Yunfeng Hu, Supachai Sinyabuth

Abstract


This study examines the evolution of business literacy in China and its impact on modern global business education. Shen Wansan, the most well-known business of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, is the subject of the analysis. Additionally, the investigation looked at how these business methods relate to the current Belt and Road initiative in China. This article focuses on the impact of changing business literacy on the present state of the economy and cultural needs. This research adopts qualitative methods, particularly literature analysis and historical study. It lists strategy, cross-cultural understanding, and innovation as the three pillars of business literacy. The research results indicate that traditional classes can increase current business education. Additionally, this relationship can foster international business skills and foster international cooperation. This research emphasizes incorporating self-assurance and cultural awareness into business training. These factors are essential for promoting sustainable growth and increasing international business literacy.
