Kyosei是日本的一个传统概念，已被应用于从生物到商业的各种学科。最近，它已成为企业责任、道德决策、利益相关者最大化和负责任互惠概念的同义词。本文的研究目的是将节制在现代商业中的应用追溯到古代儒家思想。与儒学相关的理想在17世纪初日本商业道德准则的创建中起到了重要作用。本文简要介绍了这一时期的历史，为理解这些规范提供了一个背景框架。一种特殊的道德规范，被称为舒楚基雅库，首次以英语呈现，并被证明直接植根于儒家著作。本文介绍了现代公司法以及现代日本和美国商人的声明，以反映古代道德准则中体现的商业哲学。
Kyosei, a traditional Japanese concept, has been applied to a variety subjects, from biology to business. It has more recently become synonymous with the concepts of corporate responsibility, ethical decision making, stakeholder maximization, and responsible reciprocity. The purpose of this paper is to trace kyosei's modern business application back to ancient Confucian thought. The ideals associated with Confucianism were instrumental in the creation of Japanese business codes of ethics during the early part of the seventeenth century. A short history of this period is presented to provide a contextual framework for understanding these codes. A specific code of ethics, called the shuchu kiyaku, is presented for the first time in English and shown to have direct roots in Confucian writings. Statements from modern company codes and from modern Japanese and American businessmen are presented to reflect the philosophy of business embodied in that ancient code of ethics.
