Abstract :

This Paper Explores The Synthesis Of Indian Management Paradigms And Contemporary Corporate Strategy Through The Guiding Principle Of Dharma—righteous Duty And Moral Order. It Argues That Integrating Dharma Into Corporate Governance Redefines The Very Purpose Of Business From Profit Maximization To Lokasaṅgraha, Or Collective Welfare. In Contrast To Conventional Shareholder-centric Models, The Dharmic Paradigm Envisions The Organization As A Moral Institution Embedded Within The Larger Fabric Of Society And Nature. Anchored In Classical Texts Such As The Arthashastra, Thirukkural, And Bhagavad Gita, This Approach Harmonizes Artha (material Prosperity) With Ethical Purpose, Fostering Sustainability, Trust, And Long-term Resilience. The Study Identifies Nine Strategic Dimensions—ranging From Leadership And Decision-making To Stakeholder Orientation And Motivation—where Dharma Transforms Managerial Intent And Behaviour. The Rājarṣi (philosopher-king) Model Of Leadership, Emphasizing Wisdom, Integrity, And Service, Replaces Transactional Efficiency With Moral Stewardship. By Aligning Strategy With Conscience, BMT Offers A Holistic And Futureready Framework For Ethical Enterprise. This Dharmic Integration, The Study Concludes, Represents Not Merely An Alternative Model Of Management But A Civilizational Vision— Reinstating Ethics, Empathy, And Sustainability At The Core Of Corporate Excellence And Global Leadership.
