Abstract
A louder call
Over a decade ago, the United Nations’ established the Principles of Responsible Management
Education (PRME) initiative to prompt a radical overhaul of how responsibility, ethics and
sustainability are treated in higher education, particularly in relation to the business,
management and organisation studies fields (Wall, 2017). By 2017, although there are now a
range of radical responses available (Akrivou and Bradbury-Huang, 2015; Wall and Jarvis,
2015; Wall, 2016; Wall, Bellamy, Evans, Hopkins, 2017; Wall, Hindley, Hunt, Peach, Preston,
Hartley and Fairbank, 2017; Wall, Russell, Moore, 2017; Wall, Clough, Österlind, Hindley,
2018), evidence suggests that little as has changed on a global or even national scale
(Wall, Hindley, Hunt, Peach, Preston, Hartley and Fairbank, 2017), and there remain urgent
calls at the highest levels of the United Nations for higher education to help promote
responsibility, ethics and sustainability in education (UNESCO, 2016; Wall, 2018).
