Abstract
Superior leadership, ethical decision-making, and integrity are essential qualities for business managers at all levels of an organization, especially in today’s quickly-changing global society. This is particularly true in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) where relationships and their integrity play a prominent role in all interactions, commercial and otherwise. Multinational corporations devote numerous resources to developing leadership competencies and decision-making skills, which include the ability to navigate the business successfully during influential economic, organizational, and societal changes, like the recent economic crisis, the various business scandals, and the numerous political conflicts. This expectation is even more pronounced upon Chinese companies because their actions impact significantly the global economy. In an effort to learn more about the necessary attributes and skills needed to manage well during this liminal period in the global economy, this paper looks at how generational differences in China shape the leadership styles and decision-making frameworks of successful business leaders. The formative experiences of successful executives, communicated through personal interviews and surveys, lay the groundwork for this paper’s eventual recommendations on how to cultivate integrity, social responsibility, and ethical awareness among this new generation of multinational companies, especially across the generational lines of its leadership in the People’s Republic of China.
