""Disruption"" is a buzzword for many economists and businesses, but how do we ethically disrupt the way we do business and economics in order to lift people up? This book offers resources from a conversation between Catholic social thought and design thinking in response to the question. Drawing from the understanding of structures of sin and structures of grace in Catholic social thought and the concepts of design thinking, this book offers principles to consider in trying to disrupt our business and economic systems toward becoming more like structures of grace.
Industry Reviews
“Located at the intersection of theology, business ethics, and design theory, this highly original volume forges a major contribution to each of these fields. Puen leverages the best of the longstanding tradition of Catholic social thought to shed abundant light on the ethical possibilities for managing rapid change. As we together navigate the complexities of global economic disruption, everyone will benefit richly from this timely volume.”
—Thomas Massaro, SJ, McGinley Endowed Chair in Religion and Society, Fordham University
“Stephanie Puen offers a stimulating, interdisciplinary contribution to business ethics that indicates how design thinking, informed by Catholic social thought, can disrupt sinful structures and serve the common good. In accessible prose, she offers fresh and valuable approaches to challenges posed by contemporary ‘wicked problems,’ providing principles for constructive solutions in areas of organizational culture and practice.”
—Kristin Heyer, Joseph Chair in Theology, Boston College
“Steph Puen has long been associated with three distinguishing traits. First, she’s current, she knows, understands, and engages contemporary insights, claims, and worlds of thought. Witness here: wicked problems, disruption, design thinking, structures of grace. Second, she’s always thinking ethically. She knows how vice and virtue work, she sees sin and grace tangibly, and she knows the cost of being human and of being upright. Finally, she’s humbly brilliant. She brings you into the world she sees as it is and as she envisions it can be. It’s like entering her home, where one finds innovative design, gracious hospitality, and considerable wit. Read Puen’s The Ethics of Disruption in Business. It’s sensational.”
