This practical guide draws on the experiences of successful enterprises in Hong Kong, serving as a valuable resource for administrative staff and a source of inspiration for management courses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in Hong Kong's economic growth, accounting for 95% of all companies and employing a significant portion of the workforce. The managers and entrepreneurs driving these SMEs have made substantial contributions to Hong Kong's development. It's important to recognize that managing small enterprises differs significantly from managing multinational corporations, given the distinct skills, resources, and environmental pressures involved. Therefore, further in-depth study of SME management across various aspects is undoubtedly warranted.

Litigation, though seemingly ordinary, can be a brutal and peculiar beast. While it promises justice and retribution, once invoked, it becomes difficult for disputing parties to withdraw unscathed. Relationships are marred, animosity deepens, and disputes remain unresolved, resulting in losses and potential financial ruin. To escape the pitfalls of litigation, parties can turn to mediation as an alternative. Mediation acts as a white knight, fostering win-win or even multi-win resolutions. This book introduces the essential legal knowledge and skills needed for mediation, encouraging wider participation in professional mediation. By reducing the burden of litigation and its negative consequences, a harmonious society can be fostered, embodying the ideal of "valuing harmony." The second edition includes additional chapters addressing the arrangement of mediation meetings, exploring mediation ethics, supplementing legal knowledge on drafting settlement agreements, and introducing the "Apology Ordinance" and the concept of "confidentiality" in mediation for readers' reference.

The concept of "Junzi" in Confucianism represents the ideal standard of behaviour and is comprised of the "Five Virtues": benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. From a modern management perspective, these virtues not only guide ethical conduct but also inform effective management and operations. The former Hang Seng Management College embraced this concept and integrated it with Western business ethics to establish a comprehensive business ethics standard applicable to companies in Hong Kong. The annual "Junzi Corporation Survey" project aims to identify businesses that align with these ethical standards and publishes the "HSMC Hong Kong Business Ethics Index" annually.
