What is it about?
Caring appears in five intertwined fields of business, and is realized in the analogous business practices of spiritually oriented entrepreneurs, regardless of whether they are committed to Christian or Buddhist values, if: (i) they consider the interests of their employees to a great extent; (ii) they treat their stakeholders equally by awarding the same importance to their suppliers and all other partners in business as they award their customers; (iii) they pay attention to preserving culture and the natural environment; (iv) they have a long-term orientation, and aim to achieve long-term sustainability; and, (v) they define the goals of business more broadly than simple profit-maximization.

Why is it important?
The paper is important as it shows the business practices of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs by which they not just focus on cultivating profit, rather focus on effectuating caring in business.
Perspectives
Caring is very important nowadays and it can be realized also in business. The examples of Buddhist and Christian entrepreneurs testify this.
