  1. An Empirical Argument for Mencius’ Theory of Human Nature.Ilari Mäkelä - 2022 - Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy 21 (2):235-259.

    The nature of the sales manager/salesperson relationship is examined.

Findings suggest that the level of agreement between sales managers and salespeople in (...)
