Call for Attendance - <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename> Meeting in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Anaheim</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">CA</st1:state></st1:place>

All-Academy Professional Development Workshop (PDW)

Implementing the Principles for Responsible

Management Education (PRME) – The Questions

We Have Not Asked (Yet)

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 <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Geneva</st1:place></st1:city>, 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 are 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.

Format: The All-Academy PDW consists of brief presentations and moderated

roundtable discussions.
