12th IBA International Conference on 15th & 16th March

Added: (Sat Feb 16 2019)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Bengaluru, Feb, 2018: Indus Business Academy (IBA), Bengaluru is organizing the 12th edition of its annual internation conference on 15th and 16th March at the IBA campus. The conference theme this year is “Corportate, Spiritual and Social Responsibility - Redefining Human Society and Corpo-rate Relationship”.

In the conference, delegates would like to explore the vision and practice of corporate spiritual re-sponsibility (including ecological, ethical and moral responsibility) which can help us transform existing conceptions and practices of corporations. It explores the frames and ways of responsibility which goes beyond existing polarities such as state and market, market and NGOs and lead to clos-er interactions among actors leading to transformation towards a holistic vision of development. It also explores how corporate spiritual responsibility can transform the existing discourse of corpo-rate social responsibility. In our conference, we also explore cases of corporations and service de-livery groups which follow a spiritual approach to self, society, market by pointing to the need for cultivating the dimension of love, care and responsibility—our potential real higher self—and not just be a slave of narrow self-interest.

Corporate spiritual responsibility strives to rethink corporations and individuals as part of an ecolo-gy of relationships inhabited by human, social, Nature and the Divine—all understood in a very broad sense and not in a narrow, dogmatic way. We also want to specifically focus on how corpora-tions should address themselves to the spiritual challenges of their own employees, society and humanity. Many of the employees of corporations are going through pain, stress, burnout and lack and crisis of meaning. Existing counselling and therapy programs are inadequate to address these problems. Corporations must put their own houses in order by transforming them into ecologies of well-being and creativity and not just money-making machines. In essence they should contribute towards realization of the vision of integral and holistic development the human society.
