Business Schools Leadership and the Sustainable Development Goals

<p><em>Business Schools, Leadership and Sustainable Development Goals: The Future of Responsible Management Education</em> is the sixth book in the series Citizenship and Sustainability in Organizations. It contains chapters from various scholars and practitioners in the field of responsible management education (RME). Through introspection, through celebrating successes and learning from failures (retrospection) and through looking forward (prospection), it aims to inspire a future of management education and leadership development that demonstrates its relevance to sustainable development. In doing so, it touches upon the grand societal challenges of our time, as illustrated by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and discusses how business schools, and other providers of management education, could and should contribute to overcoming these challenges. It argues that management education needs to educate future leaders in a way that no longer hampers but truly accelerates the process of sustainable development. This book offers a collection of thought-provoking ideas, vivid stories (including personal accounts and experiences), and appealing and engaged forecasts, visions and ideas about management education and leadership development for sustainability. Hence, it is a must-read for anyone interested in or involved in RME.</p> <p>Introduction Part I: Visions and responses Chapter 1: The responsible management education paradox: Applying the conceptual lens of organizational ambidexterity Chapter 2: Emotional competency in the interdisciplinary classroom: A systems thinking perspective Chapter 3: Managing emotions in responsible management education courses and promoting the leadership of the Sustainable Development Goals Chapter 4: Shaping sustainability leadership from the start: Educating for sustainable development in undergraduate business and management programmes Part II: Critical and personal reflections Chapter 5: Balancing the scales: Changing perceptions of gender stereotypes among students in a PRME champion business school Chapter 6: Between criticism and optimism: The derailment and rehabilitation of business schools Chapter 7: Reflections of an engaged marketing scholar: An SDG-guided journey towards being a ‘called professional’ Part III: Creative pedagogies and assessments Chapter 8: The use of news articles as a pedagogical tool for responsible management education Chapter 9: Supporting transformation towards sustainable development: The use of Appreciative Inquiry in responsible management education Chapter 10: Applying authentic assessment to teaching the Sustainable Development Goals Chapter 11: Matters of measuring: Student learning and success in sustainability education</p>
