Religious Doctrines and their Influence on Entrepreneurship (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"There are those who say that Religion and entrepreneurship do not mix. With this book, Fiet shatters this myth. For many entrepreneurs, their faith has been a central influence in shaping their worldviews. This book provides an excellent resource for pursuing such inquiries."

- Lowell Busenitz, Professor Emeritus of Entrepreneurship, University of Oklahoma, United States

"Professor Fiet examines what effect a belief system would have on entrepreneurial outcomes, while providing his own rationale. He is quick to point out that readers could differ. However, the framework offered by Fiet's book could greatly reduce confusion about where disagreements exist."

- Jeffery S. McMullen, David H. Jacobs Chair in Strategic Entrepreneurship and Professor of Entrepreneurship, Indiana University, United States

"Professor Fiet advances the field from a general understanding of religion to a specific application of the different doctrines withinand between different religions. This book makes an important contribution to the future of scholarship by highlighting how and why these distinctions matter. It provides a comprehensive, provocative, and even controversial analysis of the role of religion in entrepreneurship."

- Brett Smith, Founder Director, L.I.F.E. (Leading the Integration of Faith & Entrepreneurship) Research Center, Miami University, United States

This book explores how religious doctrines influence launching a new venture. It is not an examination of doctrinal veracity. Rather, it examines how entrepreneurs see their work, assuming they receive what they expect from their doctrines. More than 100 years ago, Max Weber pitted Protestantism against Hinduism. The current study is a multifactorial examination that updates Weber's initial findings.
