As an implementation of spirituality in management process, a new paradigm of unity in management sciences is proposed.

Summary
Searching for the causes of today’s global crisis we can say that one of the important factors is a speculative financial market and its impact on the real economy. Instead of serving the economy, this market has become highly damaging in reverse relationships: the goods, services, environment, as well as working people have become subordinated and manipulated by speculative capital seeking to maximize profits. Being an important element of the economic system and social relationships—human labour has become the slave of profit, which is no longer the profit of the entrepreneur, but the profit of speculative capital, far from workplaces, one which does not see human work but only consumption and income (Bruni, 2012). In the conditions of the unrestrained capitalism, “efficiency and productivity can be the biggest foes of efficiency and productivity” (Pitelis, 2002) This unlimited greed of shareholders leads to a monopoly like situation, inequitable distribution of income, unemployment and an environmental disaster
