The curriculum of the Master of Arts in Responsible Management (MRM) is composed of various seminars that are classified as either General Management (GM) or Responsible Management (RM) seminars. Enrolled students are provided with detailed information regarding the content and schedule of each seminar.
Today’s managers must concern themselves with ethical issues in order to minimize legal risks and damage to their businesses and protect their employees and consumers. A foundation in the historical, philosophical and cultural aspects of ethical corporate behavior prepares leaders in every industry to deal with the situations that inevitably arise, and that do not always have easy answers. More than ever, consumers and investors expect integrity and ethical behavior from the companies they buy from and support.
A successful and sustainable business means more than financial results. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a company’s business model, which aims to embrace responsibility for the company’s actions. An effective CR policy guides a company’s voluntary actions and results in positive impact through a business’ activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, and other stakeholders.
The separate seminars of Human Rights Management and Compliance Management are delivered together as a single module in Corporate Responsibility Management II.
The relationship between human rights and business is as complex as it is controversial. There is no doubt that business has a serious impact on human rights, historically more adverse than beneficial, but what should the obligations of business to protect human rights be? This seminar of Human Rights Management is designed to foster lively discussions and thought-provoking ideas in respect to your future actions as business leaders.
Compliance is of significance for each and every company as a successful and sustainable business means more than financial results. Many enterprises still lack the expertise and sensitivity of the importance and meaning of Compliance. Breaches of the law and illegal irregular behavior very often have unpleasant consequences: severe penalties and negative reputation are to be expected. Yet, Compliance and implementing a compliance management is the ideal way to avoid this.
The effects of a changing climate have already begun to impact society and business alike. Forward thinking companies are tackling this and other issues of environmental sustainability in their business models in order to build more resilient organizations. This seminar combines a conceptual review of the relationships between business, environment and society with an applied examination of the various approaches to managing environmental issues as part of corporate responsibility. The seminar is given by two lecturers exploring different, but related, sub-topics of Environmental Sustainability. Examine two of the central issues to Environmental Sustainability within the business context: climate change at both the EU and international level & sustainable economic growth.
You do not need to have “sustainability” or “Corporate Responsibility” in your job title to affect an organization’s social or environmental impact. In fact, roles in traditional departments like HR, Marketing, Finance and Operations are full of opportunities for applying Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles, and often have the most influence over the way a business operates. For a business to be truly responsible, CR must be implemented throughout the organizational structure. This seminar takes an in-depth look at how to identify and implement responsible management principals through any job function and at every level. Examine two of the central issues to Environmental Sustainability within the business context: climate change at both the EU and international level & sustainable economic growth.
Without implementation no good idea can be realized. Having effective project management skills is crucial to any role, in every industry. A good project manager maximizes resources, streamlines processes, controls costs and delivers results. Entrepreneurship involves an altogether different skill set, but is also extremely valuable to leaders in business. Social Entrepreneurship, in particular, is a relatively new and inspiring concept. Unlike traditional entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurs work to generate “social value” rather than profits. This is a joint seminar showing the linkages between successful project management and entrepreneurial skills.
