Finance at business schools: The challenges of teaching and learning sustainable finance
- 2019
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Sustainable finance is a major research area for scholars concerned with new societal challenges. However, although business education also falls within the scope of societal challenges, little is known on how sustainable finance is being taught to future investors, and more largely financiers. As we are currently carrying out an on-going research program with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education on finance curricula at top business schools, we identify here the main challenges for teaching – and consequently learning- sustainable finance. In particular, we propose a dedicated research protocol to control for finance programs’ hidden curriculum and significant learning by business students.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication and small and medium sized enterprises : The governmentality dilemma of explicit and implicit CSR communication

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Businesses that promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) through their supply chains by requiring their suppliers to report on and otherwise communicate their CSR are doing a great thing, aren’t they? In this article, we challenge this assumption by focusing on the impact on small and medium sized enterprise (SME) suppliers when their large customer firms pressurize them to make their implicit CSR communication more explicit. We expose a ‘dark side’ to assumed improvements in CSR reporting within a supply chain. We present a conceptual framework that draws on previous research on communication constitutes organization (CCO) theory, implicit and explicit CSR, and Foucault’s governmentality. We identify and discuss the implications of three resulting dilemmas faced by SMEs: authenticity commercialization, values control and identity disruption. The overarching contribution of our article is to extend theorizing on CSR communication and conceptual research on CSR in SME suppliers (small business social responsibility). From a practice and policy perspective, it is not ultimately clear that promoting CSR reporting among SMEs will necessarily improve socially responsible practice.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This study raises the question of how managers can adopt appropriate management control systems to communicate to employees and other stakeholders what behavior is desired, and how they can work to ensure that their corporate sustainability claims are implemented at the operational level. That is, how can organizations demonstrate that their sustainability declarations are not just “good looks”. Specifically, the study unfolds Novo Nordisk’s long-term commitment to sustainable practices and the company’s validation of these practices by focusing on how issues of sustainability have been integrated and cascaded throughout the entire organisation via the company’s “Way of Management”.
