Leszek Karczewski, Wprowadzenie do badań nad kulturą Chin i jej wpływem na gospodarkę, [Introduction to the studies on Chinese culture and its influence on the economy] edited by W. Banach, M.A. Michalski, J. Sójka, „Człowiek i Społeczeństwo” vol. XLVI: Między Chinami a Zachodem. Pytanie o źródła chińskiego sukcesu gospodarczego [Between China and the West. An inquiry into the sources of the Chinese economic miracle], Poznań 2018, pp. 85–102, Adam Mickiewicz University. Faculty of Social Sciences Press. ISSN 0239-3271 The study of Chinese culture and its influence on economy is not an easy task due to the size of this country, its multiculturalism, economic differences between regions, differences in the types of business ownership and cultural differences of generations of the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. Research by G. Hofstede, R. Gesteland or the concepts of F. Fukuyama and other researchers can be a good and reliable starting point for in-depth further research. Relying on them only, however, can lead to a certain schematic in the perception of this country. The rebirth of traditional religions of this country and their specific syncretism may have a significant impact on the business conducted in China.
