Bruce Humes notes that the Chinese novel Wolf Totem, has spawned a wave of management books extolling the virtues of wolf-think.

[...] the idea that Chinese people ought to “discard their submissive character and assume a more aggressive, or wolf-like, outlook on life and the world at large” (Poon’s words) has caught on like wild-fire in certain circles in China: Featured at business forums, a popular new year’s present for military types — and an inspiration to China’s business publishers.

It is always fascinating what bit of culture can inspire the latest bit of management nonsense.
