Description

In recent times, there is growing concern for the social, environmental, and humanitarian impact of corporations. The expansion of markets, liberalization of trade, globalization, and advancement of technology have greatly expanded the reach and impact of businesses, making the concerns even more urgent because of their sheer scale. Alongside, there have always been groups and corporations working to address these challenges, mostly on the margins. The authors take in this book the position that the best solutions to address many of the urgent problems of the world are likely to be seeded by these ideas and practices. Hence, incorporating these ideas and practices in this book intends to give a contribution to the promotion of Humanistic Management which includes key points as human dignity and societal well-being as the core concerns of management, and advocates the line of thought that people matter more than profits. The aim of the book is to collate global examples and bring them from obscurity to prominence to provide a comprehensive teaching resource for those who want to be a part of solving these problems. This book encompasses contributions of academics, consultants, practitioners, policymakers, business leaders, journalists, and entrepreneurs, which promote human dignity and societal well-being as the core concerns of management. More specifically, this book will meet the demand for pedagogical material to bring Humanistic Management values to management classrooms around the globe. The volume comprises case studies, experiential and role-play exercises and examples from the real world to educate students about management practices and organizations that impact human dignity and societal well being. Furthermore, examples of good and bad management situations across business, government, non-government organizations are provided. Also, change management processes and transformation tools that support the transition towards a humanistic leadership and management style are presented in this book. This book is for a broad audience including students and professors in graduate business schools, and practicing business executives. The goal is to inform management practice and help current and future business leaders navigate through the competitive storms unleashed by technological change.
