Principles of Business & Management: Practicing Ethics, Responsibility, Sustainability.

The article reviews the third edition of "Principles of Business & Management: Practicing Ethics, Responsibility, Sustainability" by Oliver Laasch, highlighting its role in addressing the urgent need for responsible business education amid social and environmental crises. This textbook, endorsed by the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Management Education initiative, aims to mainstream ethics, responsibility, and sustainability across all business curricula, rather than confining these topics to specialized courses. The review notes the book's accessible content, innovative chapters on contemporary issues like digitalization, and its potential to inspire both students and educators towards transformational leadership in management. However, it also raises questions about the readiness of business schools to fully integrate such comprehensive approaches into their programs. [Extracted from the article]
