Business and love appear to have little to do with each other. We hold the opposite to be true if the concept of love in business draws from two corresponding grammars. This paper contributes to the 'agenda for growth and affirmation of people and the environment' (agape) in business. By focusing on the grammars of love and business we operationalize the concept of love in ways that business executives, managers and employees can understand, adopt, and implement. With references to the theory and practice of management and organizations, we aim to contribute to expanding the theory and practice of responsible organizations and their leaders caring for others.
商业与爱情似乎彼此关联甚少。但如果商业中的爱情概念源自两种相应的“语法”，我们则认为事实恰恰相反。本文有助于推进商业领域中“促进人与环境的成长与发展议程”（神爱）。通过聚焦爱情与商业的“语法”，我们以企业高管、经理和员工能够理解、采纳并实施的方式，将爱情概念付诸实践。参考管理与组织的理论及实践，我们旨在为拓展负责任组织及其关爱他人的领导者的理论与实践贡献力量。
