Humanistic management is a people-oriented management that seeks profits for human ends. It contrasts with other types of management that are essentially oriented toward profits, with people seen as mere resources to serve this goal. This article reviews the historical development of humanistic management and the ever-increasing body of literature on the concept as well as the different meanings that scholars attribute to it. It then explores what form a genuine humanism might have by presenting seven propositions labeled as: 1) wholeness, 2) comprehensive knowledge, 3) human dignity, 4) development, 5) common good, 6) transcendence, and 7) stewardship-sustainability. Next, it looks at four characteristics of a humanistic ethos for managing business: the view of the individual and human work, the role of the individual in the society and in interacting with nature, the business firm, and the purpose of business in society. Finally, it presents some insights for the practice of humanistic management.

“…Persuasive efforts in this regard have mainly followed the Aristotelian philosophical tradition (e.g., Bragues 2006;Dierksmeier and Pirson 2009;Giovanola 2009;Hartman 2006Hartman , 2011Melé 2003Melé , 2009cRocha and Miles 2009;Solomon 1993Solomon , 2003. In a related vein, Wishloff (2009) has recently made the case for Thomistic realistic metaphysics as a basis for ethics and, in particular, for normative political economics (see also, Melé 2009c).…”

“…There have been several proposals to integrate Aristotelian thought into management (e.g., Bragues 2006;Dierksmeier and Pirson 2009;Giovanola 2009;Hartman 2006Hartman , 2011Melé 2009cMelé , 2010Rocha and Miles 2009;Solomon 1993).

“…It takes an appropriately rich view of resources (Gao and Bansal 2013) in order to assist decision-makers in moving towards sustainable wealth creation (Enderle 2009). And Bataille's philosophy delivers these things while being good for people (Rocha and Miles 2009) but not restrictively anthropocentric (Borland and Lindgreen 2013).…”

“…If, as extant research on sustainability as argued, we take as axiomatic that current business practices within the current economy are not sustainable, then this opens the door for consideration of actual alternatives to the philosophy of the economy itself, rather than to the nature of traditional market-oriented business practices. Such a proposition may seem drastic, but in a manner similar to Rocha and Miles (2009), I aim to demonstrate that radical departures from the status quo can be perfectly applicable to daily decision-making. The fallacy that current thinking is the only way of thinking (Sahlins 1995) is precisely the error we as a field seek to overcome.…”

Building on recent work seeking to redress the shortcomings of contemporary sustainability practices, two versions of sustainability are explored. The first, built on the logic of the market with its emphasis on growth, is found to use sustainability as a means to an end; an end which is not sustainable: growth. The second version, built on the logic of equilibrium developed by Georges Bataille (1967Bataille ( /2007, treats sustainability as the end itself and is thus sustainable by definition. The logics underlying and the mechanics of these forms of sustainability are explored. The ability of the Bataille logic to incorporate existing findings and offer a parsimonious goal on which to build strategies is discussed in light of specific connections to recent research. An empirical case is provided to illuminate the existence of the sustainability logic in contemporary business practice. Practical and theoretical implications are provided. Keywords: sustainability, marketing, strategy, structure Resumo: Com base em trabalhos recentes que buscam corrigir as deficiências das práticas de sustentabilidade contemporâneas, são exploradas duas versões de sustentabilidade. O primeiro, construído sobre a lógica do mercado com sua ênfase no crescimento, utiliza a sustentabilidade como um meio para um fim; um fim que não é sustentável: o crescimento. A segunda versão, construída sobre a lógica de equilíbrio desenvolvida por Georges Bataille (1967Bataille ( /2007, trata a sustentabilidade como o próprio fim e, portanto, é sustentável por definição. As lógicas subjacentes e a mecânica destas formas de sustentabilidade são exploradas. A capacidade da lógica Bataille de incorporar os achados existentes e oferecer um objetivo parcimonioso sobre o qual construir estratégias é discutida à luz de conexões específicas para pesquisa recente. Um caso empírico é fornecido para iluminar a existência da lógica de sustentabilidade na prática comercial contemporânea. São fornecidas implicações práticas e teóricas.
