Thus far, these subjects seem to have been largely ignored and dismissed within management studies, yet influence many organisations. To what extent has this been due to skepticism and taboos, and what other factors have resulted in this absence of such alternative domains? How could these themes be incorporated, and what value could this add to our understanding of organisations?

Hi Marie
Well, I am not an expert. I think when it comes to people management, you may have to consider all of the above factors as people are different. People may be religious/non-religious, serious/easy-going, conservative/modern, esoteric/simple etc. The challenge for Managers and Leaders is how to get their jobs/tasks/contracts done through various kind of personalities.
Best regards

David Dunaetz - yes indeed I do, thanks! I know quite a number of the authors and some of the editors integral to this journal, and have presented in AoM's MSR Division. The tricky thing is that this journal is not included in the lists of journals that us professors in business schools are incentivised for, yet my colleagues and I consider it as a possible 'home' for our research along the way nonetheless.
There are direct connections between management and all layers of spiritualism, esoterism, religious movements etc... These exist within organizational management and scientific discovery of which I'm an expert. My entire life has been dedicated to these topics through applying science and management within the ultra-dimensionality of anti egocentric realities. Philosophically the management of these principles have been explored throughout time by philosophers, and scientists alike.
