ABSTRACT

This analytical study is of 3 objectives, i.e., (1) to study the administrations of business organizations in accordance with the good governance; (2) to study the administrations according to the good governance in Buddhism; and (3) to study the application of the Buddhist good governance to the administrations of business organizations.

           From this study, it is found that in administering business organizations successfully, the powers of both materials and people need to be harmonized in order to reach the set objectives; saying that, there are such utilizations of people, money, raw materials, the means of management and marketing, etc. Naturally, the overall administrations of business organizations are the systems of the organizations or the groups of the managements mainly seeking for profits. The seeking for the highest profits is the highest purpose in business management.  The following outcomes cause social  and environmental problems, i.e., the problems of conflict benefits, corruptions, misrepresentations, and economical inequalities, etc.  Hence, these are the causes of the origin of the good governance as the standard criteria of business management. The examples of the principles of the good governance are in the principles of law, virtues, transparency, participation, responsibilities, and worthiness, etc. These principles are expected to be used for solving the problems affected by the economy as mentioned.    

The researcher found that the principles of the good governance in Buddhism are based on the societies with the administrative managements under the respect of Dhammas as the rules to live together.  Therefore, the good governance in Buddhism is characterized in the ways of managerial administrations, and human- relationship building for living together. The used Dhammas are, for instance, the principles of Pañca-sīla, Sucarita, Disā, Parihāniyadhamma, Pañca-dhamma, and Bhogavibhāga  etc.

From the abovementioned principles of the good governance defined in general and in Buddhism, it is found that there are 3 sections of the principles in Buddhism, i.e., the ethics of business organizations, the idealities in administering business organizations, and the law of Dhammas of business organizations which are all in accordance with the Buddhist good governace; all of which can be the procedures or the rules for the administrations of business organizations.
