| Abstract | This concluding chapter summarizes the main messages of the book to stimulate the development of a new agenda for spirituality and management. One facet of the agenda concentrates on practice: how businesses (and other organizations such as universities, government entities, not-for-profit health organizations and so on) should be transformed into more inclusive, holistic and peaceful activity systems serving nature, society and future generations. The other facet of the agenda concerns research: how to integrate spiritual experiences into the management profession. The basic advise for scholars and practitioners is that one should not manipulate spirituality. Spirituality is too critical; it goes to the heart of the matter, the essence of the human condition, and it is the keystone of a certain vision of reality. Hypocrisy is forbidden in this field. One should not use spirituality to develop his or her corporate reputation. Moreover, companies should not use spirituality as a management tool. It is not the last resort solution for management problems. Nor is spirituality a business opportunity. It is essentially a free, non-utilitarian option. |
