Albert Low is an internationally published author of many books, including Invitation To Practice Zen, which is now in its thirteenth printing. In 2003 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law degree for scholastic attainment and community service by Queen's University Ontario. He is currently director of the Montreal Zen Centre, which has over 200 students, many of whom are doctors, psychiatrists, and university professors.
"Low, author of Zen and Creative Management (1976), believes that corporations are not just for profits and stockholders, but rather are complex organizations that produce a product amid conflicting interests among stockholders, the market, and employees. He believes creativity is central to corporate life and helps corporations manage conflicting interests. Creativity also helps managers consider ethics and social responsibility as legitimate considerations in understanding and solving problems. With a focus on the workplace, Low pursues such topics as spirituality, stress, work organization, conflict, humor, ambiguity, and employees' commitment, capacity, and ability... This volume is best suited to those interested in a philosophical perspective on the topic, particularly faculty and practitioners. Recommended." --Choice
