This distinctive work stands apart from previous books on business and Buddhism by providing in-depth analysis of individual business functions rather than general principles, offering organizations a path to develop management systems based on ethical and moral principles. Each chapter methodically demonstrates how Buddhist practices can enhance business effectiveness, creating mutual benefits for businesses and all stakeholders—including employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, communities, and governments—ultimately promoting organizational systems that contribute positively to humanity while ensuring business survival in today's competitive environment.
