recognition further. Rather than profit maximization and efficiency, empathy is the primary organizing principle, according to this set of contributions from psychologists and business
academics and professionals. Discussion encompasses contemplative approaches to empathy, and applied approaches to empathy with regard to leadership and decision making in various contexts.
