Details: Saturday August 9, 2008, 1:00pm – 3:30pm, Anaheim Convention Center, Room 304C Prior registration is not required!
Presenters & Facilitators: Manuel Escudero (UN Global Compact), Matthew Gitsham (Ashridge), Joshua Margolis (Harvard Business School), Daina Mazutis (Ivey School of Business), Alan Murray (University of Sheffield), Hans van Oosterhout (RSM, Erasmus University), Greg Unruh (Thunderbird), Carolyn Woo (Notre Dame)

Supported by the United Nations Global Compact, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) provide a framework for academic institutions to advance corporate responsibility through the incorporation of universal values into curricula and research. The PRME have been developed by an international task force consisting of 60 deans, university presidents and official representatives of leading business schools. Officially launched at the 2007 Global Compact Leaders Summit in Geneva, the PRME are now in the implementation phase.
This All-Academy PDW will bring together a variety of people from different institutions who have adopted or are considering adopting the PRME, and from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. The objectives of the workshop are twofold. First, the aim is to identify and share the questions that have emerged in the early phases of adopting and beginning to implement the PRME, as well as those answers concerning PRME implementation we already have. Early adopters will be invited to present their experiences and best practices; sharing these experience with others who have just adopted or are considering adopting PRME, facilitating a sharing of experiences and best practices regarding responsible management education. In addition, the PDW will provide a forum for jointly developing innovative solutions to implementing the PRME. Second, considering that every answer is only as good as the questions we ask, the PDW also wants participants to discuss what questions are meaningful when implementing the PRME and which of these questions have not been asked yet.
As the PRME concern teaching and research in all management-related disciplines and are not limited to the area of business ethics or corporate (social) responsibility, this PDW aims to bring together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds and nationalities to explore the cross-disciplinary and international nature of responsible management education. This PDW is necessary and timely since a number of academic institutions have already signed up or are considering signing up to the PRME and thus face the crucial question of implementation.
