JOHN A. RYAN INSTITUTE The Second International Symposium on Catholic Social Thought and Management Education
University of Antwerp - Antwerp, Belgium
July 27-30, 1997
The purpose of this Symposium was to enhance the Catholic character of business schools by examining the interdisciplinary relationships of Catholic social thought and management practice and theory. In one sense, the mere presence of participants indicated a partial accomplishment of our purpose. Participants of this conference were scholars and practitioners from more than 22 countries in the areas of law, theology, finance, philosophy, engineering, management, economics, and marketing. While they came from diverse disciplines and cultures, participants were united to examine and engage Catholic social thought and management education. There was a strong sense on behalf of the participants to strengthen and renew the integrity of the Catholic university as well as to deepen their own understanding of the human person and the human enterprise of work. The papers on this web site are works in progress. If you would like further information concerning authors or future conferences, e-mail Dr. Michael Naughton at mjnaughton@stthomas.edu.
