Topic Overview Integral Business (aka conscious or purpose-driven business) is a term used to describe a business enterprise that seeks to be aware of the effects of its actions, and to consciously affect human beings and the environment in a beneficial way. Several corporations include facets of Integral Theory in their business model (e.g., Whole Foods, Patagonia, Natura Cosmetics), yet there is no agreed upon criteria to ascertain whether a business is integral or not. With this special issue, JITP hopes to define the contours of an integral business.
Authors may approach Integral Business from a strictly AQAL perspective, via an already-established paradigm (e.g., the Triple Bottom Line model), or from personal experience (e.g., from positions held in business development, leadership, or marketing). In tune with the basic tenets of Integral Theory, articles should explore how an integrally informed business impacts the world in various spheres and how business practices may be sustained over time. In addition, discussion should include how business influences humans’ inner and outer worlds as well as its impact on the environment.
An integral business is inherently socially responsible, but authors should consider the short- and long-term effects of a business’ actions or inactions. For the purposes of this special issue, an integral business must embrace at least two criteria:
1. The organization’s mission is based on a dual commitment to both making profits and “making a difference.”
2. The organization’s members have a conscious practice of working with the conflicts and issues this dual mission engenders.
Suggested topics:• Integrating the strengths and weaknesses of the non-profit and for-profit sectors• How to push business forward without repressing or compartmentalizing conflict (e.g.,
workplace = ruthlessness; home life = love and empathy)• The strengths of various management or leadership models• Branding issues• The relationship of Integral Business to movements such as Socially Responsible
Investing, Conscious Consumerism, and the Not-Just-For-Profit Business model • Managing “burn-out” and expectations among company founders and leaders
We also hope authors will address the challenges of Integral Business: shadow (i.e., how unresolved issues often surface when money and meaning are combined), how to embed integral practices in the lower quadrants, applying integral principles to large organizations, or how to validate dynamics among a workforce at varying altitudes, to name a few.
Timeline and Requirements• The deadline for submission of completed manuscripts is July 1, 2012.• Submissions will undergo the standard peer-review process, which can take several
months. Authors will then revise their material before having a final theoretical review with Ken Wilber and Mr. Cardoso.
• Articles must follow JITP’s submission guidelines. Queries and articles should be sent to JITP’s managing editor, Lynwood Lord.
