Incorporating the Concept of “Memorial Services” into Management Decisions: How We Bring Things to a Close Shapes a Company’s Future

An experimental exploration of the essence of the challenges faced by business professionals, viewed through the lens of Shōkei Matsumoto, a Buddhist monk and philosopher. We welcomed Yuko Kitakaze of Dentsu Group GCSO as our guest and, following our previous discussion on “Integrity,” engaged in a dialogue on the theme of “Management Decisions and Commemoration.” It is no exaggeration to say that corporate management consists of a continuous series of “decisions.” Ms. Kitakaze explains that a decision is “deciding what not to do.”Management “decisions” and Buddhist “memorial services.” What insights into corporate growth emerge from their commonalities? In an era of increasing uncertainty, we present a dialogue where contemporary management challenges intersect with Buddhist thought.
