Chinese businesses have adapted the teachings of ancient philosophers and use their wisdom to transform themselves into excellent companies. Several Chinese companies are Fortune 500 companies - and these companies have gotten to their positions because of adapting these philosophies. Overseas Chinese are early adopters of the ancient Chinese philosophers have benefited and controlled the economies in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, etc. One of the greatest transformational leaders in China was Admiral Zheng He. His experiences and lessons learnt have echoed down throughout history. His approach to peace, in a time of war, is actually utilized quite regularly in boardrooms albeit not as well known as Sun Zi.
