Abstract.
Professor Zeng Shiqiang is thought of as the best-known and the most admired expert in 
management studies and practice in China. This paper is to analyze and discuss the three 
characteristics of the Chinese style management held by Professor Zeng Shiqiang. Among other 
management principles, Prof. Zeng argues that the Chinese style management has three major 
characteristics: people oriented, like-minded people working together, making reasoning adjustments 
in order to adapt to constantly changing circumstances, with people as the key to the success of the 
administration. These three characteristics make great contribution for the success of the Chinese 
style management, and are also reflected the philosophy of inter-subjectivity, which can also be used 
in other fields such as the educational activity, and help us have a better understanding of modern 
inter-subjectivity education. 
Introduction 
Professor Zeng Sjiqiang argues that the Chinese style management has three major characteristics: 
people oriented, like-minded people working together, making reasoning adjustments in order to 
adapt to constantly changing circumstances, which make great contribution for the success of the 
Chinese style management.

The top principle of Chinese style management is people-oriented, with the aid of the combination 
of two other rules, one is that of having like-minded people working together and the other the 
emphasis of the reasonable adjustments based upon the constantly changing circumstances. Besides, 
Chinese style management is closely related with Chinese ethics, which regards the staff’s integrity 
as the essential element in bringing about the effective management. 
People-oriented management style should be regarded as the foregrounding feature of the Chinese 
administration. Chinese administration advocates the concept that people are the key to the success of 
the administration, and only by taking people-oriented principle can people have the things done well. 
Chinese style management, in short, is the human-based management. 
Besides, Chinese administration insists on the principle of like-minded people working together. In 
this way, people can have a good co-operation with each other under the guidance of the consensus, 
thus making greater contributions to the enterprise. 
Another foregrounding characteristic of Chinese management is its “mobility”, which is reflected 
in making adjustments and modification in a more reasonable fashion according to constantly 
changing practical circumstances. 
Professor Zeng Shiqiang is thought of as the best-known and the most admired expert in 
management studies and practice in China. This paper is to analyze and discuss the three 
characteristics of the Chinese style management held by Prof. Zeng in order to make the people not 
only in China but in the world have a better understanding of Prof. Zeng’s idea about how to succeed 
in the Chinese management.
