PRME principles

PRME is under a UN initiative. PRME stands for Principles for Responsible Management Education. Here are the six PRME six principles

Principle 1 | Purpose: We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy.

• 
  Principle 2 | Values: We will incorporate into our academic activities and curricula the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact.
  

• 
  Principle 3 | Method: We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership.
  

• 
  Principle 4 | Research: We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
  

• 
  Principle 5 | Partnership: We will interact with managers of business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges.
  

• 
  Principle 6 | Dialogue: We will facilitate and support dialog and debate among educators, students, business, government, consumers, media, civil society organisations and other interested groups and stakeholders on critical issues related to global social responsibility and sustainability.
  

We understand that our own organisational practices should serve as example of the values and attitudes we convey to our students.

De La Salle University a school for the poor a presentation at Fourth Regional PRME forum by Br. Michael Broughton

Fourth Regional PRME Forum, APS Auditorium, Rockwell, Makati City  November 15 2013

                                         Br. Michael Broughton of De La Salle University

Bro Michael Broughton, a Singaporean, Vice Chancellor for Mission of De la Salle made a strong case for the mission and vision of the university, namely it is the school for the poor. He said that there is a sense of contradiction that the school serves for the poor, but it does not mean it does not serve the god of excellence.

However, I was waiting for the SMART details on why is school for the poor.  The only thing I saw coming was having 20% of its students as scholars. And its practice of reflection (used by Catholics vs spread of Communism in Europe) Aside from the scholars project, the social enterprise programs of at least 3 schools  at Loyola, the immersion programs, is something that even NUS want to emulate and benchmark, we are forced to state.

Michael Go did a better job of explaining how he helped the poor farmers.

4th Regional Responsible Management Forum in Asia at AGSB

The dean texted me yesterday that there will be a PRME forum to be held at the APS Auditorium 9 am to 5pm from November 14 to 15 (that will be tomorrow until Friday) on Responsible Management Education.  It will be sponsored by Ateneo, AIM and DLSU.  The title of the Forum is 4th PRME Regional Forum in Asia:  Sustainable Business for Common Good - Preparing Asian Business Leaders for Today and Tomorrow"

Here is the complete text of the announcement:

UPDATE: In spite of the recent storm that devastated many areas of the Philippines, the 4th PRME Asia Forum will still take place on 14-15 November, as scheduled.

We invite you to join the Global Compact in supporting the relief effort.

We are pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 4th PRME Regional Forum Asia, "Sustainable Business for the Common Good: Preparing Asia’s business leaders of today and tomorrow,” which will be hosted by the De La Salle University Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business, in collaboration with the Asian Institute of Management and Ateneo Professional Schools, in Manila, the Philippines, on 14-15 November. 

In the current academic environment, corporate responsibility and sustainability have entered but not yet become embedded in the mainstream of business-related education. PRME is therefore a timely global call for business schools and universities worldwide to gradually adapt their curricula, research, teaching methodologies, and institutional strategies to the new business challenges and opportunities.
The main goals of the 4th PRME Regional Forum Asia include:

1. To follow through the commitment discussed during the first three PRME Asia meetings;
2. To strengthen the Asia PRME network, to establish the Asia Chapter, to organise the core group of the Asia Chapter;

3. To deepen the understanding of responsible management education in the Asian context:

   a. Identify what we have in common;

   b. Share and agree what can be done together;

   c. Present and discuss leading edge models and approaches to management education; and

4. To encourage networking and build links among the delegates for possible collaborative projects.

Kindly register here. For more information, please visit the event webpage, where you will find a copy of the agenda and address questions about the meeting here.
The 1st PRME Regional Forum Asia was hosted by Kyung Hee University School of Management, the 2^nd PRME Regional Forum Asia was hosted by the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, and the 3^rd PRME Regional Forum Asia was hosted by Keio University.

We look forward to seeing you in Manila in November!
