WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL COMMITMENT TO PRME

In 2008 Waikato Management School took the opportunity to step up as one of the founding signatories of the Principles of Responsible Management Education – PRME.

Waikato Management School made sustainability in all its dimensions a key component of its purpose in 2004. Becoming a signatory of PRME reinforced this commitment. For us, the PRME principles aligned with the journey we have taken and the path we imagined for the future. In 2014 we remain committed to this vision.

Management education must have a purpose. It must not only benefit individuals and the business community as worthwhile management education also serves the public good, is contextually relevant and holistic and addresses contemporary challenges of the region, the nation and the world. Worthwhile management education helps us address the economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges of our age and assists business, government and third sector leaders to become part of the solution and not part of the problem.

The Waikato Management School seeks to live the principles of PRME through the management education it provides, the impact of its research excellence and its service contributions. In this report we highlight some of our contributions to the achievement of the principles over the 2011 to 2013 period.

I trust all who read this will learn from us and provide feedback so that we might better fulfil the aspirations of PRME.

IntroductionINTRODUCTION FROM THE WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATOR

The Waikato Management School Sustainability Committee was formed to ensure the sustainability activities we engage in relating to teaching, research and operations are transparent to internal and external stakeholders. The Sustainability Committee follows best practice of organisations engaged in sustainability, that is, to bring together stakeholders from a variety of levels within the organisation to “connect the dots,” to leverage current activities and set priorities for additional ones.

The Sustainability Committee’s first step was to expand the number of stakeholders at the table. New members of the committee include Professor Kathryn Pavlovich, responsible for sustainability research, Professor Debashish Munshi, responsible for teaching and learning and Professor Alison McIntosh and Dr Cheryl Cockburn-Wootten responsible for community engagement. Each of these members lead a team dedicated to their particular area.

Looking to the future, the Sustainability Committee has an ambitious agenda. We are organising a university-wide Sustainability Forum to be held early in 2015, which will provide an overview of our sustainability research and highlight opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. On the teaching side, we are introducing a new, undergraduate sustainability qualification that will take a holistic approach by including courses from faculties across the university. In October 2014, we are helping to survey students to ascertain how they think the university is doing from an environmental sustainability perspective, and to measure students’ opinions and behaviour.

Preparing this report has allowed us to acknowledge investments in sustainability that we have made and to sharpen our focus on what we hope to achieve. Waikato Management School’s success is bolstered by its sustainability profile; we look forward to strengthening that brand and creating new opportunities for success.

Waikato Management School Sustainability Coordinator


Principle 1PRINCIPLE 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.

AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL

The Waikato Management School has been instrumental in the development of the University of Waikato approach to sustainability. A Waikato Management School staff member serves on of the University of Waikato Environmental Sustainability Committee.


Principle 1CONTINUED

AT THE FACULTY LEVEL

The Waikato Management School launched a new strategy centred on Connecting, Learning and Transforming. One of its core beliefs is the importance of “Leadership in sustainability research, education and practice”. The School’s 11 core challenges include “to produce leadership contributions in the area of sustainability”. KPIs for the challenges have been set and are regularly monitored.

The Waikato Management School seeks to extend its leadership role in the areas of major sustainability challenges:

SUSTAINABILITY @ WAIKATO (NOW & FUTURE)

» Māori development

» Cultural diversity

» Social well-being

» Environment

» Financial probity and integrity

The School continues to demonstrate its leadership position in the area of sustainability through its research and education activities.

The Sustainability Coordination Group was formed in 2014. The Sustainability Coordination Group is a demonstration of Waikato Management School’s commitment to be distinctive in sustainability and its desire to effectively and credibly continue to integrate sustainability into organisational decision-making and core strategy over time. The purpose of the Sustainability Coordination Group is to organise and focus sustainability activities within the Management School. Membership of the Sustainability Coordination Group includes students and faculty. Roles of the group include; Sustainability Research Coordinator, Teaching and Learning Coordinator and Community Engagement Coordinator.


Principle 2PRINCIPLE 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.

JOINT MBA WITH WAIKATO-TAINUI COLLEGE FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Waikato-Tainui MBA was launched in 2011, developed in association with Waikato-Tainui, the principal Māori iwi of the University’s region. The Waikato MBA programme was contextualised for Māori leaders and takes a progressive approach to business education by fostering Māori values and indigenous ways of doing business. The innovative curriculum of this MBA offers business solutions for more than just Māori to benefit from and it is those relationships we also want to develop.

This MBA programme won the Association of MBAs Innovation Award in 2012 and endorses our commitment to develop future Māori leaders. It shows that our MBA programme is world class, relevant and at the forefront of management thinking.

REVIEW OF THE BACHELOR OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

The Bachelor of Management Studies degree is the largest undergraduate programme of the School. Citizenship, incorporating sustainability, is one of the core learning objectives of this degree. The degree is currently under review and the evaluation panel is reviewing where sustainability is taught throughout the programme.


Principle 2NEW DEGREE

Bachelor of EntrepreneurshipWhile entrepreneurship is primarily associated with the creation of new enterprises, entrepreneurial creative thinking is also part of strategy development within existing organisations. We extend this entrepreneurial skill-set to also include building resilience in times of failure. It is well documented that successful entrepreneurs often have failures, but learn from this process to become successful.

Encouraging entrepreneurship has also been identified by the Waikato Management School International Advisory Board as a key initiative for the School. Hence, strong stakeholder connectivity creates a learning environment that extends beyond the University for regional and national transformational change that can then be extended globally.

CASE STUDIES ON SUSTAINABILITY

Waikato Management School is committed to supporting staff in providing case studies on sustainability and responsible management. Below is an example of one well-recognised case study that was developed:

Collins, E., Kearins, K., Tregidga, H. & Bowden, S. All Good Bananas: Selling the Fairtrade Message, 2013, Runner-up in the Oikos international sustainability case writing competition.

Principle 3PRINCIPLE 3 | METHOD:

We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership.

The strategy for The University of Waikato includes a commitment to: Ensure sustainable practices in all aspects of University activity (Action Six). This is supported by the University of Waikato’s Sustainability Framework that provides a view of the University’s programmes, practices, place and people through a sustainability lens. The ideal is that sustainability threads are emphasised throughout all activities of the University.

The Waikato Management School fully supports the University Strategy, but also incorporates the principles of responsible management and leadership, sustainability and our commitment to Māori in subjects across all areas of teaching. These values are also transmitted through academic publications on how we teach responsible management and sustainability.

WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL LEADING BEST PRACTICE

In 2012 Waikato Management School initiated a University wide session on teaching and sustainability to share experiences and best practice across the university. These teaching development sessions were supported by the University Teaching Development Unit and have become an annual event designed to improve sustainability teaching practice across all University faculties.

SPECIFIC SUBJECTS INCORPORATING RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT

Responsible Management and Sustainability are embedded in our teaching at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level. We continue to refresh, rejuvenate and innovate our educational frameworks, materials and education environment.

For example, in a third year strategy paper on Current Issues in Business, the online simulation Fishbanks: A Renewable Resource Management Simulation developed by the MIT Sloan School of Management has been introduced. Fishbanks is played globally and teaches the concepts of systems, resource constraints and tragedy of the commons.

The following are new subjects introduced or redeveloped since our last report in 2011:

Business and Environmental Sustainability – for Corporate and Executive Education programmes

Economics and the Environment – a new paper offered in interdisciplinary masters programmes

Governance, Sustainability and Ethics – for Corporate and Executive Education programmes

Governance, Sustainability and Indigenous Business Development – as part of an MBA programme

Management and Sustainability – for Corporate and Execution programmes

Sustainable Events Operations and Venue Management – for the Events Specialisation

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Social Innovation New ZealandThis organisation is exploring opportunities to incorporate PRME into its operations. It is currently operating within the University of Waikato. The University of Waikato is working with Massey University (Albany) and The University of Auckland on this initiative.

Capstone Paper Case CompetitionStrategic Management is a capstone paper in the four year Bachelor of Management Studies degree. This paper includes a case competition where a live case related to sustainability is written by staff, integrating sustainability into this core paper. The most recent case was on Nice Blocks, the first Fairtrade popsicles in the New Zealand market.

Capstone Paper: Public Relations CampaignsThis paper is focused on social issues in which students design, plan and implement public relations campaigns as part of their study. In 2012, students implemented campaigns to encourage awareness and discussion around the topic of organ donation. In 2013, students focused their campaigns on poverty in New Zealand. In 2014, campaigns were undertaken to increase the turnout in voter numbers for the New Zealand General Election.



Principle 4PRINCIPLE 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.

One of the key research meta-themes of the Waikato Management School is Social and Sustainable Development. There are fifteen research themes within this area, eight research themes relating to Environmental Sustainability and fifteen themes relating to Corporate Social Responsibility.

Principle 6PRINCIPLE 6 | DIALOGUE:

We will facilitate and support dialogue 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.

REGIONAL INITIATIVES

Associate Professor Eva Collins is part of the Waikato Innovation Sustainability Challenge – cross-sector collaboration with Regional and Local Government to lead innovative solutions to the region and New Zealand’s greatest challenges. Innovation and green growth go hand in hand and there is a shared aspiration (from key players within the innovation ecosystem) in the region to show leadership in this area. A key focus is on stimulating innovative ideas and solutions to regional issues. The initiative has the ability to address national and global sustainability issues.

Professor Frank Scrimgeour was an expert witness for Economic Impact Evidence presented before the Hamilton City Council appointed Commissioners in the matter of The Resource Management Act 1991 and submissions lodged by Tainui Group Holdings Limited to the Proposed Hamilton District Plan.
