Jain Business Ethics - An Oxymoron?

Jain Business Ethics - An Oxymoron?
Event Hosted by Young Jains UK

Date: Friday 20th March 2009
Time: 8:30 pm to 10:00pm
Venue: Sayer Centre, Oxgate Lane, Cricklewood, London NW2 7JN

 The ethics of business is constantly being questioned today, and businesses are being forced to embrace other factors beyond profit such as social and environmental responsibility. How do Jains fare in this arena?

Does Jainism have any core wisdom on Business Ethics? Is the real Jain Business Ethic profit, profit and more profit? Or is it profit, welfare and natural progress?

Businessmen and professionals concerned about their values and the impact of their activities on people and planet, would learn a great deal from this seminar by one of the leading global thinkers and writers on this subject, Dr. Atul Shah.

Atul Shah

His research has been published in international finance and business journals and he has written several books on the subject and spoken at international conferences. He was founder of Young Jains and founding editor of Jain Spirit magazine.

  • jyoti shah: Fun analogies and asscociation-a good tool to teach childeren
  • Suraj: Jyotiben Jai Jinendra The way that I had written the above post, it may appear that the song trivialises the tattvas - this was not my intention
  • jyoti shah: ashrav samvar nijra is very well explained in samysar in kund kun acharya,by kanji swami,by bahenshree etc. Why complicate it with your own explanatio
