We\u2019ve just published our <\/em>third report<\/em><\/a> to the United Nations Principle of Responsible Management Education <\/em>(PRME)<\/em><\/a> Initiative. <\/em>Fabian Frenzel<\/em><\/a>, PRME Officer and Lecturer in the Political Economy of Organisation, explains why.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Leicester Model<\/a> emphasises an interdisciplinary, holistic and critical view upon management education. Our research, teaching and public engagement agendas attempt to expand the academic and practical meaning of management by de-centring the mainstream curriculum\u2019s conventional focus upon large scale for-profit organisations. For almost a decade now, we at the School have shared PRME\u2019s desire to both contribute towards and help formulate a world which is characterised less by managerial scandals and more by equitable and sustainable ways of living together.\u00a0 We\u2019re delighted to be able to keep this relationship going.<\/p>\n

Since our last report<\/a> we have increased our engagement with PRME significantly. The major new commitment is for us to have established an academic lead on PRME matters \u2013 yours truly. I\u2019ve been keeping myself busy both within and beyond the University, as the most recent report indicates.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been involved in overseeing the management of a research project concerning student perceptions of the state of management education here in the School. I\u2019ve also played a part in developing more opportunities for co-operation between the School and university, particularly with the University\u2019s Environmental Team<\/a>. This relationship grants an important role to student engagement and participation. We can, for example, now boast of a recently piloted dissertation project, that aims to reduce waste in the library cafeteria. The student in question benefitted from funding made available by the environmental team through their new SEED Fund<\/a>. In the near future, an additional series of student led sustainability projects will become better integrated into aspects of the School\u2019s curriculum \u2013 the research dissertation in particular.<\/p>\n

Beyond the University, we\u2019ve continued helping businesses, labour unions and third sector organisations within the local community in their endeavours towards equitable and sustainable practices. The report, for example, detailsthe cooperation between Matthew Higgins<\/a> and the Leicester charity Giving World<\/a>. I\u2019ve also been able to do a lot more work within the PRME community, both globally and in the context of the regional UK-Ireland chapter. I\u2019ve played a hand in the action group on poverty reduction<\/a>, for example, as well as participating within and contributing towards the group\u2019s regular meetings.<\/p>\n

For more information on the School\u2019s commitments to PRME, please have a look at the report<\/a>: it both details the many initiatives we\u2019ve been involved in while, I hope, also helping spur more collaboration into emergence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
