Integrating Business as Mission (BAM) into the Business School Curriculum Presented at Christian Business Faculty Association (CBFA) conference at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, OH, Jun 2011 Ric Rohm, fwrohm@seu.edu

Agenda Research purpose BAM overview Literature & resource review

SEU Mission Statement Southeastern, a dynamic, Christ-centered university, fosters student success by integrating personal faith and higher learning. Within our loving Pentecostal community, we challenge students to a lifetime of good work and of preparing professionally so they can creatively serve their generation in the Spirit of Christ. Picture of Divine Servant Fountain at SEU Southeastern University Mission (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.seuniversity.edu/about/mission_statement.php LINK

SEU Institutional Goals Picture: Divine Servant Fountain at SEU 3 of 6 institutional goals: A Family-oriented Community of Servants Servanthood in leadership as well as relationship means practical kindness in the example of Christ. We do not believe it possible to fully serve God without serving humanity. We likewise believe it is not possible to fully serve humanity without serving the family of God in this place. Professional and Academic Excellence Our God is a God who “doeth all things well.” “Good enough for church work” is a repugnant phrase to us. Here at Southeastern and in the professions and ministries to follow, we hold excellence as being consistent with who God is. Culturally Literate and Sensitive If we are committed to serve God and the world in the genuine love of Christ, we must understand the world and its true needs. Sensitivity to the spirits of those around Him was at the heart of Christ’s ministry. To understand and respond with sensitive love implies not compromise but compassion. http://www.seuniversity.edu/about/institutional_goals.php A Family-oriented Community of Servants Professional and Academic Excellence Culturally Literate and Sensitive LINK

BAM Definition Other terms Great Commission Companies Holistic ministry Kingdom Companies Marketplace Ministries Micro-Finance (faith-based) Social Entrepreneurship (faith-based) Tentmaking “Business as Mission is about real, viable, sustainable and profitable businesses; with a Kingdom of God purpose, perspective and impact; leading to transformation of people and societies spiritually, economically, socially, and environmentally – to the greater glory of God.” (Tunehag, 2008, p. 8) Tunehag, the Lausanne Senior Associate for Business as Mission, provides a succinct definition of BAM. “Business as Mission is about real, viable, sustainable and profitable businesses; with a Kingdom of God purpose, perspective and impact; leading to transformation of people and societies spiritually, economically, socially, and environmentally – to the greater glory of God” (Tunehag, 2008, p. 8). (paper p. 4) Tunehag, Mats. (2008). God means business! An introduction to business as mission, BAM. Retrieved from http://www.lausanne.org/documents/BAM_GodMeansBusiness.pdf LINK

Where are the Businesspeople? (Tunehag, 2008, p. 4)

Also 1997 (hard cover) and 1999 publishing. Triple bottom line picture: http://blog.gohuman.com/index.php/vision/triple-bottom-line-for-small-local-businesses-you-can-make-it-work (Tunehag, 2008, p. 8)

Where is BAM? Beyond Grey Pinstripes Report, 600 AACSB schools “BAM,” “business as mission,” “missionary,” “missions;” no results were produced “Christian” produced only nine results The Aspen Institute is a business consulting organization that “…fosters[s] values-based leadership, encouraging individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and to provide a neutral and balanced venue for discussing and acting on critical issues” (Aspen Institute, n.d.). Since 2001, they have produced the “Beyond Grey Pinstripes Report” every two years (Beyond Grey, n.d.). Beyond Grey “…spotlights innovative full-time MBA programs leading the way in integrating social and environmental stewardship into their curriculum and scholarly research”. Over 600 Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB) accredited MBA programs were surveyed (Beyond Grey, n.d.). Unfortunately this leaves out thousands of other schools. Part of the criteria for the rankings is course offerings and faculty research in the areas of social entrepreneurship. The web site allows one to search for course and research content. Upon entering terms BAM, business as mission, missionary, missions; no results were produced. Entering the word Christian produced only nine results. One involved research and the other eight courses. Of the courses, six are ethics courses, four from Notre Dame, one from Pepperdine, and one from Seattle Pacific University (one of the very few AASCB accredited Christian Universities). The other two courses are from Seattle Pacific University, managerial economics and managerial marketing. Of the hundreds of entries in the course offerings and faculty research, not one mentioned BAM. Thus there do not seem to be a lot of Christian colleges deliberately focusing on BAM. (paper p. 6) LINK

Current BAM Education Initiatives BUSN 375 (3 CR) - Business as Mission (Steve Rundle) ICS/MIS 6043 (3 CR) - Business as Missions, Tentmaking Strategies for the 10/40 Window (Patrick Lai) Biola University [La Mirada, CA] offers a three-credit course in BAM, BUSN 375 - Business as Mission, as part of their BA in Business Administration major, International Business emphasis. Dr. Steve Rundle, Associate Professor of Economics teaches the course. He is the author of Great Commission Companies. (paper p. 7) Columbia International University (CIU) [Columbia, SC] offers a course in BAM, titled ICS/MIS 6043 Business As Missions - Tentmaking Strategies for the 10/40 Window (ICS/MIS 6043, 2008). The professor, Patrick Lai is listed as an adjunct faculty in the Seminary & School of Missions and Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies (Columbia International University, n.d.). The course is an elective as part of the Seminary & School of Missions various MA programs. (paper p. 7-8)

Current BAM Education Initiatives BA in Cross-Cultural Business Admin BA in Economic Development MA in Social Entrepreneurship iBAM - Intro to BAM Toccoa Falls College is a small Christian college in Toccoa, Georgia. They offer an undergraduate degree titled Cross-Cultural Business Administration. This degree is jointly sponsored by the School of Business Administration and the School of World Missions (Kilpatrick, 2006, p. 315). It has three stated goals (a) entry into creative access countries (CAC) with a marketable skill, (b) equip students to work for missions agencies in Christian denominations or para-church organizations, and (c) encourage graduates to join church planting and unreached people-group missions activity (p. 316). (paper p. 8) Eastern University [St David’s, PA] BA in Economic Development The degree “…is designed to prepare students for international work focused on community and economic development within developing country contexts… strongly encouraged to secure a full-time, overseas assignment upon graduation” (Economic Development, n.d.). (paper p. 21) Northwest University, a Christian university in Kirkland, Washington has a master’s degree in Social Entrepreneurship. It “…teaches students to use innovative business management skills to solve social problems and create sustainable, effective organizations” (Master of Arts, n.d.). (paper p. 9) A subsidiary of Youth with a Mission (YWAM), called Business as Mission, offers a course called iBAM or Introduction to Business as Mission (iBAM Course, n.d.). “Curriculum Introduction: Our aim is to create a hands-on, interactive approach to learning to prepare participants for involvement in business as mission. The iBAM Course incorporates classroom teaching and discussion, visits to local businesses, casestudies [sic], group work, one–on–one consultations from coaches and a field trip. We aim to build on both understanding and practical skills through a wide variety of learning processes. Through the course there is an emphasis on personal development, discipleship and mentoring. Time for worship, devotions, prayer and bible study are part of the daily rhythm of the iBAM schedule (iBAM Course, n.d.).” (paper p. 9)
