構建企業家精神:宗教信仰的作用

朱曉武

企業家精神是當今管理學研究的熱點問題,企業家早年經歷和宗教信仰與企業家精神的關係是本文研究的重點。以福耀玻璃董事長曹德旺先生為案例,基於現有的企業家精神理論,通過對曹德旺早年經歷分析,引入佛教哲學的相關理論,對現有的企業家精神理論進行重構,提出企業家精神理論模型。企業家精神是價值觀、願望和信心的心理秩序,早年經歷對企業家樹立正確的價值觀很重要。佛教引導人向自心求解,積極面對世事。在處面對挫折和選擇時,從“無我”進入心流狀態,重建內心秩序。本研究把宗教信仰納入到企業家精神的研究之中,構建企業家精神影響決策的路徑,未來可以通過對更多企業家的案例研究,進一步核對總和修正。

Entrepreneurship is a hot topic in management research. It focuses on the relationship between entrepreneurs’ early life experience, religious belief and entrepreneurship. Relevant theories of buddhist philosophy are introduced to reconstruct the existing theory of entrepreneurship by case study of Mr. Cao Dewang, chairman of Fuyao group. Entrepreneurship is the psychological order of values, aspirations and confidence. Early experiences are important for entrepreneurs to establish correct values. Buddhism leads people to seek solutions from the heart and face the world actively. In the face of setbacks and choices, Buddhism helps people to go from selfless to flow and rebuild their inner order. In this study, religious belief is incorporated into the study of entrepreneurship to setup the path how entrepreneurship influences decision-making. In the future, more case studies of entrepreneurs can be conducted to further test and modify it.
