Hi David and MSR Colleagues,

A great text I have just starting using that has just been published is Dyck, B and Neubert M. 2010 Management: Current Practices and New Directions. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing. It presents in each chapter the mainstream management approach to the topic being covered and juxtaposes it with what the authors refer to as the multistream management approach. It is very well written, contains current and relevant examples/mini-cases, and is supported with solid scholarship. The text also comes with supporting material (slides, etc) as well as additional material for those teaching in a Christian context who may wish to raise additional faith/spirituality integration issues.

Subject: Idea for a transformational/spiritual OB text?

 

Hi MSR Colleagues,

 

For years I have been using Banner, D. K. and Gagné, T. E. (1995). Designing effective organizations: Traditional & transformational views. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications as a textbook that integrates traditional OB concepts (e.g., org. theory, design, power, structure, systems, etc.) with transformational/spiritual ideas. 

 

I was wondering if anyone has used another text that accomplishes a similar integration? While I love the book, the examples within it are becoming dated. Also, I know that many of the pioneering ideas in this book have evolved because of scholarship and practice in spirituality and management.

 

Thanks for any insights you can provide.

 

Best,

 

David

Hi Everyone,

While not a standard textbook, Dorothy Marcic's Managing with the Wisdom of Love, Berrett-Koehler, 1997, is a book that explicitly embraces what all the traditions have to say about management.  Leading Consciously, by Debashis Chatterjee, Butterworth-Heineman, 1998, takes primarily a Hindu perspective but does a wonderful job of including the different traditions.

These books do not meet the requirements that David Steingard is looking for, but they make great supplemental texts.  Both of them are over 10 years old.  I wonder if anyone has newer books to recommend.

I am about to order two books from Douglas Hicks, a theologian at University of Richmond. Doug is Associate Professor of Leadership Studies and Religion
Executive Director, Center for Civic Engagement.  The books I'm ordering are:

Religion and the Workplace (2003),

With God on All Sides: Leadership in a Devout and Diverse America, published by Oxford University Press (February 2009).

"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you perceive him to be, and whatever your aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

With all of it's sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."

           Max Ehrmann

I'd like to ditto Elden.  This is a really, really good, very progressive book. I'd recommend it as well.

Just following up on Kathryn's question and Judy's input, the Dyck and Neubert text is not explicitly oriented toward the Christian unless you want it to be by using the supplemental material on 'Christian issues'. The text essentially outlines ways of managing that are other than the mainstream focus on materialism and individualism. Thus, there is a broad scope here to bring in other specific faith orientations, or even to simply offer a more humanist approach to managing and business. It strikes me as having broad appeal to students of whatever religion/faith/spiritual background, because it offers scholarly supported ways of organizing and managing that allows for one's values to not take a back seat.

Hi one and all,

You might want to look at Fernando, Mario: Spiritual Leadership in the Entrepreneurial Business: A Multifaith Study. Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, Inc. (2007) ISBN 978 84720 350 2

Interesting empirical based studies of spiritual leadership in Asian companies.  Many of the studies reflect Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, and Muslim influences.

Hope this helps.

Kindly,

Richard
