“Business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving our world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the areas in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good.”
The Task Force on Inspirational Paradigm for Jesuit Business Education has been operating since 2019. The objective of this program is to explore how Jesuit business education should respond to the growing challenges facing today's economic system. The approaches they use are inspired by many other Jesuit and lay organizations, including Laudato Si', Fratelli Tutti, the UN development Goals, and feedback from students, faculty, innovators, and global thought leaders.
As global challenges grow and change, so does the Task Force.
