Yijing (The Book of Change, written in about 1050BC) is the origin of Chinese culture. It established a comprehensive framework for explaining, analysing and forecasting human and natural phenomena based on observation of the universe. It also formulated an elaborate system on how to manage people, organizations and getting things done in complex settings with constant change. It contributed significantly to the evolution of Confucius, Daoism and modern Buddhism, etc. This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts of Yijing, Taichi System and related Chinese management wisdom, emphasising on practical application to contemporary business management in meeting the challenges of the 21st century, particularly in forecasting techniques and people management.
