Business Beliefs: Exploring the Meaning of Management, John Dalla Costa
The foundations of management are being challenged and rethought. Scholars as well as practitioners are questioning the efficacy and ethicality of organizations focused only on the bottom‐line, or exclusively on results for shareholders. While a majority of board directors now recognize the imperatives for corporate citizenship, a widening gap is emerging between the rhetoric of responsibility and actual deeds. Managers in private and public sectors are charged with the personal responsibility to resolve the dilemmas between obtaining better business results, and for more substantive social contributions for justice, poverty‐reduction and peace‐building.
The social and economic problems facing organizations, communities and global society cannot be resolved without extraordinary management. But are we forming managers to be our best? Are we assigning the role the significance it deserves? And are we developing the moral capacities in persons, and within enterprises, to meet the heightened risks and stakes?
Business Beliefs is a six‐week continuous education course at Regis College for managers, or anyone interested in management. Starting Tuesday September 21st, 2010 at 7:00pm. Classroom A

Spring 2011:
Paul: The Apostle We Never Knew, Professor Scott Lewis S.J.
The many negative or positive opinions that people have about Paul the Apostle are often based on misinterpretation or an incomplete picture. Modern scholars study Paul in his first century context using his seven authentic letters. We are presented with an iconoclastic visionary with a challenging message for the culture and religious establishment of his time and our own. We will examine Paul’s vision of a new world without borders – a world that reflects God’s compassionate justice.
Eight weeks starting January 11 on Tuesdays from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. Classroom C
