Morality, Rationality, and Legality of Modern Corporation: Tōkyō Kinkōdō and Shanghai Commercial Press (1875–1930)
In the late 19th century, East Asian countries successively introduced modern business models, as well as the corresponding capitalist business ethics, business strategies and business laws, opening up an unprecedented modern market economic pattern. At the same time, both China and Japan have created new textbook markets due to the introduction of Western-style school systems. At a time of intense collision of the East and the West and unlimited business opportunities, the two major textbook publishers of the Meiji period in Japan and the early 20th century in China, Kinkōdō in Tokyo and Commercial Press in Shanghai, stood out as the leaders of the book industry in both countries.
From the perspective of comparative corporate culture history, this book focuses on some important development characteristics of Kinkōdō and Commercial Press before 1930 from the perspective of Tao and art, fiction and reality, and man and law.
