The book “The Spiritual Dimension of Business Ethics and Sustainability Management” edited by Laszlo Zsolnai was published in 2015 by Springer.
The book discloses the spiritual dimension in business ethics and sustainability management. Spirituality is understood as a multiform search for meaning which connects people with all living beings and God or Ultimate Reality. In this sense, spirituality is a vital source in social and economic life. The volume examines the spiritual orientations to nature and business in different faith traditions: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sufism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It studies how spirituality and ecology can contribute to transforming contemporary management theory and praxis. It discusses new leadership roles and business models that emerge for sustainability in business, and shows how entrepreneurship can be inspired by nature and spirituality in a meaningful way.
