Business Schools in Rising Economies Should Become More Confident

CEEMAN is glad to share with you the recording of an online discussion "Reimagining Management Education in Rising Economies: Towards New Skills and Mindsets", organized on 27 January by the Alliance of Management Development Associations in Rising Economies in partnership with PRME - Principles for Responsible Management Education.

Gathering more than 300 registrations from 71 countries all over the world, the session, co-moderated by CEEMAN President Danica Purg and Head of PRME Mette Morsing, discussed how business schools in rising economies can contribute to rebalancing sustainability and reimagining management education.

In her introduction, Danica Purg noted: “It is important that business schools in rising economies become more self-confident and help contribute to change the meaning of the economic term “growth” by paying more attention to qualitative criteria than to quantitative ones, and fostering holistic understanding of the relevant elements, such as climate, health, sustainability, and social responsibility.”

Inputs by the panel speakers included the following topics:

  • The future of management education and its role in creating a positive impact on society, Danica Purg, President of the Alliance of Management Development Associations in Rising Economies, President of CEEMAN, Slovenia
  • The efforts of PRME in changing management education. What do business schools need to do differently and why does it not happen already? What is hindering us? Mette Morsing, Head of PRME, Denmark/USA
  • What do we mean by reimagining management education and what are the necessary steps to make it happen (skills, competences, experiences)? Jikyeong Kang, PRME Board Member; President and Dean, Asian Institute of Management, Philippines
  • How the inclusivity in thinking will help to solve the problems of the future? Therese Noorlander, Sustainability Director Europe, The Coca-Cola Company, Netherlands
  • How can you work on changing the mindsets? Arnold Smit, Head: PGDip in Leadership Development, Associate Professor, Business in Society, University of Stellenbosch Business School, South Africa
