The communist party is unlikely to create an entirely free enterprise, but within the framework may be willing to implement the policies suggested by Thornton. "And that's not going to change anytime soon,"...
Old Chinese Culture Amy Tan's story, "The Bonesetter's Daughter" is a poignant tale about three generations of daughters. Although Tan writes of females from a female perspective, this novel is more about more than mother-daughter relationships, it is about human relationships. When the past is hidden, it ripples through a family and the next generation like a stone in a stream, and guilt begins to haunts like a ghost. Tan's novel

The majority of the initial population of Chinese immigrants arrived in this county under coolie labor contracts, which were similar to the African slaves of the plantations of the South. The Chinese coolies were treated as disposable labor, and given less than full citizen status until the middle of the 1940's. However, this group did not let the American culture assimilate
This rationale may prove correct to some degree, but only in those areas where the villagers have no means of communication between villages and thus no way of exchanging opinions and finding out about irregularities and breaking of the law.
