Religion and Business

Historically, religion and business have influenced each other although, admittedly, sometimes they have interacted in an antagonistic manner. From the religious perspective, there is a cache of teaching, particularly from the world's three monotheistic religions, on what is right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust. Drawing upon wisdom from their sacred texts, religions have critiqued significant business issues such as fiscal systems, labor conditions, economic disparities, and corporate decision‐making policies and actions, to name a few. With the rise of a more lively interest in business ethics over the past fifty years, the role of religion in the corporate world has become an important reference point. Criticism of religion from business, however, has tended to focus on religion's lack of strategic business plans and lack of proper skill sets to manage its organization.
