The Place of Faith in Management Learning

Peter Simpson

University of the West of England, pf-simpson{at}uwe.ac.uk

This paper is an exploration of the place of faith in management learning. The popular myth that faith is merely a retreat from reality is tempered with the argument that faith can sometimes be an effective means of engaging with the risks and politics of managerial activity in a manner that may promote learning. Such faith is based on enduring values, commitment, and a willingness to engage in a struggle for power. In conclusion it is suggested that the link between faith and learning may be significant but is far from straightforward.
