金剛經與企業經營領導者的關係
林盈鈞
重視經典文化活用在商業經營，是持續發展的方向。《金剛經》乃大乘重要經典，在中國流傳深遠，且影響層面廣。《金剛經》揭示開悟成佛之道，即體即用，理念與實踐並行。當代乃商業社會，運用《金剛經》在現代企業管理方面，發揮佛法與世法的融通，為本文研究動機。企業管理為運用規畫、組織、領導、控制等管理功能來提昇行銷、人事、生產、財務之發展等過程或活動。論者咸認為管理者的角色功能與能力影響企業經營績效與永續性。因此本文擬從《金剛經》的義涵如何提供成為優秀的管理者，舉如不應著心的創新思維、不斷學習的精進思維、帶領與溝通的同理能力，與去我執、法執的自身修養，方可以成為優秀的管理者。本文將引用企業家為範例說明，包括日本經營之聖稻盛和夫之經營之道為佐證，論述《金剛經》在現代企業管理方面足以值得借鑑轉化，以資證明大乘佛法出世入世的融通，期望能建構佛法與現代商業管理與經營之間的研究參考。

The Diamond Sutra’s Application in Business Ethics – Analyzing Key Qualities of Business Managers
Ying‐Jun Lin
Paying attention to the classics and culture, and applying them flexibly in business management, will continue to be the direction of development. An important Mahayana Buddhist text, “The Diamond Sutra” has extensive and profound influence in China. “The Diamond Sutra” reveals the path to enlightenment, pointing out that the self is its functions, and concept and action should be in step with each other. The motive of this research is the application of “The Diamond Sutra” in modern business management so as to best integrate Buddhist teachings in the secular world. Business management is the process or activity of using planning, organization, leadership and control to improve marketing, human resource, production and financial development. It is believed that the role and ability of the manager affects the performance and sustainability of a business. Thus, this essay attempts to provide key qualities of a good manager through the interpretation of “The Diamond Sutra”. For instance, a good manager should be free and innovative in his thinking, continuously learn and improve, have the ability to lead and communicate, and not be egocentric or inflexible. Citing examples of entrepreneurs, including legendary Japanese entrepreneur Kazuo Inamori, this essay discusses how “The Diamond Sutra” can provide insights into modern business management, testifying to the applicability of Mahayana Buddhism in both spiritual pursuit and secular concerns, in the hope of establishing reference for research between Buddhist teachings and modern business management and operation.
