Practical Wisdom in Management

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.
