The Buddhist Perspective on Business Ethics: Experiential Exercises for Exploration and Practice

Continuing our exploration of how the great faith traditions approach business ethics we invite Stephen J. Gould into the conversation.As he notes “while Buddhism focuses on the same ethical concerns as Western ethical traditions, it provides a distinct perspective and method for dealing with them” His paper outlines the basic Buddhist perspective and then provides some experiential exercises which offer insight for self-understanding and ethical practices in business.He also discusses the implications for business and ethics research.
