Good business needs a peaceful and just world in which to operate
and prosper. Likewise, peace thrives in a healthy economic
environment. However, many companies - either directly or
indirectly - are involved in the arms race and in a battle to
exploit and control scarce resources. As a result of the ambiguous
power of business, a timely reflection on its impact on war and
peace is needed as well as a conscious pro-peace commitment.
Business, Ethics and Peace gathers a selection of papers presented
at the International SPES Conference Business for Peace, Strategies
for Hope at Ypres, April 10 - 12, 2014. Among the many initiatives
commemorating the centennial of World War I, this project focuses
on the ethical need to prevent the next conflict. It interprets and
presents peace as a holistic and evolving concept, defining the
need for an ethical charter of human rights and responsibilities.
The papers illustrate the impact of religion in peace management
and present solutions and practices for corporate peace-building.
This book brings together a number of important essays on the
intersection of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship,
examining them through a shared focus on 'the will to serve'. This
combination bears out the insight that inspiring social and
economic leaders are able to transform a conflictual human
settlement into a collaborative and caring human community. The
book seeks to answer the question of whether we can induce from
their 'way of doing things' a model of civic entrepreneurship and
leadership that can inspire people in profit, non-profit and public
organizations. It also examines the extent to which the will to
serve is compatible with the will to maximize profit or the will to
gain economic, political or religious power. Furthermore, it asks
how far different spiritual traditions create different models and
examples of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship. This
book will be of interest to researchers working in the fields of
business ethics, business spirituality and corporate social
responsibility.

This volume celebrates the work of Laszlo Zsolnai, a leading
researcher and scholar in the field of the ethical and spiritual
aspects of economic life, who has made significant contributions to
the connection between ethics, spirituality, aesthetics and
economic theory. The book offers a selection of essays concerned
with the ethical, spiritual and aesthetic context within which
economics as a social studies discipline should be situated in
order to avoid the sort of dehumanising consequences that theories
based on utility maximisation and rational choice necessarily
entail. It presents the economic activities of human beings not as
some sort of preordained obedience to universal laws that operate
independently of other human concerns, but, rather, as a part of
the human desire for the Aristotelian good life. It looks at the
various considerations -moral, spiritual and aesthetic - that take
part in the formation of economic decisions in sharp contrast with
theories that purport to explain economic phenomena solely on the
basis of utility maximisation.
