“…These managers must have a very developed sense of ethics and justice. Business schools want to be the best training source of these new, ethical, and globally responsible business leaders (Librizzi and Parkes, 2020;Parkes et al, 2020). IE Business School (Spain), is the institution that shows more efforts in projects related to Goal 16.…”

“…Business schools strives for competitive strategies based on sustainable management and ethics which will have a positive impact in the society in terms of academic, economic and societal values and improve their legitimacy ( Ojala, 2019 ). They are focusing their efforts on several aspects which may be linked with the UN Sustainable Development Goals ( Christ and Burritt, 2019 ; Laasch et al., 2020 ; Parkes et al., 2020 ; Trkman, 2019 ). We carried out a content analysis of the Sustainability Reports of the top business schools according to the “2016 Global MBA Financial Times Ranking” using the “17 UN Sustainable Development Goals” as analysis.…”

“…Besides that, business schools are defining a new responsible and sustainable research agenda, focusing on solving important global issues as emerging countries' economy development or responsible goods and energy consumption and productions. The research outputs aimed to solve important global issues are very much appreciated by the corporate environment and the society in general, improving business school's legitimacy ( Beddewela et al., 2017 ; Parkes et al., 2020 ; Trkman, 2019 ). That implies that researchers are invited not just to study relevant topics for the sustainable development, but also to transfer this knowledge to the business community and the publics in general, using a comprehensible and understandable language.…”

An organization acquires legitimacy when it operates in an appropriate and desirable manner, satisfying the stakeholders' needs and expectations. Stakeholders claim to business schools sustainable and responsible management, knowledge transfer and research. In the last years, business schools adopted Corporate Social Responsibility as guideline of an integrated and holistic approach for their legitimation process. The aim of this research is to understand how business schools are reacting to the criticism that affects them and how they are reshaping their strategies in order to fulfill stakeholders' expectations, and to confirm which UN Sustainable Development Goals are the most cited in the sustainability reports of the best business schools in the world. We perform a content analysis of the latest sustainability reports published by the top 50 business schools, analyzing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. We highlight that business schools focus social responsibility strategies mainly to define the professional standards to train future leaders qualified to manage organizations with a social, economic and environmental positive impact for all the stakeholders and capable to shape a better world.

“…The RML field has gone through phases of explicit and institutionalized problematization and co-definition of responsible management as the field's object. For instance, the initial UN Principles for Responsible Management Education's task force defined fostering responsible management as its purpose (Alcaraz and Thiruvattal 2010;Escudero et al 2012;PRME 2007b), which later on was connected closely to complex problems related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Parkes et al 2018;Storey et al 2017). Interdisciplinarity in responsible management is primarily the integration between its three constitutive disciplines of ethics, responsibility, and sustainability (ERS) (Forray and Leigh 2012;Laasch and Conaway 2015;Rasche and Gilbert 2015).…”

Constellations of Transdisciplinary Practices: A Map and Research Agenda for the Responsible Management Learning Field

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The emerging field of responsible management learning is characterized by an urgent need for transdisciplinary practices. We conceptualize constellations of transdisciplinary practices by building up on a social practice perspective. From this perspective, knowledge and learning are 'done' in interrelated practices that may span multiple fields like the professional, educational, and research field. Such practices integrate knowledge across disciplines (interdisciplinarity) and sectors (intersectorality) in order to learn to enact, educate, and research complex responsible management. Accordingly, constellations of collaborative transdisciplinary practices span the three layers of the responsible management field: Professional responsible management, responsible management education, and responsible management research. We apply this framework to map both recent responsible management learning publications and contributions to this special issue. We notice that although the responsible management field's aspiration for transdisciplinarity is high the degree to which it has been realized is low. This results in our proposal for a research agenda, which points out impediments to transdisciplinary, and research directions for the responsible management learning field. We also highlight theoretical implications of our conceptual framework for the larger transdisciplinarity discussion.

The following mentions are people who contributed to this work and, in a broader perspective, to my academic career in the past two years. I therefore thank:My twin daughters, Bárbara and Helena, for the time spent developing this work several times deprived me of the sweetness of their coexistence: I hope that one day you will forgive your father and understand my reasons. You are my intergenerational motivation: my reason for leaving something better for the world and, at the same time, my "outstanding something better" for the world. If there is any way to categorize love in this world, it would be the way I feel when you hug my neck so tightly and laugh so loosely nestled in my chest.My mother, Izilda, and to the mother of my daughters, Cristiana: none can work full time, be a father and develop so many research activities without support; at least I am sure I couldn't. My deeds are yours as well; thanks for the love, friendship, and all the "logistics." Some things change; others never do, and I am therefore lucky to have you as my family.Luciana, for being an educator in the lato sensu: offering me a flawless academic supervision and a guidance that consistently increased my level of excellence, clarity, tranquility, and motivation. Thank you also for the life relationship, which goes way beyond academic outputs: you were my supervisor, boss, friend, and sister throughout these years. Thanks for trusting me when I could not. Thanks for embracing such a daunting task of rescuing me from the darkness and the numb when none else could, on so many occasions.Lara: 10 years ago, the first time you entered as a teacher in my bachelor's classes, I could never imagine that our paths would cross again in my career, and I am glad they did.
