Stop Teaching: Principles and Practices For Responsible Management Education
No full textWhat do we need to change in order to develop a new generation of business leaders who connect profits with purpose, who see in social entrepreneurship and innovation the key opportunity for addressing our planetary challenges? The answer lies in the contents we select to teach, in the values we invite to explore and develop, and in the methods we use. In the era of 24/7 global access to information from our mobile gadgets, many institutions of higher education are still sitting students in rows or amphitheaters, measuring success via tests and evaluations, with instructors lecturing what students should learn. And instructors feel the challenge of competing with sleepy audiences that divide their attention between their cell phones and the speaker. Stop teaching, the author says, inviting instructors in management schools and higher education to adopt some proven learning principles that can reengage students, unleash their potentials, and foster them to shape the world they want to live in. And have fun doing it. Through adult learning research, guides, activities, and stories from pioneering learning facilitators in education and corporate training, Rimanoczy brings a long-needed revamp to educational institutions that want to be part of responsible management education
What Do You Do With Your Time?
No full textWhat if we were tasked with making a difference, so that our time on this planet leaves it better than we found it? Rimanoczy has researched leaders who champion initiatives that have made a positive impact on the world, hoping to find ways to actively develop a new generation of responsible, purposeful leaders. The surprise: the solution is about the knowing, the being, and the doing. It is about connecting head with heart and hands, and connecting spiritual and emotional intelligence with action.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/tedxnsu/1020/thumbnail.jp

Daughter of fortune: Isabel Allende's popularity from a readership perspective
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is to explore and critically interrogate Isabel Allende’s popularity cross-culturally in Britain and Spain. It analyses readers’ responses to Allende’s works as well as the discourses surrounding her public representation, an approach that is ‘readerly’ but must also take account of production and text. This approach is intended to further the understanding of Allende’s work which so far has always been analysed from a textual perspective. However, the relationship between Allende’s popularity, her texts, public representation and readers has not been yet analysed in detail.This thesis is innovative in other ways too. Methodologically, it approaches readers through the under studied cultural form of the reading group. It also incorporates a comparative dimension by looking at the reception of Allende in two different cultural contexts: the British and Spanish respectively. Finding out about Allende’s popularity has involved asking readers about their reading experiences as well as analysing the production of discourses around her public representation. Paul Ricoeur’s (1984, 1988) perspective on authorial intentions and readers’ responses to texts helps in understanding the intricacies surrounding what is involved in reading any text. It draws attention to Allende’s and her publishers’ authorial strategies, her ‘strategies of persuasion’ and the specificity of the lives and contexts of British and Spanish reading publics. Equally, this ‘readerly’ approach draws on feminist audience research and primarily on the work of Ien Ang and Janice Radway. Their work with viewers and readers respectively is particularly useful in establishing and developing methodological parameters for the study of reading groups. As a whole, this thesis contributes to the understanding of Allende’s cross-cultural popularity by situating readers at the centre
The sustainability zine: The value of art-based pedagogy to support education for sustainability in a creative business and management course
No full textThis chapter explores some of the opportunities, challenges and wide benefits that art-based pedagogy offers to support education for sustainability, in the Integrated Foundation in Business and Management for the Creative Industries course at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA). It shares the process and reflections of the Sustainability Zine assignment completed as part of a Materials, Models, Mindsets project that started with exploring the Zine special collection at UCA. Zines are a form of radical self-publishing, derived from the word Fanzine. Zines often challenge convention, presenting alternative personal perspectives, they generate a sense of empowerment and community among readers and creators. Intended learning outcomes included: creating a Zine using Adobe InDesign, evidence of critical analysis, evaluation and reflection, through independent research into the circular economy, greenwashing, and sustainable business case studies. In this chapter I demonstrate that using art-based pedagogy in creative business teaching, that includes authentic portfolio assessment, developing critical analysis skills and self-reflection, offers opportunities for engagement and developing knowledge in sustainability and ethics. This chapter notes the importance of mindset development at the foundation level. It recognises that developing a sustainability mindset is as important for students as skills development. I highlight the potential impact this project and mindset has for students’ future study and for creating a more sustainable world

A Matter of Being: Developing Sustainability-minded Leaders
Full text linkIn a world that is in need of more individuals acting with the social and environmental impact of their decisions in mind, what would it take to develop sustainability-minded leaders? This article shares the findings of a qualitative descriptive exploratory study where 16 leaders championing sustainability initiatives were interviewed in order to learn from them, understand what information played a role in their actions, how they thought, and what motivated or inspired them to act in a “business-as-unusual” way. In this article, the results of the original study are briefly summarized, and new findings related to the particular role spirituality played for these business leaders are presented. Following the innovative approach of this journal in addressing the question “now what?”, this author then provides suggestions for adult educators, corporate trainers, and coaches on how they could develop the sustainability mindset by incorporating activities that engage the higher self of the audience
A critical examination of the assumptions, beliefs and ethical considerations that underlie business models of global poverty reduction
No full textAs part of the process of globalization, business models and approaches are being developed that aim to both create profits for the participating companies and reduce poverty. These models include BoP (Base of the Pyramid), Inclusive Business and Business with the Base of the Pyramid. This chapter will focus on the base of the pyramid approach as it is the most widely known and is being adopted by important agencies such as the Inter-American Development Bank as its focus. This chapter will aim to identify and look critically at the underlying assumptions and beliefs behind this model. In so doing, it will further examine the ethical considerations that are at the root of this approach. Having identified key ethical considerations, a number of interviews will be conducted with people involved in these initiatives in three different Latin American countries focusing on how they have dealt with these ethical issues in practice. The data collected from these real cases will provide input for analysis. Using the ethical framework constructed in the chapter, three case studies will be offered by conducting interviews with people working in this field in different Latin American countries. © 2012, IGI Global
Humanismo y Reforma en la corte renacentista de Isabel de Vilamarí : Escipión Capece y sus lectoras
No full textDurante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y en la corte salernitana del último príncipe de la casa Sanseverino y de su esposa, Isabel de Vilamarí (noble señora de origen catalán) se desarrolló un intenso clima intelectual. Allí se congregaron artistas y humanistas italianos y españoles. En este ambiente de intercambio cultural, atento en participar en las ideas de la Reforma que se difundió en Nápoles gracias a B. Ochino y a Valdés, nace el poema De principiis rerum del último académico pontaniano: Escipión Capece. En esta obra no sólo se rastrean motivos lucrecianos y virgilianos sino también el influjo de los tratados cosmológicos de Pontano. En este estudio, la autora propone el análisis de la figura y de la obra de Capece a través de sus lectoras: Isabel de Vilamarí y las mujeres cultas de su corte.During the first half of sixteenth century and in the Salernitan court of the last prince Sanseverino and his wife Isabel de Vilamarí (a lady coming from a noble Catalan family) an intense intellectual climate developed. Italian and Spanish artists and humanists met there. In this environment of cultural exchange, that shared in the Reform ideas divulged in Naples by B. Ochino and Valdés, Scipione Capece (the last member of the Pontanian Academy) writes his poem De principiis rerum. In his book Capece uses Latin literature (Vergil and Lucretius mainly) and Pontano's treatises on cosmology. The author of this paper studies Scipione Capece through his female readership: Isabel de Vilamarí and the learned women from her court
