Critical View on Decision-Making Mechanism of Western Management Science Systems from the Perspective of Eastern Buddhist Systems Thinking

Eastern Buddhist thoughts were spread from India to China where, after evolution and internalization, they became part of nuclear Chinese concepts. Since it is claimed that Buddhist thoughts are theories to explain world phenomena and human thoughts and behavior, it is worthy to study them. Western management science classifies management activity elements into decision-making activities, mechanism functions, and execution. These three categories are used to interpret all issues of earthly management. Buddhist thoughts began with the idea of “human care” instructed by the founder, Sakyamuni Buddha. The doctrines are based on humanity. Hence, the system thinking of management science and theories of Humanistic Buddhism management can complement each other. This study mainly probed into the decision-making mechanism of the management science system from the perspective of Buddhist thoughts.
