Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to let you know about this book from Management, Spirituality & Religion scholar Ted Malloch, Oxford University, which I hope will be of interest.

Greenleaf Publishing
www.greenleaf-publishing.com/practicalwis
Practical Wisdom in Management is the first in-depth case study book to explore how practical wisdom from spiritual and philosophical traditions inspires corporate culture and leadership. The outcome of the Practical Wisdom Initiative, between The Academy of Business in Society (ABIS) and Yale University Center for Faith and Culture, it seeks to construct a bridge between the worlds of management and the spiritual and philosophical traditions.
Covering 10 major worldwide religions, Theodore Malloch provides an overview of the practical wisdom of the major faith traditions for management. It includes case studies of over 20 multinational corporations focusing on their values, spiritual inspiration and business strategy. It features case studies on corporations including: Ascension Health; Michelin; DANONE Group, WalMart; TOMS; Marriott; HSBC; Four Seasons; Guangzhou Eversunny Trading and Toyota.
It is essential reading for business leaders, researchers and students of business ethics and spirituality courses and includes full teaching guidance.
'Not since Adam Smith himself have we witnessed so forceful a treatment on the linkage between the economy and moral reasoning as we find in Malloch's Practical Wisdom case studies.' - Nicholas Capaldi, Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics, Loyola University, New Orleans.
