| Corporate Citizenship and Management Education: Steering Between Modern and Post-Modern |
| Presenter | Foppen, J. Wil | Erasmus U., Rotterdam | wfoppen@rsm.nl | 31-10-4082011 |
| | The central theme of the 1999 Academy of Management Annual Meeting is "Change and Development Journeys into a
Pluralistic World." This symposium will focus on change and development needed within management education to prepare
managers for their roles as global corporate citizens in a pluralistic world. Significant new developments in curriculum,
content, and pedagogy are needed in management education to incoporate the pluralistic face of global citizenship.
Externalities, political and economic changes, technological developments, global social, ethical, and quality standards
(among others), and the needs of civil society place significant pressures on the current management education paradigm.
To cope with the dynamism and "multiplexity" of a globalized world, management educators need a broader perspective on
the roles, purposes, and functions of businesses as global citizens--and of management itself. Unless managers and
management educators understand the consequences of decisions on diverse societies, social and ecological conditions
will likely continue to feel the impacts of externalized costs and decisions. Further, unless the incentives for both managers
and businesses are reframed at the societal level and in management education programs, the emphasis on efficiency
and growth with little regard to consequences is unlikely to change. This symposium will address changes that are possible
in management education to develop managers as global citizens through: 1) a European and process-oriented lens,
2) internationalizing an American management program, 3) developing global citizens through executive education, and
4) developing global principles and standards. |
