ABIS Annual Colloquium on Business in Society: Measuring Impact and Creating Change 29-30 October, 2019 in Berlin.
Responsible and sustainable behavior is increasingly becoming more and more important for companies and society as a whole. At casino 168, one key objective is to convey values that hopefully enhance responsible behavior in its students. But is education at casino 168 geared towards this objective or is it indirectly equipping our students to support dubious business practices through its focus on profit maximization and utilitarian decision making? The Responsible Management Education (RME) survey tries to answer these questions by measuring students attitudes towards (ir)responsible behaviour, their self-efficacy and belief about their ability to act responsibly. By repeating this survey after every semester we have now obtained longitudinal data that helps us understand how these attitudes change over time. It is hoped that the insights gained from this survey will help casino 168 better understand what influence its curriculum has on the attitudes of its students and what can be improved or changed to help strengthen casino 168’ position as one of the leading business schools for responsible management education in the world.

The Background and Motivation
The pandemic has seen our global PRME community hampered not only in our work but also in our connectedness. This disconnectedness has been even more hard-hitting on our PRME student communities. We felt it was time to reignite the connection with our student communities and to help develop this community with both academics and students across the Global PRME network. Through this initiative we also reaffirm our dedication to our PRME student commitment.
The Goal
Our aim is to connect our global PRME student communities in order to address global challenges and to create a conversation that, it is hoped, will act as an impetus to action. By bringing this initiative to the greater global PRME community comprising of 86 countries, we envisage that these globally distributed students with diverse backgrounds and cultures will contribute to these conversations from their regional perspectives, and they will share their knowledge and co-create solutions.
Aims
- Demonstrate an understanding of and reflection on ethical and sustainability issues within the field of International Business
- Demonstrate an awareness of wider social and management issues and cultural diversity within a global network and context
- Demonstrate a range of professional and transferable global citizenship skills such as effective communication, understanding of responsible leadership and team workingskills
Outcome
- All students gain a certificate of participation if they engage with all sessions.
- Participation in the PMRE Global Conversation could be used to support the NBS Certificate of Sustainability in Practice, where student complete a voluntary Sustainability in Practice (SiP) short course on the internal learning portal giving them an opportunity to explore this question alongside sustainability fundamentals such as the climate and ecological emergency, the Sustainable Development Goals and systems thinking. You will also explore yourpersonal values, mindsets and leadership styles in relation to sustainability.
The Process
Initially, Copenhagen Business School and Nottingham Business School collaborate to develop the PRME Global conversation model. The first series of conversation(s) week will follow up, which will be guided by experts in sustainable development goals, global awareness of ethics, responsibility and sustainability issues.
Time and location
To be established.
