Business Schools, Leadership and Sustainable Development Goals: The
Future of Responsible Management Education 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.
