Abstract

The book - which was originally published by Kluwer in 2004 - is a collection of scholarly papers focusing on the role of spirituality and ethics in renewing the contemporary management praxis. The basic argument is that a more inclusive, holistic and peaceful approach to management is needed if business and political leaders are to uplift the environmentally degrading and socially disintegrating world of our age. The book uses diverse value-perspectives (Hindu, Catholic, Buddhist, and Humanist) and a variety of disciplines (philosophy, ethics, management studies, psychology, and organizational sciences) to extend traditional reflections on corporate purpose and focuses on a self-referential organizational-existential search for meaning, identity and success.

Abstract

In his historical satirical novel Candide, Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet) presented a fanciful vision of the Jesuit missions established among the Guaraní in parts of what today are Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Some scholars have characterized the missions as having been a socialist utopia, or an independent republic located on the fringes of Spanish territory in South America. What was the reality? This study presents a detailed analysis of one of the Jesuit missions, Los Santos Mártires del Japón, and the story of the creation of mission communities on a frontier contested by Spain and Portugal during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It documents the historical realities of the Jesuit missions, their patterns of development, and the demographic consequences for the mission populations of military conflict

Abstract

Et si on pouvait soigner l’entreprise (baisse des ventes, baisse de la qualité, conflictualité...) comme un corps humain, par la médecine traditionnelle chinoise (MTC d’entreprise) ? Et si on pouvait motiver les salariés, par l’adhésion à un projet supérieur et fédérateur ? Et si on pouvait manager par l’harmonie, et par un supplément de sens et d’utilité ? Et si on pouvait améliorer la performance globale (innovation, collaboration, ouverture au changement, productivité...) et la pérennité des entreprises, par les enseignements de la sagesse taoïste et de la nature (Taoïsme d’entreprise) ? Et si les nouveaux modèles d’entreprise occidentaux préfiguraient la " Tao-entreprise " de demain ? Et si les entreprises prenaient leur « part du monde » pour œuvrer à la fabrication d’une société meilleure ? Voilà quelques questions auxquelles répond la " Tao-entreprise " à l’aide d’exemples et de cas concrets. Innovante, décapante, elle rebat les cartes de ce que l’on prenait pour des évidences, en abordant de nouveaux concepts de la sociologie des organisations, en apportant aux décideurs et aux managers des outils ou des concepts inédits et opérationnels comme le Business-sens, la Pyramide du Tao-Projet, leSmart-Tao, la Tao-gouvernance, la Taorganisation, le Tao-management, le modèle POOC, la synergétique, l « harmonance », l « écolistique », le Tao-business grid, etc. À bout de souffle et sans boussole, nos économies concurrentielles et mondialisées ont besoin de nouveaux repères, nos entreprises de nouveaux leviers de performance, nos salariés de nouvelles raisons de se motiver. La " Tao entreprise " se propose de les aider à trouver ces nouvelles clés, à ouvrir de nouvelles voies à partir de la nature bienveillante et performante qui sommeille en chaque homme et en chaque décideur.

Abstract

Religion, Theology and the Human Sciences explores the religious consequences of the so-called 'end of history' and 'triumph of capitalism' as they have impinged upon key institutions of social reproduction in recent times. The book explores the imposition of managerial modernity upon successive sectors of society and shows why many people today feel themselves to be oppressed by systems of management that seem to leave them no option but to conform. This culture has spread through education, health and social services and has been welcomed by the churches. Richard Roberts seeks to challenge and outflank such seamless, oppressive modernity, through reconfiguration of the religious and spiritual field. This volume will be of use to a range of students in humanities and social sciences (particularly theology and the sociology of religion) and should become standard reading for those concerned with the practical application of contemporary theology in a postmodern world.
