He advocates for corporate social responsibility and ethical business practices, reflected in his influential publications. Notably, he has authored several impactful books in collaboration with us, exploring topics ranging from teaching international business ethics to responsible entrepreneurship. [Corporate Philanthropy in China and Beyond]( The book is a handbook on corporate philanthropy in China, with comparisons to the best practices in Europe, especially Switzerland. It reviews the recent history of corporate philanthropy in China to provide context for representatives of foreign businesses and NGOs who wish to be involved in philanthropic activities in China. It compares the current situation in China with best practices in Europe and Switzerland. The handbook is also meant to assist students of philanthropy and other interested parties in understanding the development of corporate philanthropy in China, and how its development converges with, and diverges from similar trends in other countries. [Doing Good Business in China]( "This innovative and inspiring work book on a wide range of controversial business cases from mainland China makes a strong point for ethics in business. By its persuasive three-step method of Seeing–Judging–Acting, it encourages business students to adopt the moral point of view and to bring the values from their own cultural tradition in perspective with global moral standards. It is highly recommended." Gerhold K Becker Founding Director of the Centre for Applied Ethics of Hong Kong Baptist University [Dialogue with China]( This book is the first volume of a projected series of six handbooks on various aspects involved in contemporary encounters with China and her people. The book argues for a hands-on approach of dialogue with China, which seems to be crucial for business success in China. Bearing in mind the various present clashes with China and an increasing negative image of China internationally, the book is conceived as a handbook reflecting the experiences of observers who provide helpful hints to better understand and appreciate Chinese culture without being blindfolded by multiple traps and pitfalls.
