Spirituality in Business

Description

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, which dates back to the publication of Adam Smith’s book “The Wealth of Nations” in 1776, and for two and a half centuries, business in its calculations based on profit and loss in everything have been subject to great criticism from stakeholders inside the company (employees) and outside it (suppliers, customers and society). During this long period, four important and profound concepts have been put forward in order to develop the social, ethical and human dimension of business. These concepts were represented in: social responsibility, business ethics, corporate citizenship, and philanthropy. We are still looking forward to new developments and attempts to limit the priorities of business. In this context, the subject of this book on spirituality in business comes as a development required in the business sector in order to achieve a balance between maximum profit in business and the highest purpose in spirituality.
