Integrating responsible education principles into a conventional system : The case study of TERI school of advanced studies, India

Business managers are now conscious of the need for environmentally and socially responsible behaviour and that current and future generations of managers should be trained to engage responsibly with different stakeholders. This puts responsible management education in focus, and many institutions worldwide—and initiatives like Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME)—are enhancing communication and bridging the gap between diverse stakeholders.

This chapter discusses a case study of The Energy and Resources Institute School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS) (a PRME affiliate), an institution dedicated to education and research on sustainability in India. It takes an overview of how the university’s initiatives have introduced sustainability into education, along with engagement with stakeholders’ concerns. However, such initiatives may challenge the conventional education system in a developing country, and the chapter overviews these challenges faced by the university, both internal and external, and reports on the way forward for similar institutions in the context of developing countries.​
