Practical Wisdom in Management is the first in-depth case study book to explore how practical wisdom from spiritual and philosophical traditions inspires corporate leadership and permeates many corporate cultures. It is the result of the Practical Wisdom Initiative, between the Academy of Business in Society (EABIS) and Yale University Center for Faith and Culture, which sought to construct a bridge between the worlds of management and the spiritual and philosophical traditions.
Covering 10 major worldwide religions, this book provides an overview of the practical wisdom of the major faith traditions for management. Practical Wisdom is designed for the classroom and includes case studies of over 20 multinational corporations, analyzed with an emphasis on their values and spiritual inspiration, alongside business and strategic issues. It features case studies on corporations including: Ascension Health; Michelin; DANONE Group, Wal-Mart; Toms; Marriott; HSBC; Four Seasons; Toyota; Guangzhou Eversunny Trading; and Infosys. It includes full teaching guidance and will be essential reading for MBA
students and students of business ethics and spirituality in business courses, as well as business leaders looking to integrate religious values into their organization.
