| Summary / Zusammenfassung | One of the key functions of religion is to provide life with a basic orientation and to integrate it into a meaningful context. This has to be achieved in a world in which people are repeatedly confronted by unexpected events, fundamental insecurities, and existential crises. The function of management is precisely to make productive and effective decisions and to aim at goal-oriented solutions even when faced with unexpected events, fundamental insecurities, and existential threats. It is common to contrast the resources for orientation that religion and management respectively offer because they are thought to exclude and contradict one another: spirituality vs. efficiency, real experience vs. instrumental rationality, meaningfulness vs. goal-directedness, elusiveness vs. feasibility. This research project critically examines these alleged oppositions by looking at the role of individuals in situations when orientation is needed. The guiding questions are those of decision making under uncertainty, of self-care, of the implementation of moral standards in corporate contexts, and of the role of moral integrity. One of the aims of the project is to contribute from an ethical perspective to a theory of the culture of dealing with the elusive. |
