경영학적 관점에서 본 넓어진 선교 개념 평가 - 비즈니스 이론과 가치 사슬 원리를 중심으로 -

One of the most serious debates causing controversy in contemporary mission is the definition of the concept of missions. Specifically, the issue revolves around whether the traditional missionary concept, which places the core purpose within the concept of missions, is correct, or if it is more appropriate to encompass all tasks that contribute to the happiness of humanity within the concept of missions, without a specific core purpose. Finding answers to such debates is undoubtedly the responsibility of Christian missiologists. However, this study brings together missiologists and management scholars to jointly explore a desirable concept of missions. Missions are fundamentally based on the Bible, engaging in ministry that realizes the work of salvation and operates in the spiritual dimension. At the same time, missions involve fulfilling the Lord's mandate given to the church, making it a task that requires efficient allocation of limited resources such as time, personnel, and funds to achieve maximum results. This study, particularly from a business perspective, evaluates the expanded concept of missions, focusing on business theory and the principles of the value chain. The findings suggest that the expanded concept weakens the core purpose of missions, encompassing both intrinsic and supportive activities, while diluting the intrinsic activities and, consequently, diminishing the efficiency of missions. This research aims to contribute, at least in part, to guiding the direction of Christian missions that is currently navigating through controversy.
