In the era of Globalization and the “Rise of Asia” it is vital to understand more about the differences but also commonalities between the ‘Western’ and ‘Eastern’ world. This seminar therefore investigates the differences between Europe and Asia with a specific focus on China and Japan. These two countries are important points of reference when it comes to Asian culture, as they to some extent share the same cultural basis. Yet, the influence of Confucianism and other Asian philosophies played out differently in each country with regard to politics, society and the economy. To better understand China and Japan in relation to Europe, four relevant areas will be investigated and discussed in this seminar. The starting point is each country’s history, which will then be related to the prevailing worldview, philosophy and ethics, as well as the respective economic and management system.  

This course requires regular and active participation. Frequent presentations and group discussions are aimed at deepening, expanding and reflecting the course material and provided texts. – This seminar can be credited for the core areas of modules 1 and 2 of the certificate „Weltethos in Unternehmen und Organisationen”.
