Life to Business: A Framework from the Jain Philosophy.

Abstract

Be it a real-life business dilemma or solving a case study, management students will always seek an adequate framework that would work best in any given situation. Here, we discuss a framework based on the conversation between a great Jain monk, Acharya Shri Vidyanand Ji, and one of his disciples. Acharya Shri was a great philosopher, saint, and thinker. He not only knew many languages but also was known to have in-depth knowledge of a plethora of subjects. He used to teach his disciples based on their interests and subject knowledge. For instance, he had the capability to explain Jainism in the language of a physicist to a person from a physics background and the language of a chemist to a person possessing a degree in chemistry, and so on.
