At its best, business is both purposeful and profitable, dynamic and gainful, commercial and rewarding. Far from being opposites, good business and good behavior go hand-in-hand, and biblical principles can align with best practices. In Wisdom-Based Business, marketing and supply-chain professor Hannah J. Stolze draws principles from the Bible's wisdom literature and from evidence-based research to create a framework for business that is oriented toward excellence and sustainability. This study addresses import issues such as:
• The virtue of profit • Servant leadership • Wisdom-based values, such as long-term over short-term, stakeholders, and quality • Beneficial outcomes of wisdom-based business, including reputation and comparative advantage • The ultimate outcome of eternal impact
Christians working in the marketplace or training to do so will benefit from Wisdom-Based Business: Audio Lectures' practical guidance on how to reflect Christian values in their corporate tasks and strategies. Far from being hindrances, those values can become keys to success.
