About The Humanistic Management Network
The two main questions that drive our activities are:
-
What is the role of business in society and how can humanism help us to better assess this role?
-
How can we continue to reap the benefits of free market economies whilst becoming more effective in creating shared benefits and prosperity?
Our mission is to influence business academia, management practitioners, policy makers, and the general public in defining the purpose and role of business in a global society. We foster the creation and dissemination of actionable knowledge to change business practices towards humanistic ideals.
Our vision is a global economy in which all stakeholders are equally respected so that market mechanisms are applied to maximize societal benefits rather than individual profits; an economy in which economic rationality is applied as a means rather than an end in itself.
To work towards achieving our mission we focus on academic work as well as offering consulting services to organizations that are interested in learning about, and potentially adjusting the way in which they take on societal responsibilities. Please visit the research and consulting pages of this website to learn more about our activities.
