MGMT 5609 - Spirituality and Business

There has been a recent explosion of books, tapes and videos on the topic of spirituality and business. At their roots are the beliefs that: (1) everyone is spiritual for we are composed of mind, body and spirit; (2) everyday business life has gone stale for many people because their spirit is not engaged in what they do; and (3) engaging our spirit at work will improve our relationship to what we do and to each other, and ultimately, will improve the bottom line. The course explores this concept through readings and discussions of spirituality in the context of the individual, work group and organization. It is different than other courses in that we will engage in spiritual, nonsectarian practices and rituals during class sessions. There are no prerequisites for this class other than an open mind. This course is offered as a special topics class and counts as a free elective in the M.B.A. program.
