Beauty of Management in Vedic and Modern Management

This paper explores the concept of "beauty" in management — the aesthetic, ethical, and harmonious qualities that make management practices not only effective but meaningful — by comparing principles from Vedic literature (Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita) with core ideas from modern management theory (classical, behavioral, systems, contingency, and contemporary humanistic approaches). Using a mixed-methods approach (textual analysis, surveys of managers, and expert interviews), the study investigates convergences and divergences, proposes an integrated framework (Vedic–Modern Harmony Model), and offers practical recommendations for contemporary organizations.
