2020 ANNUAL HUMANISTIC MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE THEME: DIGNITY AT WORK
The 2020 Eighth Annual Humanistic Management Conference will take place on the Xth and Yth of November 2020 in Kyoto, Japan, hosted by Doshisha University.
2020 marks the 10th anniversary of positioning unconditional respect for the dignity of life as the definitory foundation of Humanistic Management. It was in 2010, at the 16th International Symposium on Ethics, Business and Society at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain that Ernst von Kimakowitz, co-founder of the Humanistic Management Network, first presented the three stepped approach to Humanistic Management with unconditional respect for the dignity of life as its foundation.
To commemorate this anniversary and the rich and varied body of knowledge that has since emerged on the topic of Humanistic Management, the theme of our 2020 Eighth Annual Humanistic Management Conference is Dignity at Work. This theme’s wording carries different connotations. On one side it can be interpreted as focusing on the level at which dignity is respected at a workplace and is thus asking if and how unconditional respect for the dignity of life is experienced by members of an organization in the daily work life. But Dignity at Work can also be interpreted as focusing on the impact generated when respect for the dignity of life is ingrained in an organization’s DNA. This interpretation of our conference theme is looking at the inner functionings of organizations that are respectful of dignity and the outcomes they produce. In addition our 2020 conference theme also inspires reflection on our own current state of thinking on what Humanistic Management means. In summary this conference will be a catalyst for enhancing our understanding of a humanistic management paradigm whilst offering our global community the opportunity to learn from and with each other.
We are most grateful and honored to be able to have this conference at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan which is also a most fitting location for this conference theme. Dignity, well being and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) feature prominently in Japanese business culture and the curent discourse on the role of business in society.
To provide you with a valuable conference experience we have built an interactive program spanning two and a half days to offer you keynotes, workshops, paper sessions, panels and ample networking opportunities and the festive launch of the Humanistic Management Network Japan Chapter.
Come join us at the 2020 Eighth Annual Humanistic Management Conference – together we make impact towards a more sustainable and more equitable planet.
On behalf of everyone at the Humanistic Management Network we look forward to welcoming you in Kyoto
