This book aims at catalyzing our learning from the COVID-19 crisis.
Numerous studies have emerged confirming that during the COVID-19
pandemic, crisis management has been far from holistic. Progress
previously made towards sustainability has in many cases been
reversed and global inequality has grown. This volume scrutinizes
the crucial role of businesses in the lived experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic and calls for a new goal system in business,
establishing human dignity as the ultimate outcome of sound
business. Part of the Humanism in Business Series, this book brings
together a group of international experts to consolidate the
lessons to be learnt from the pandemic and how it was handled. It
explores the foundations of the crisis, before focusing on selected
sectors and regions for analysis and, finally, drawing conclusions
according to the principles of humanistic crisis management. It
will be of great interest to scholars and students of business
ethics, as well as policy-makers, professionals and all those who
practice humanistic management.

What is the purpose of our economic system? What would a more
life-serving economy look like? There are many books about business
and society, yet very few of them question the primacy of GDP
growth, profit maximization and individual utility maximization.
Even developments with a humanistic touch like stakeholder
participation, corporate social responsibility or corporate
philanthropy serve the same goal: to foster long-term growth and
profitability. Humanism in Business questions these assumptions and
investigates the possibility of creating a human-centered,
value-oriented society based on humanistic principles. An
international team of academics and practitioners present
philosophical, spiritual, economic, psychological and
organizational arguments that show how humanism can be used to
understand, and possibly transform, business at three different
levels: the systems level, the organizational level and the
individual level. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to
academics, practitioners and policymakers concerned with business
ethics and the relationship between business and society.
