Thematic Group:
Ethics, Sustainability and Accountability
News
Please see Seminars for details of research events organised by the group from autumn 2010.
On 6 June 2011, scholars from the School of Management's Ethics, Sustainability and Accountability theme group met together in their first annual gathering. They were joined by colleagues from other theme groups as well as visitors to the Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR), colleagues from the Department of Social Anthropology and colleagues from beyond the University to debate where the leading edge of research for sustainability and organisations might be. In addition, the UN's initiative on Principles for Responsible Management Education (see http://www.unprme.org/ and "School endorses PRME") was discussed. Furthermore, considerable debate about how to engage with practice and how research results might be communicated outside of academic circles emerged with a focus on thinking how to move from a knowledge transmission to a co-creation approach – drawing from the expertise of the Knowledge and Practice theme group.
