abstract

while it is easy to see the ways that business has gone global today, it is less easy to see how scriptural ideas for holistic business are currently put in practice. we have outlined themes related to business found in scripture and used them to create a holistic scorecard for businesses. we also compare recent views on the purpose of business and some businesses that follow these models using the scorecard. we include the classic 1970 essay by milton friedman (“the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits”) and continue through john elkington (cannibals with forks), mackey & sisodia (conscious capitalism), and roche and jakub (completing capitalism).
