Missing Contexts and Rethinking Formation, in the “Inspirational Paradigm for Jesuit Business Education”

The document, “An Inspirational Paradigm for Jesuit Business Formation,” published in 2020, aims to re-imagine the nature, purpose, and way of proceeding for Jesuit business education. This paper outlines the global Catholic context, the specific Jesuit context, and the pedagogical context informing that document, along with the challenges presented by those contexts. The paper argues that re-imagining the Jesuit business school curriculum requires re-imagining our approach to a concept of formation that goes beyond the Inspirational Paradigm.
