Dear friends,
We are delighted to invite you to a wonderful showcased MSR Symposium on Management and World Peace (session 981) at AOM in Boston, on Monday August 7 at 10:30 AM EST
Abstract and Presenters
In a world increasingly threatened by conflict, the majority of workers cannot be expected to do their jobs let alone flourish. World peace is both a lofty principle and a frontline concern for employees living and working in conditions of war. It is incumbent on management scholars to address such a reality. Can business management be a source of world peace? If yes, how may it help the workers become agents for world peace and flourishing? Businesses can use their corporate social responsibility as well as philanthropic resources, in addition to sustainable business practices, to bring flourishing to the community and the world. Traditionally, the focus of business is on communication, culture, conflict resolution, education, diversity, inclusion, sustainability, work-life-balance, stress management, active listening, etc. However, there is little emphasis on more holistic concepts such as development of consciousness, spirituality, wisdom, inner peace, mental health, well-being, etc. This is the question that this symposium seeks to address. We bring to bear a wide range of wisdom traditions and perspectives to help the workforce become more attuned with their own purpose and experience peace and flourishing. Individual workers can also utilize many spiritual practices to bring their whole selves into a healthy workplace and experience a more fulfilling life. Seven seasoned management researchers who have honed the art of asking big questions and thinking differently. will present their top ideas, whereafter there will be a debate and discussion to bring out at least one or two big takeaway action ideas to get us all started towards a more direct and faster path to peace and prosperity for all the workers of the world.
