They clearly do write as directly and transparently as they can, vis a vis the challenging task of communicating the rather difficult subject-matter involved, without at all sacrificing complexity and depth. The use of Chinese philosophic references is throughout most impressive and the work presents a rich array of informative figures, bibliographic citations and learned notes.'

Once written off as amoral, relativist and opposed to the ideals of Truth, Reason and Progress, it is now regaining influence in public policy, international relations and business strategy. But what can pragmatism teach us about strategy? How can pragmatic strategies help businesses to succeed? This innovative book presents a pragmatic framework for shaping and solving strategic problems in a practical, creative, ethical and finely balanced manner. To achieve this, the authors draw from Confucian teaching, American pragmatism and Aristotelian practical wisdom, as well as business cases across industries and nations, particularly from emerging economies. With significant theoretical depth, direct practical implication and profound cultural sensitivity, the book is useful for executive managers, public administrators, strategy researchers and advanced students in the search for pragmatic strategies in an interconnected, fast-moving world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003e List of tables\u003cbr\u003e List of cited classics\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
