Catholic nuns have done much for the business world that is overlooked.
From memory, so no citations:
The first female CEOs were Catholic nuns — in the early 1900's, a time when women in the American workplace was uncommon, Catholic nuns founded over 800 hospitals in the United States. They also ran schools, colleges, and universities.
The concept of just-in-time delivery was invented by nuns running those hospitals.
The first health insurance company was founded in Missouri by nuns to care for railroad workers.
There are others. I once ran across a list of them on the intarwebs, but these are the ones that stuck with me.
