Why is it important?
The study compares the core values of Buddhist and Catholic entrepreneurs with each other. It identifies three major value-dimensions that are similar in both traditions: (i) an ontological conception of the value-orientation; (ii) a procedural dimension of leadership, and (iii) the other-directedness of business activities. These value-dimensions contribute to the realization of spiritual value-orientation in business.
Perspectives
Although Buddhism and Christianity (Catholicism) are very different spiritual traditions with radically different world-views and core values, there is an opportunity to establish certain value-dimensions by which the core values of the two tradition in business are comparable.
