Aim of the course: To provide students with the sociological
foundation to understanding different aspects of society and
culture, particularly Chinese and Japanese societies. By moving
beyond economy and management practices, the course aims to offer a
holistic understanding of Chinese and Japanese societies and
cultures. The issues will be relevant to foreigners conducting
business in China, Japan and other Chinese-dominant Asian countries
because they will learn about the cultural and institutional
foundations behind these societies’ practices and behaviour.
