Special Issue on: "Enlightenment and Empowerment"


Guest Editor:
Dr. Jaeyoon Rhee, Chung-Ang University, Korea


The concept of Management of allSelves’ Enlightenment and Empowerment (MOSEE) refers to the enlightenment and empowerment of human spirits or consciousness. It transforms people, who are the major entities of corporation management, to have the built-in freedom, and thus inspires human relationships in joyful ways with family members, other people, jobs, money and capitalism systems, among others. So when MOSEE transforms individuals through enlightenment and empowerment, they transform organisations and communities such as families, corporations, societies, countries, and ultimately the universe.

In fact, MOSEE is a consolidated and integrated concept of Korean traditional philosophies and oriental enlightenment that utilise Western management science methodologies. The main premise of MOSEE is that it utilizes the human spirit as a management resource and thus it should be harnessed as such, whereas the modern management ignores this aspect of resource.

The purpose of this special issue is to examine the impact of MOSEE on business performance through human transformation through the concept of MOSEE. We believe that MOSEE can overcome some of the limitations of modern knowledge-based management theories and practices such as ignoring humanity in modern society, life values and environment destruction. We argue that MOSEE can help develop an organisational culture where business, technology and prosperity will be in equilibrium, leading to a superior performance in business and personal life.
