2019 Annual Humanistic Management Network

The 2019 Seventh Annual Humanistic Management Conference will take place on October 10. and 11. 2019 in Krakow, Poland organized and sponsored by the Institute of Culture of Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Cracow University of Economics, Silesian University of Technology and the Weltethos Institute.

Business is not a self-serving exercise as we rightfully expect business to make a positive impact on society, acting with solidarity and actively catering to the common good. While this expectation stands in conflict with a singular focus on maximizing shareholder value, we argue that it is fully aligned with Humanistic Management principles which aim to deliver sustainable value along the triple bottom line.

At our 2019 conference we will therefore discuss the nexus between solidarity, the common good and Humanistic Management. We will assess and test the hypothesis that acting with solidarity and the catering to the common good are part and parcel of a Humanistic Management paradigm just as much as they are a necessity for us to find solutions to some of the most pressing challenges we face as a global community. We will explore how respect for the dignity of life, integrating ethical considerations in management decisions and engaging with stakeholders can help business deliver to the common good whilst providing a checkpoint for a genuine commitment to solidarity.

"On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world, shareholder value is a result, not a strategy … Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products."

Jack Welsh

"Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper."

Kazuo Inamori

"It is not because I have a lot of money that I pay my workers well but because I pay my workers well I have a lot of money."

Robert Bosch

"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."

Peter Drucker

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Anne Frank

"Wealth consists in using things rather than in owning them; it is really the activity – that is, the use – of property that constitutes wealth."

Aristoteles

"Everything has either a price or dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else which is equivalent; whatever, on the other hand, is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity."

Immanuel Kant

"And this is common to all external things that they are good to the extent that they lead to virtue, but not in themselves."

Thomas Aquinas

"The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the public is catching on."

Warren Buffett

"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business."

Henry Ford

"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof."

John Kenneth Galbraith

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

Desmond Tutu

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

Buddha

"We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization."

Kofi Annan

"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life."

Dalai Lama

"Economic growth may one day turn out to be a curse rather than a good, and under no conditions can it either lead into freedom or constitute a proof for its existence."

Hannah Arendt

"Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world."

Mary Wollstonecraft

"Who is rich? He who rejoices in his portion."

The Talmud
