The marginalisation of responsible management in business schools: a consideration of future trajectories

Purpose Business schools are vital in promoting responsible management (RM) – a management grounded in ethics and values beneficial to a wide array of stakeholders and overall society. Nevertheless, due to deeply embedded institutional modernistic dynamics and paradigms, RM is, despite its importance, repeatedly marginalised in business school curricula. If students are to engage with RM thinking, then its occlusion represents a pressing issue. Drawing on the United Kingdom (UK) business school context, this paper aims to examine this issue through a framework of institutional theory and consider the role played by (modernistic) institutional accreditation and research assessment processes in marginalisation of RM. Design/methodology/approach This study used an exploratory qualitative research method. Data were collected from 17 RM expert participants from 15 UK business schools that were signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using the six phases of Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. Findings The study identifies a potent institutional isomorphic amalgam resulting in conservative impacts for RM. This dynamic is termed multiple institutional isomorphic marginalisation (MIIM) – whereby a given domain is occluded and displaced by hegemonic institutional pressures. In RM’s case, MIIM operates through accreditation-driven modernistic-style curricula. This leads business schools to a predilection towards “mainstream” representations of subject areas and a focus on mechanistic research exercises. Consequently, this privileges certain activities over RM development with a range of potential negative effects, including social impacts. Originality/value This study fills an important gap concerning the need for a critical, in-depth exploration of the role that international accreditation frameworks and national institutional academic research assessment processes such as the Research Excellence Framework in the UK play in affecting the possible growth and influence of RM. In addition, it uses heterotopia as a conceptual lens to reveal the institutional “mask” of responsibility predominantly at play in the UK business school context, and offers alternative pathways for RM careers.

INVESTIGACIÓN BIOMÉDICA EN CHILE: APRENDIZAJE EN 48 AÑOS DE DIÁLOGO CON LAS PLAQUETAS

Biomedical research in Chile is necessary, it positions us at the limit of knowledge and improves the quality, accreditation and ranking of the academic institutions where it is developed. Its financing requires the political commitment regarding its importance for our country and of academic institutions to create a protective microenvironment for its flourishment. Private companies have consistently increased their contribution to R&D, but understandably, with a smaller presence in biomedicine. Specific competencies of the investigators may be highly useful and decisions regarding introduction of new products and technologies in clinical and laboratory grounds. Despite the remoteness of the major research centers, our work will be relevant if we overcome our objective limitations with creativity and extra effort. These include available resources, considering that the fraction of GDP budget for R&Din OCDE countries is 8 times higher than ours; proficiency in English language is a major problem for many of us; establishing trusting relationships with leading researchers in the field is a pre-requisite to grant our insertion in major scientific societies and for creating international collaborations; eagerly evaluate and use the transiently open windows for research; use the benefits of comparative advantages or unique conditions in Chile that enhance the originality of our studies; as phy­sicians, we have privileged access to patients for descriptive or mechanistic studies, including technical advantages, lower cost, and higher appraisal in scientific journals. We will expand on these considerations in our presentation.

Kebijakan Pemerintah Terhadap Pendidikan Di Indonesia Menuju Perguruan Tinggi Unggul

The purpose of writing this article is to find out the government's policy towards education in Indonesia towards superior universities. This research uses a type of library research. Library research is research carried out by reviewing various journals and related reference books. The results of his research show that achieving accreditation for PTKIN is now an absolute necessity. Because institutional accreditation is a set of assessments that directly evaluates the management and quality of each higher education institution. Since 2020, accreditation assessment for new universities and study programs has been implemented based on 9 criteria, so that in the future the accreditation process for these two study programs will use an assessment system based on 9 criteria. Realizing PTKIN to be able to achieve an A (excellent) accreditation score can be done through a technical management approach to superior PTKIN institutional accreditation. This technical management is the basis for preparing forms and complete documents and the accreditation visitation process. Technical management covers a fairly broad scope. So that ideally technical management is understood comprehensively by higher education administrators. So that institutional accreditation can reach an A (excellent) grade.

Risk based quality management: the way forward to improve quality in medical laboratories

Risk based quality management: the way forward to improve quality in medical laboratories Risk based quality management is not new. Many different standards including CLSI standard EP23-A, ISO 14971, ISO 31000, and ISO 22367 address risk management in laboratories. Risk and safety are addressed in quality management systems, introduced to provide accreditation and recog-nition of health care institutions. Laboratory quality is different from other quality targets as quality of a test report begins and ends with the same indi-vidual; the patient. Therefore, it is a closed loop having direct repercussions to the patient. In addition, medical laboratories are unique in safety as there are biohazards and chemical hazards. When managing laboratories, we should ensure patient safety as the top priority while ensuring safety of the employees and the environment. The latest version of ISO15189:2022 standard emphasises more on safety and risks. The pro-bability of hazards occurring should be under-stood, and the repercussions of a risk should be given consideration. Combining probability of occurrence and repercussions of risks will enable laboratories to prioritise and plan actions. This

The Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Informatics Department Education Laboratory

In preparing for the accreditation of units, study programs, and tertiary institutions to achieve a superior rating, Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta (UAJY) often faces challenges in gathering and accessing the necessary resources. These difficulties stem from the accreditation preparation process, ineffective resource management, a lack of data integration, and restricted resource access. Taking advantage of advancements in information technology, UAJY has adopted the ERP Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to effectively manage the resources within its educational laboratories. These laboratories serve as a vital support unit in fulfilling the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and play a significant role in enhancing the learning process at the university. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a strategic tool that can provide organizations with a competitive edge by synchronizing, integrating, and optimizing data. The implementation of ERP LIMS serves as a solution for better resource management within the UAJY Informatics Department's educational laboratories.

Evaluation of the Quality of Professional Training and Education Under the Standards of Total Quality Management

The total quality management standards in vocational training and education are crucial for reforming the vocational training system to overcome the shortage of skilled labour in the domestic labour market and diversify the country’s income by exporting surplus labour to foreign markets. To support economic growth, especially in priority sectors, it is necessary to adhere to total quality management standards in Vocational Training and Education (used in the process of Institutional and Program Accreditation of educational institutions in Libya and Algeria). The article investigates the compliance of vocational training and education in Algeria with these standards (based on the example of the Center for Vocational Training and Apprenticeship “Ould Cheikh El Arabi” in Relizane). The solution to this research problem is relevant, among other things, because, thanks to regulated state programs in such sectors as construction, public works and agriculture, the Algerian government has allowed construction and contracting companies to hire foreign labour from China, Turkey, Egypt and other countries, which has led to an increase in unemployment in the domestic labour market. That is why it is relevant to identify why the Algerian labour market cannot provide qualified labour to meet the needs of supplier companies and contractors. The study is based on the survey of a random sample of 150 students, 40.43% of the total number of students enrolled at the Centre. To ensure the clarity and coherence of the questionnaire, a preliminary study was conducted with a random selection of 25 students, eliminating linguistic and methodological imbalances. 6 expert reviewers confirmed the validity of the questionnaire content. Reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha test. The questionnaire’s content is structured according to five main criteria contained in the Total Quality Management Standards in Vocational Training and Education, each consisting of a set of indicators and measures to assess the fulfilment degree of the criterion. They evaluate the quality of educational and training programs (6 paragraphs), the quality of teaching staff (6 paragraphs), the quality of students’ affairs (8 paragraphs), the management quality of the educational institution (9 paragraphs), and the quality of structures and services (10 paragraphs). During the questionnaire, students expressed their opinion on the importance of a particular criterion using a five-step Likert scale. Based on the results, the arithmetic means, and standard deviations of the degree of students’ approval of the importance and fulfilment degree of each criterion as a whole and its individual paragraphs were calculated. The influence of these criteria on the dependent variable − the quality of training − was assessed using the Pearson correlation matrix. Based on the study results, several recommendations have been investigated to improve the quality management efficiency of training and education at the Centre.

Improving Knowledge Sharing through Trust-based Collaboration and Idealized Influence Transformational

The aim of the current research is to examine the effect of trust-based collaboration and idealized transformational leadership to the knowledge sharing. It also examined the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Data used in the current research are primary ones derived from questionnaires distributed to selected respondents. All lecturers of private universities in Central Java Indonesia having A qualification in institutional accreditation are the population. The sample is part of the population. Sampling technique used is non probability sampling, not all population has the same opportunity to be sample. The reason is that population is homogeneous in nature. The sample analysed is 162 respondents. The research finding indicates that idealized influence transformational leadership positively affects to trust-based collaboration. Trust-based collaboration has a positive effect on knowledge sharing. The research fails proving the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thus, the current research contributes to literature concerning the importance of trust-based collaboration in increasing knowledge sharing. The study is the first study examining the role of trust-based collaboration to the relationship between idealized influence transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Trust-based collaboration is the novelty of the research, that is derivation of the two theories. The finding strengthens one of main flows in literature and gives more empirical evidence about the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing that the relationship between the two is indirect in nature.

Implications of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on South Korean industries: Challenges and policy recommendations

This study examines the effects of the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on South Korean industries. Concerns about carbon leakage, where carbon emissions increase in countries or regions with less stringent climate policies, have grown recently. Specifically, firms strategically relocate their operations to countries with lower carbon costs, where they can produce goods more cheaply and without carbon constraints. CBAM is a carbon tariff on carbon intensive products imported by the European Union. While the CBAM has the potential to reduce global carbon emissions, it poses significant risks to South Korea, which relies heavily on exports of CBAM-affected products. This study provides an overview of the potential effects of the CBAM on industries in South Korea, applies event study analysis to quantitatively evaluate how the financial market has reacted to CBAM-related events. Based on the research findings, as the details of CBAM become clearer, there is a shift in perception from environmental goals to broader issues across industries. Building on this understanding, we discuss issues related to the CBAM enactment: firm-level carbon accounting, EC-certified accreditation institutions, and the carbon allowance price gap between the EU and South Korea. We propose necessary short-term and long-term policies to attenuate CBAM-related risks.

Does Quality Matter? Quality Assurance in Research for the Chilean Higher Education System

This study analyzes the research quality assurance processes in Chilean universities. Data from 29 universities accredited by the National Accreditation Commission were collected. The relationship between institutional accreditation and research performance was analyzed using length in years of institutional accreditation and eight research metrics used as the indicators of quantity, quality, and impact of a university’s outputs at an international level. The results showed that quality assurance in research of Chilean universities is mainly associated with quantity and not with the quality and impact of academic publications. There was also no relationship between the number of publications and their quality, even finding cases with negative correlations. In addition to the above, the relationship between international metrics to evaluate research performance (i.e., international collaboration, field-weighted citation impact, and output in the top 10% citation percentiles) showed the existence of three clusters of heterogeneous composition regarding the distribution of universities with different years of institutional accreditation. These findings call for a new focus on improving regulatory processes to evaluate research performance and adequately promote institutions’ development and the effectiveness of their mission.
