Sommario/riassunto

Multinational enterprises have become a main engine of the global economy, technical advancement, and product innovation, playing a pivotal role in the world economy and the global technological revolution. However, MNEs are also often embroiled in financial fraud



and corporate scandal which show that MNEs should improve their corporate governance. Meanwhile, as COVID- 19 runs rampant across the world, populism and deglobalisation have resurged, and protectionism and unilateralism are exerting negative impacts on the world economy. Achieving sustainable development in this context is a test of a company's management and governance abilities. How should they be governed? This book will be a useful tool for university research-led teaching and fundamental research in corporate governance theories of MNEs in general, as well as using Chinese case studies as evidence to support our theoretical arguments. Jean Jinghan Chen is a Chair Professor in Accounting and Finance and the Dean of Faculty of Business Administration. Prior to joining the University of Macau, Professor Jean Chen worked in the UK higher education sector for almost 30 years and was the Founding Head of Southampton Business School and Chair Professor in Accounting and Finance at the University of Southampton in the UK. Runhui Lin is a Professor in organization and management of the Business School at Nankai University, as well as the director of the Network Governance Center of the China Academy of Corporate Governance (CACG).

Sommario/riassunto

The Treaty of Ibn Ḫalṣūn (XIII th century, writer and doctor from Andalusia) is a witness to a very present concern among Arab doctors: enable people to access the harmonious development of his physical and mental .The author's project is vast: it is first of all to study the human being himself in his organization and his vital functions, then to watch him live in his natural environment, that is to say say the company, to finally formulate, in a concrete, precise and practical way, the applicable prescriptions in everyday life.These relate to the hygiene of all parts of the body, from the hair system to the skin, including the intestines and testicles. There are also precepts concerning our daily activities (sleep, bath, coitus).But, on closer inspection, it is indeed food that plays a fundamental role in the theory of Ibn Ḫalṣūn, who endorses the precept of Hippocrates: "May your food be medicine for you ...". It establishes as a principle that the men must nourish themselves taking into account their temperament, the climate, the seasons and the accidents which can affect their health.The fifth part of the treatise, in which all the foods of the time in Muslim Spain are reviewed, also gives us valuable historical information. Vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments and spices: all of these help to enrich our representation of Western Islamic culture.
