Thoughts on the relatedness of work, death and life itself

Burkard Sievers

European Management Journal, 1990, vol. 8, issue 3, 321-324

Abstract: Through the ongoing attempt in our contemporary business world and in the majority of our work enterprises to search for ongoing growth, expansion and survival the notion of death and mortality increasingly is falling into oblivion. The emphasis of this essay lies in the conviction that such fundamental human qualities as meaning, maturity and even wisdom eventually will be expatriated from our economic activities unless people individually as well as collectively realize that the work they are doing, the life they are living, and the death they will inevitably experience, are interrelated.
