The outcome of the Practical Wisdom Initiative, between The Academy of Business in Society (ABIS) and Yale University Center for Faith and Culture, it seeks to construct a bridge between the worlds of management and the spiritual and philosophical traditions.

Ascension Health; Michelin; DANONE Group, Walmart; TOMS; Marriott; HSBC; Four Seasons; Guangzhou Eversunny Trading and Toyota.

Reviews / Votes
Practical Wisdom in Management is a valuable resource, and one of the few, that provides a reasoned and credible perspective on the contribution of spiritual traditions to present management thinking and actions, and hopefully leads to a reconsideration of how to approach ethical decision-making in a corporate context. -- Richard J. Goossen, The Entrepreneurial Leaders OrganizationMore details
