The problem of ethics in business: Does Vedanta have a solution?

This chapter suggests that value can be gained by placing ethics at the centre of commercial practice. Following a review of literature on occupational stress, organisational culture and business ethics, I contend that there are gaps in how business seeks to eliminate stress from the workplace. By placing ethics at the centre of business, we offer organisations a human orientation, which opens the door for integrating faith and spirituality with management. This chapter relies on the ancient Indian philosophy of Vedanta to suggest one such alternative principle.
