The Value Orientations of Buddhist and Christian Entrepreneurs: A Comparative Perspective on Spirituality and Business Ethics: Studies in Buddhist Economics, Management, and Policy
Autor Gábor Kovácsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2020
This book is a comparative analysis of the value orientations of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs and how these values impact business. The chapters review and analyze the concepts of Buddhist economics and the social teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. The value orientations of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs are described by irreducible core values that correspond to the ontological conception, the procedural dimension, and the “other directedness” of a spiritual value commitment in business.
The book includes the reflections of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs about business spirituality, profit, the temporal perspectives of business, and stakeholder management. The cases testify that a spiritual value orientation can contribute to creating genuine ethical commitment. The findings and the examples can encourage business scholars and practitioners to stop considering ethics as an instrument in the service of profit and serve as inspiration for integrating spirituality into business in a profound way.
This book will be of interest to scholars studying business ethics, workplace spirituality and faith at work.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“A new track of comparative and qualitative research in the field of business spirituality disclosing how Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs are twins with a different value DNA”.
Luk Bouckaert, prof.em. KU Leuven, Belgium and founder of SPES "In an era rife with irresponsible and unethical production and consumption habits, this book brings a refreshing view of spirituality in business, and can provide a new spiritual compass for world’s businesses. In an articulate and systematic manner, Kovács explores the stories of people bringing spiritual values into business from two of the world's greatest spiritual traditions. This book is a significant contribution to the new field of business spirituality.”
