Instilling Christian Principles of Business Success in the Classroom

Abstract

This paper illustrates how seven Christian principles create success: the admission of fallibility and forgiveness, individual responsibility to others and to the community, respect for all individuals, respect for private property, the emphasis on ethical principles over legalism, honesty, and leadership accountability. This paper shows that these principles contributed to the prosperity of the United States economy and businesses and suggests how these principles can be incorporated into business school classrooms.
