Abstract
本書是「與古為新系列」的第一部,「與古」是汲取前人經驗,「為新」是加以創新。《大學》是中國「四書」之一、儒家學說的入門經典,是古時培養管治人才的教材。《大學》有一套完整而清晰的思想體系,以「大學之道」、「三綱領」(明明德、親民、止於至善)及「八條目」(格物、致知、誠意、正心、修身、齊家、治國、平天下)為中心,倡議修身為本、君子之道及至善,蘊藏不少睿智。 管治(governance)於近年成為熱門課題,值得公共機構、私營機構及非政府組織的主管人員關注。本書扼要介紹管治概念的起源、定義、分類及應用,並專門介紹企業管治(corporate governance)及公共管治(public governance)的定義、理論及重要性。本書希望為現代管治者打開學習儒家思想的大門,或許部分讀者最終成為「儒商」(Confucian entrepreneurs)、「學術型管理者」(scholarly managers)或「學術型管治者」(scholarly governors)。 本書的特色是以現代淺白文字為《大學》全文註釋,以簡單易明的圖表解說其思想體系,結合西方現代管治的論理及概念,最後從《大學》提煉一些適用於現代社會的管治智慧,希望為讀者帶來嶄新的閱讀體驗。
