The Value Orientations of Buddhist and Christian Entrepreneurs

What is it about?

This book includes the comparative analysis of the value orientations and the core operating values of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs. Besides, the book reviews the developments of the concepts of Buddhist economics and the social teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. The analysis 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 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.
