Managers are increasingly faced with issues of sustainability, responsibility and ethics. Responsible management is an integrative approach to sustainability, responsibility and ethics, which enables you, as a manager, to deal competently with such challenges. This course will facilitate your learning process to engage in changing practices to make them more sustainable, responsible and ethically informed. First we will present the context of the trend towards responsible management practices (week 1). We then explore the basics of each problem set, sustainability (week 2), responsibility (week 3), and ethics (week 4). In week 5, you will work on your own responsible management topic/task and explore responsible management practices in an area of professional interest (eg. g., strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, organization, operations, supply chain, human resources, marketing and communication, international management, accounting and finance). In week 6 we will try to understand and experience what it means to manage responsibly in practice, including the opportunities and challenges, and with a focus on transformational change. During these last two weeks, you will work in a problem-oriented manner, based on a challenging topic you have encountered in your own management practice. In the course we will form multicultural teams to learn about the problems you raise. The course also facilitates the formation of peer networks that allow you to continue this learning experience after finishing the MOOC. The MOOC is an initiative in collaboration with the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative. General learning outcomes 1) Provide an introduction to the three fields that constitute responsible management: sustainability, responsibility and ethics. 2) To help apply the knowledge and ideas gained from these three fields to real-life problems in your own environment. 3) Identify, understand and facilitate individual action that can lead to change at the organizational and system level... 'to act is to move' 4) Learn to appreciate and bring together different points of view, and negotiate collective solutions to pressing problems. Who is this MOOC for?
