The Model of Critique in Business

Suzan Langenberg

Chapter Chapter 18 in Spirituality and Business, 2010, pp 219-232 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 18, Suzan Langenberg explains the concept of critique as a means of fuelling spiritual motivation in our business behavior and social responsibility of organizations. Critique is based on the individual will “not to be governed that way.” Although, to start, we do not have the alternative, ethical principles or any well-known scientific paradigms to back up our process; according to her, this critique-exercise or “disobedience” leads primarily to a confrontation with the self and a quest for emancipation. It creates uncertainty and, at the same time, an open playing field for new developments. In short, it brings us to the practice of encouraging freedom and spiritual inspiration. She introduces an example of an organization that has organized the spiritual praxis of “truth-telling and self-critique.”
