Moving beyond profit maximization, the book demonstrates how altruism can function as a robust ethical standard for modern corporations, offering both logical coherence and practical strategies for sustainable growth. It integrates Eastern traditions of altruism with rigorous logical reasoning, contrasting them against Western frameworks like egoism, deontology, and utilitarianism.Readers will benefit from the books systematic analysis of altruism as both a moral and strategic principle. It clarifies how "e;strategic altruism"e; aligns self-interest with social responsibility, creating integrated value across organizations and societies. By combining theoretical depth with practical application, the book equips readers with tools to navigate global ethical challenges, enhance corporate trust, and reimagine strategy through the lens of sustainable, human-centered management.This volume is written for business scholars, ethicists, corporate leaders, policymakers, and graduate students seeking alternatives to conventional management paradigms. It will be especially relevant to those interested in corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social, and governance (ESG), and the intersection of business ethics with long-term value creation.

This study seeks to evaluate the impact of organizational ethical climate on the organizational commitment and job performance of Japanese-funded manufacturing enterprises (JFMEs) in China using empirical analysis and discussion, and includes a review of related research into economic ethics as well as a quantitative analysis of the various types of organizational ethical climates typically found in JFMEs operating in China. While prior studies have approached the topic from an ethical, psychological, philosophical and/or sociological perspective, none have specifically analyzed organizational ethical climate and its effect on organizational commitment and job performance under these conditions. Nor has an analysis of the relationship between organizational ethical climate, organizational commitment, and job performance ever been approached from the perspective of economic ethics. This study illustrates the feasibility of researching organizational ethics from an economic perspective,while laying out a theoretical basis for exploring the philosophy of economics from the perspective of economic ethics.

This book analyzes the growing importance of information disclosure in Japanese universities in the context of the country’s changing circumstances from both a macroscopic and microscopic perspective, with a focus on the concept of universities as organizations. This macroscopic analysis is based on available data concerning the various information disclosure practices of Japanese universities and includes a discussion of their strengths and weaknesses. As for the microscopic analysis, questionnaires and various other quantitative methods have been used to study overall satisfaction with the level of disclosure among students and teachers in public and private universities, including differences between Japanese and Chinese students. The results of these surveys have then been analyzed to identify the main factors informing students’ views on the subject. Finally, additional insight into the practice of information disclosure in Japanese universities has been provided in a series of representative case studies, which should help promote further study concerning the practical applications of such disclosure. Based on the above analysis, this book proposes a social responsibility-based approach to university information disclosure, which incorporates stakeholder theory-based identification of public information content, an underlying focus on disclosure as a means to realize universities’ social responsibilities, identification of the types of information that universities should seek to disclose, recommendations for developing a framework for the systematic disclosure of such information, and recent disclosure trends. As part of this approach, recommendations concerning the arrangement of different sources of information, thoughts on building a publicly accessible platform for sharing university information, and key points underlying the systematic disclosure of information within universities are also proposed.Finally, this book is helpful in identifying further areas of research, including but not necessarily limited to the ideas and legal principles underlying the construction of a university information disclosure system, the development of information disclosure systems based on social responsibility, and the development of various standards for the disclosure of information. The ideal approach would ensure that all stakeholders are provided with meaningful access to relevant information, and that transparency takes precedence over any competing considerations as part of an overriding effort to improve university administration and oversight.
