The cascading effect of globalization in the form of changing
business environment, economic uncertainties and economic meltdown
have brought about a plethora of unprecedented challenges before
industry and organizations across the globe in recent years.
Management education which prepares human capital for the industry
jobs is expected to address these challenges along with
intensifying competition, advancing technology, increasing
workforce diversity and accelerating complexity. But the current
management education is largely based on traditional capitalism
where the focus is on profits and competitiveness rather than on a
balance among profitability, social accountability and
sustainability. The corporate scandals, scams and global meltdown
and their repercussions on people, organizations, and countries in
this interconnected world have created a compelling case for
rethinking of management education. Consequently, management
education in general and MBA education, in particular, need to
adopt a paradigm shift in its knowledge generating (research)
system, knowledge dissemination (teaching/training) system and
knowledge utilization (learning/consulting/industry projects)
system to be responsible and sustainable. Globalization has made
the managerial role transnational where managers work, interact or
conduct business with people across geographies; therefore, every
manager needs to have knowledge of internationally recognized
standards/practices to be able to conduct business with
responsibility. This textbook Managing for Responsibility provides
an alternative paradigm for management education written from an
academic as well as practitioners' perspective.
