In 2013, the first Chinese Edition of the MIT Sloan Management Review was Published [3] By importing outstanding ideas and researches carried out by the editors worldwide. MIT Sloan Management Review expects to bring in the latest, enlightening ideas on management, research and execution to China. Meanwhile, based on the differences on management style in China and the western countries, the review serves to narrow down the gap between global management ideologies and the daily practice in Chinese businesses. By making the review more accessible for China, it enhances the flow of knowledge and ideas between Asian and Western countries.[4]
