  • 1.  CfC: Prudence and Business Management, Humanistic Management Conference, Oct. 7-9, 2015

    Posted 07-08-2015 16:04

    CALL FOR PAPERS

     

    We are cordially inviting you to submit papers to and attend the paper development workshop on

     

    Prudent Business: Practical Wisdom for Managers

     

    The workshop is organized by the Humanistic Management Network in Tübingen/ Germany at the Global Ethic Institute (Weltethos-Institut) WEIT, on October 7, 2015, in conjunction with the subsequent Humanistic Management conference (Oct. 8th & 9th).


    see more on conference: https://www.amiando.com/FLTSGIX.html

     

    The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from academia and management practice to exchange ideas and discuss developments about the notion of Practical Wisdom for Humanistic Management Practice, present their papers as well as receive peer-to-peer feedback und publishing guidelines (Selected submissions will be invited for edited volume at Palgrave and possibly special issue of the Journal of Humanistic Management).

     

    1. Conceptual thoughts

    Practical Wisdom from philosophical, religious, spiritual, cultural and ethnic traditions plays an important role in the context of contemporary business practice (Bachmann, Loza-Adaui, & Habisch 2014, Bachmann, Habisch & Dierksmeier 2015, Malloch & Dierksmeier 2016). Prudence as a virtue does not only inform the actions of persons (individual level). It also operates in and through economic structures and sustains the humanistic management practice of entrepreneurs and managers (operational level), but also directly or indirectly impacts the crafting of rules in organizations and constitutions (institutional level). Prudence thereby represents an important 'cultural capital' of organizations or business associations for addressing pressing challenges of a globalized economy like environmental and social degradation, poverty and social disintegration, violent protests, etc. Yet, as Schwartz & Sharpe (2011) have shown, practical wisdom is constantly crowded out by contemporary tendencies of political centralization, legal formalization, and economization. For example, sophisticated legal compliance programs may limit and ultimately even undermine the ability to follow humanistic principles of sound judgement and situation-adequate reasoning. To further our knowledge on the role of prudence in the context of humanistic management which holds that management ought to protect dignity and promote well-being within the planetary boundaries(Pirson, 2015; Pirson and Lawrence, 2010), we are inviting submissions to be compiled in an edited volume for the Humanism in Business book series at Palgrave McMillan.

     

     

    2. Relevant Topics

    Contributions may focus on one of the following areas:

     

    Cultural and Spiritual Sources of Wisdom

    Practical wisdom for prudent management comes in many forms and from different traditions – religious and spiritual, ethnic and cultural etc. Contributions may focus on a specific regional or cultural tradition of wisdom and describe its influences on individual conduct as well as on institutional structures and frameworks for business.

     

    Practical Wisdom for Sustainable Innovation

    In many ways, prudence is tantamount to heuristic knowledge inspiring innovation towards sustainable lifestyles or business practices. Wise practitioners serve as change agents, transforming inherited principles of practical wisdom into business strategies. Contributions may include historical or contemporary studies on the contributions of specific traditions to humanistic management practices.

     

    Practical Wisdom and Organizational Culture

    Wisdom traditions can influence the integration of staff in decision making, customer relationship management, corporate complaint management, the creation and nurturing of internal networks of solidarity inside of a company, corporate volunteering in society, cross-sector partnership with educational organizations etc.  Contributions may want to focus on how prudent organizational cultures contribute to to the value creation process in firms.

     

    Prudence as enable of humanistic management

    To manage with humanity in mind by protecting human dignity and promoting human well-being within the planetary boundaries (humanistic management)

     

    Case studies of Wise Leadership practice.

    Prudent decision-making of entrepreneurs or and the role-models of wise organiza­tional leaders help companies overcome many of the current challenges of intercultural stakeholder management in the era of globality.  Contributions may want to focus on cross-cultural management and social integration, organizational justice, business in society and cross-sector-partnerships, organizational culture etc.

    1. Conceptual thoughts

    Practical Wisdom from philosophical, religious, spiritual, cultural and ethnic traditions plays an important role in the context of contemporary business practice (Bachmann, Loza-Adaui, & Habisch 2014, Bachmann, Habisch & Dierksmeier 2015, Malloch & Dierksmeier 2016). Prudence as a virtue does not only inform the actions of persons (individual level). It also operates in and through economic structures and sustains the humanistic management practice of entrepreneurs and managers (operational level), but also directly or indirectly impacts the crafting of rules in organizations and constitutions (institutional level). Prudence thereby represents an important 'cultural capital' of organizations or business associations for addressing pressing challenges of a globalized economy like environmental and social degradation, poverty and social disintegration, violent protests, etc. Yet, as Schwartz & Sharpe (2011) have shown, practical wisdom is constantly crowded out by contemporary tendencies of political centralization, legal formalization, and economization.
