우량기업의 특징에 대한 기독교 세계관적 고찰

Abstract

This paper tried to investigate distinguishing characteristics of excellent companies in terms of the Christian worldview. There are many research outputs in the area of business management to find important characteristics of excellent companies. This study suggests that excellent characteristics of such researches could be used as wise proverbs in the field of business management without conflict with the Christian worldview. Major arguments in this paper are like these. First, companies are representative institutions of the capitalist free market economy system. Although some of them are operated badly, they are basically good. Second, distinguishing characteristics of excellent companies derived from prior researches in business management are not contrary to biblical mind. Third, to man, work has meanings such as ‘growth in both spiritual and general sense,’ ‘experiencing community and serving others,’ and ‘actualizing creatures’ potential.’ Fourth, the significance of work through companies involves dramatic expansion of ‘growth,’ ‘serving others,’ and ‘actualizing creatures’ potential’ compared to an individual level. Fifth, distinguishing characteristics of excellent companies are matched well with the meaning of work through companies. Excellent companies pursue not only money. They pursue right principles beyond money, which are relevant to the Christian worldview.
