Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a brief explanation on the motivation of this book and an overview of its structure. China is the second biggest economy in the world and has significant needs to transform its mechanisms of economic growth and social development. It is a crucial mission for China to achieve sustainable innovation and fair development, which can impact China at the individual, firm, and society levels, as well as other countries. This book consists of 15 peer-reviewed chapters divided into six different parts (including overview, individual and social perspective, organizational perspective, government perspective, international perspective, and conclusion). This book is edited to collectively present a wide range of views and opinions from active researchers in different disciplines on current challenges and proposed solutions to promote fair development in China.
