Description
This book is a collection of twenty-five new case studies exploring spiritual and philosophical traditions in management. Seven spiritual traditions are explored within the book, including humanistic, Christian, Buddhism etc. Companies featured in the cases include Tata, Michelin, Timberland, HSBC and Kraft, among others. This book looks at the practical virtues inherent in managerial decision-making, which leads to wise decisions in strategic management, leadership, finance, and human resource management. This approach takes into account the consequences of globalization and the belief that a global market economy needs an ethical framing and a moral compass to be viable, sustainable and equitable.
Reviews / Votes
This is an excellent set of cases. The companies have been thoroughly researched, and the cases were clearly organized to reflect the different kinds of information and issues raised by each one. Of special value in each case are the discussion questions supplied by the authors. Not only do the questions raise the kind issues relevant to the spiritual dimension of these organizations, but to the problems engendered as well.
