To radicalising the space of RME, it is a common reflection that business schools’ curricula must be fundamentally reimagined. In traditional models, the primary emphasis was frequently placed on profit-driven strategies, while the wider social and environmental implications were deemed less important, if not ignored. 

In the future, the curriculum, and even the programme (bachelors, masters, doctorates) titles and names, should include classes that focus on topics such as ethical leadership, sustainable business practices, and corporate social responsibility as the backbone of all taught courses. Additionally, the lifelong learning component and online learning also must be enhanced to accompany the future leaders in their managerial development journey.

About the RMER Conference

Responsible Management Education (RME) has evolved over the years as a response to a shifting global landscape and the realisation that business education must align itself with broader societal needs. The Seven Principles of UN PRME set the framework for questioning if we are on the right pathway. Although laudable efforts have been made by the RME community, progress is still too slow and does not go deep enough.

It is important for the business education community to understand how can we better study, understand, and generate a more radical RME that generates responses that break with the old-established business-school-as-usual framework. Instead, we must focus on radical actions that correspond to the depth of the social, environmental, and economic challenges we are facing.
