Celebrating a decade of progress in the fast developing field of management, spirituality and religion, this book provides the crème de la crème of academic scholarship in this crucial field of interest that lies in the intersection of religion/spirituality with management and organization studies, bridging the humanities, the social sciences and business and management. The very best articles that won the coveted ‘best paper of the year’ award, sponsored by the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Canada and published in the top ranked interdisciplinary Journal of Management, Spirituality and Religion, illustrate the development of thinking over the past decade, showcasing diverse theoretical orientations and methodological approaches, written by the leading scholars in the field. This authoritative collection will be a valued addition to university libraries as much as to specialized interest groups. The book will be serving as key text for teaching and a ‘must read’ for anyone wishing to inform themselves of this growing field of scholarship.
