15è Simposi Internacional d'Ètica, a l'IESE

15th International Symposium on Ethics, Business and Society
IESE Business School, Barcelona
May 16-17, 2008

Topic: BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT: TOWARDS MORE HUMAN MODELS AND PRACTICES

Details and updated information: http://www.iese.edu/15symposium


Rationale

A correct understanding of human nature is crucial for both business and management, since they are, above all, about people. However, such consideration is frequently limited to the economic, psychological or sociological aspects of individuals. Consequently, business and management fall short in their vision of the human being.

Philosophical anthropology, ethics, and religious and wisdom traditions, each provide a deeper understanding of people and contribute to develop more human models and practices in business and management.

The aim of this symposium is to promote the achievement of more human-centered models and practices in business and management. Firstly, to explore how human values, and specifically respect for human dignity, rights and personal growth, are viewed in contemporary business and management. Secondly, the aim is to discuss new conceptual developments and reflect on practical ways in which individuals could more easily find human meaning and moral motivation in their work.
