| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I completed semi-structured in-depth interviews with business leaders of Asia (Japan - Fujifilm, YKK, Unicharm, Saraya; Korea - CJ Group, LG Electronics, DAC, Sungsimdang, Cosmaxx; India - Infosys, Greenko, Varun Group, AyurVAID, Loadstar). They preciously shared their management philosophy and views on inclusive leadership, which could be the backbone of their sustainable management. In terms of the research findings on the link of capitalism and CSR, I've published it in Business Ethics, the Environment & Responsibility. To reiterate, the project sought to find the value-oriented inclusive leadership of Asia by harnessing the link between theories of the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) and CSR. More substantively, the study investigated how Asian leaders gain competitive advantage through coping with society’s pressure and how they could become smart, socially conscious, for-profit business by performing inclusive leadership.
