Managing Relationships between Organizations: Marketing, Supply Chain, and Strategy

Bruno Dyck

Chapter 18 in Management and the Gospel, 2013, pp 181-192 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In first-century Palestine patron-client relationships were the dominant paradigm for managing relationships between organizations. In short, the goal and duty of managers from relatively powerful goods and services producing organizations was to sustain and increase the power of their oikos via becoming “patrons” to outside “clients” who had relatively less power. Luke clearly and consistently speaks against such patron-client relationships, and presents a model of benefaction where the relatively powerful share resources with the relatively powerless without lording it over them. Similarly, Luke consistently favors sustenance economics over acquisitive economics.
