From Nirvana to Shiva in Impact Investing: Value (In)congruence in Investor–Investee Relationships.Joanna Vogeley, Debbie Haski-Leventhal & Erik Lundmark - 2023 - Business and Society 62 (6):1300-1334.details In the rapidly emerging field of impact investing, investors and investees collaborate to generate financial returns while addressing social and environmental challenges. This article conceptualizes impact investing as a value-based activity whereby value (in)congruence shapes relationships between investors and investees. Based on Schwartz’s basic values theory and the concept of value congruence, we examine 18 investor–investee dyads and identify four types of dynamic value–(in)congruent relationships: Nirvana, Yin and Yang, Soul-Searching, and Shiva. We capture these dynamic relationship types in the proposed (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

Reconceptualizing Profit-Orientation in Management: A Karmic View on ‘Return on Investment’ Calculations.Thomas Köllen - 2016 - Philosophy of Management 15 (1):7-20.details From the perspective of the present day, Puritan-inspired capitalism seems to have succeeded globally, including in India. Connected to this, short-term profit-orientation in management seems to constrain the scope of different management approaches in a tight ideological corset. This article discusses the possibility of replacing this Puritan doctrine with the crucial elements of Indian philosophy: Karma and samsara. In doing so, the possibility of revising the guiding principles in capitalist management becomes conceivable, namely the monetary focus of profit-orientation and its (...)
