The research of the Buddhist doctrines to rectify business corruption of the present age

Chien-Jen, Chen 23 January 2003 (has links)
Abstract There is always good performance in business for the first generation of today¡¦s entrepreneurs. These first generation entrepreneurs have much to contribute to the economy of Taiwan nowadays. However, illicit activities were committed unceasingly in the last five (5) years by some of the owners, such as diverting funds, making illegal deals in stocks, gaining illegal profit, faking financial reports, lending and borrowing illegally, failing in investment etc. As a result, firms failed to operate during financial crisis, hurting the rights and interests of investors. Furthermore, employees were laid off. These illicit activities were not the result of operation but were motivated by greed and other ulterior motives. This research shows that there are four common major problems in the enterprises of the present age. 1. Shortsightedness. 2. Lack of principle & ethic of management. 3. Lack of innovation. 4. Benefiting the self at the expense of others. Buddhist doctrines explore and solve problems based on cause-effect using psychology and mentality. This research recommends four methods based on the Buddhist doctrines to rectify the four major problems. 1. The Bodhisattva is afraid of cause and the ordinary is afraid of effect to overcome shortsightedness. 2. To obey the precepts and ethics to overcome the lack of principle & ethic of management. 3. To cultivate oneself according to the self-reflection Buddhist doctrines to overcome the lack of innovation. 4. To operate with compassion and kindness to others to overcome benefiting the self at the expense of others. The aim is to apply Buddhist doctrines in this research, rectify the corruption of enterprises of the present age, and assist them to be successful businesses. Moreover, it could help them to be excellent and prosperous businesses. In addition, companies can learn how to avoid failure. Business failure is not shameful; it is only a process in any venture. It is encouraging when a firm rebuild again from failures. According to the findings of this research, it is correct to fulfill the Buddhist doctrines to rectify business corruption of the present age.

Leadership for Organizational Change : A case study of how insurance companies can develop their leadership to better manage organizational change / Ledarskap för Organisationsförändringar : En studie om hur försäkringsbolag kan utveckla sitt ledarskap för att bättre hantera organisationsförändringar

ANDRÉN, JACOB January 2016 (has links)
Rapid development and changes in customer needs places high demands on companies to constantly adapt to new customer requirements in order to stay competitive. This places further demands on companies’ ability to put the customer in focus and quickly develop, produce and offer what the customers expect, which often implies organizational changes. Organizational changes can contribute to making employees feel confused and insecure concerning their new role, which in turn contributes to low motivation and inefficiency among employees. Research has shown that a critical success factor for changes is employees’ ability to cope and adapt to change. Leaders have a decisive role in this and can help employees considerably when it comes to this aspect. The problem is a lack of knowledge about which aspects of leadership are most important for companies to develop in order to better manage organizational changes.  This research has investigated leadership deficiencies in insurance companies that prevent them from managing organizational changes effectively. Furthermore this  research has examined how insurance companies may rectify the leadership deficiencies that have been identified in this research. The research consisted of a case study at Trygg--‐Hansa, which included both interviews and questionnaires. The results indicated that leaders have deficiencies within Self--‐Awareness, Communication, Lead Employees, Manage Change and Strategic Planning. Furthermore, the most important deficiency to improve is Communication since it is the foundation for the others in some extent. The  findings in this research have both research and managerial implications. Regarding the research implications, this research identifies important leadership shortcomings that prevent insurance companies from manage organizational changes effectively. Regarding the managerial implications, the findings in this study may be too firm specific for urging other companies and organizations to use the results and suggested recommendation of this research. / Den snabba utvecklingen och förändringarna i kundernas behov, ställer höga krav på företagen att ständigt anpassa sig till nya kundkrav för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Detta ställer även höga krav på företagens förmåga att sätta kunden i fokus och att snabbt utveckla, producera och erbjuda det kunderna förväntar sig, vilket många gånger innebär organisatoriska förändringar för företagen. Organisatoriska förändringar bidrar till att medarbetarna känner förvirring och osäkerhet i sin nya roll, vilket i sin tur bidrar till låg motivation och ineffektivitet bland medarbetarna. Forskning har visat att en kritisk framgångsfaktor för förändringar är arbetstagarens förmåga att anpassa sig till förändringar. Ledare har en avgörande roll och kan underlätta betydligt för de anställda när det gäller denna aspekt. Problemet är att det saknas kunskap om vilka aspekter av ledarskap som är viktigast för företag att utvecklas för att bättre kunna hantera organisatoriska förändringar. Därför har denna forskning undersökt ledarskaps brister som hindrar försäkringsbolag att hantera organisations förändringar effektivt. Studien har också undersökt hur försäkringsföretag kan korrigera ledarskaps brister som identifierats i den här undersökningen. Forskningen bestod av en fallstudie på Trygg-­‐Hansa, som inkluderade både intervjuer och  enkäter. Resultaten visade att ledarna har brister inom självkännedom, kommunikation, leda anställda, hantera förändringar och strategisk planering. Dessutom är kommunikation den viktigaste bristen att förbättra eftersom det är grunden för de andra bristerna i viss utsträckning. Slutsatserna i denna forskning har både praktiska och teoretiska implikationer. När det gäller teoretiska implikationer identifierar denna forskning viktiga ledarskaps brister som hindrar försäkringsbolag att hantera organisations förändringar relaterade till ökad kundfokus effektivt. När det gäller de praktiska implikationerna, kan resultaten från denna fallstudie vara för företagsspecifika att det är svårt att uppmana andra företag och organisationer att använda resultaten och de föreslagna rekommendationer som denna forskning resulterat i.
