Principles for Responsible Management Education at the Faculty

PRME-Logo Based on our PRME membership we follow the PRME principles and share information on our progress continuously. Below you can see the faculty activities and the progress achieved from May 2020 to May 2022 (started from May 2018).

  • Sustainability is a key topic expressed by the university’s sustainability mission statement as well as in research and teaching in our faculty.
  • The TU Chemnitz launched its first sustainability report in February 2022 by applying a whole-institution approach, meaning integrating students from different faculties, organizational members from administration, research and cooperative institutions, e.g. student union. A main goal is to address the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and initiate a system-wide transformational process towards sustainability.
  • Students and all organisational members are able to engage in the Task Force Sustainability for incorporating sustainability in academia and value transformation towards sustainability as well as for a sustainable campus development.

  • In regular meetings, topics and issues of sustainability are reflected and discussed in strategy workshops and faculty-based activities and practices, embedded in curricula as well as joint research activities.
  • There is ongoing dialogue within the faculty and between the faculty and the university management as well as the State Ministry of Science and the Arts (SMWK) to reflect, discuss and embed specific sustainability issues as well as ongoing change towards more sustainability in the university and its practices.
  • Since 2019, an academia-wide process hast been initiated to progress sustainability in and beyond academia. In line with the Sustainability Code sustainability is reflected and incorporated on the levels strategy, governance, research, teaching, administration, process and operation, etc. There are initiatives to extend bike mobility, sustainable purchase, sustainable energy and becoming a fair-trade university. Moreover, there is a university-wide transfer platform offering discarded inventory of the university for internal use. This avoids new acquisitions and unnecessary waste.
  • The university’s sustainability mission statement is guiding teaching, research, administration and transfer.
  • There are recommendations towards strengthening sustainable procurement and selected sustainability topics to enhance sustainability in academia in a sustainability blog.

  • There is a vivid integration of sustainability in lectures, courses, seminars and workshops, e.g.
    • Establishment of a faculty-wide module "Responsible Decision-Making" in the Business Administration (B.Sc.) addressing ethical and fact-based decisions in all areas of business management and economics.
    • The chair of Business Taxation and Auditing regularly conducts case studies in cooperation with tax practitioners, where students have to work in teams. We also use role-playing to train their capabilities to develop chairmanship in tricky tax negotiations. The chair also routinely addresses tax measures to enforce political ecological goals, e.g. special allowances for electric mobility, the tax incentives or inhibitent tax factors for renewable energy, or the influence of current and acquisition taxes on real estate on sustainable housing costs in overcrowded areas in teaching.
    • The chair of Management Accounting and Control addresses issues of sustainability and instruments like Material Flow Cost Accounting among others in the courses Life Cycle Engineering, Life Cycle-oriented Management, Subsystems of Management and Control and IT-supported evaluation of material flows and process chains. Numerous (group work) projects, seminars and theses which deal with the evaluation of ecological, economic and social sustainability are a constant part of the teaching portfolio of the chair.
    • The chair of Banking and Corporate Finance integrates a variety of sustainability topics in its bachelor and master lectures and seminars, e.g. Sustainable Finance.
    • Various courses (lectures, tutorials, seminars, and student projects) of the chair of Organization and International Management deal with issues of ecological, social, and economic sustainability in organizational contexts and related problems such as climate change, responsible consumption, gender inequality, discrimination, precariousness, and decent work. In the courses, especially in the tutorials and seminars, students are encouraged to critically reflect on their own as well as others' actions, to identify existing problems in organizations, and to uncover mechanisms of reproduction.
    • The chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies addresses issues of environmental, economic and social sustainability in lectures, tutorials, seminars as well as in student projects. The courses address topics such as environmental and social sustainability in Human Resource Management (green HRM, socially responsible HRM and sustainable HRM), social sustainability in leadership (leadership development, meaningful leadership, ethical leadership, leadership and gender) as well as meaningful work. In addition, the chair supervises students’ projects on topics such as “Remote Work & COVID-19 - Implications for the Design of Sustainable Human Resources Management” or “Perception and Promotion of Meaningful Work”.
    • The chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management offers various lectures and seminars, like Management of Sustainability Innovations in the course Technology and Innovation Management: Introduction, Lecture on Technology Assessment and Design of Technology for a Sustainable Development in the course Technology Management, Corporate Social Responsibility in the lecture series Strategic Management, seminars Innovation Research on Sustainability Innovations or Economy & Society and seminars & projects in professional fields.
    • The chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability offers a variety and range of courses and learning formats. The chair develops and implements interactive courses as well as agile methods (e.g. systemic structural constellations, SCRUM) particularly aiming at a holistic view and independently solving of complex sustainability contexts. Practicing SDG is a cross-university seminar including partners from business, administration and municipality in learning contexts. Moreover, it continuously integrates practical lectures into the teaching process. The development of courses including materials that support alternative learning habits, environments, and E-Learning formats, using innovative programs and tools (e.g., Adobe Captivate; OPAL), is part of the digitization strategy of the professorship. The toolbox Sustainability virtual is one outcome. Moreover, combining sustainability and digitisation as well as developing sustainable future instructional design taking rebound effects into account academia-wide perspectives were investigated and discussed.
    • The chair of Marketing and Retail addresses cultural influences as well as ethical business in the lecture "Consumer Behaviour". Besides learning about the fundamental theories of culture, students are taught the impacts that culture has on everyday behaviour including its effects on consumer behaviour as well as how it should be respected in marketing. It teaches students what it means to be an ethical business, including issues such as bribery, product safety, international advertising self-regulation, Social Marketing, Consumer Well-being, and the dark sides of consumption behaviour (e.g., gaming addiction), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Students also learn that their consumption behaviour has a direct impact on the behaviour of companies, thus reinforcing ethical consumption behaviour on the consumer side. Furthermore, the lecture “Sensory Marketing” focuses on ethical questions in marketing practice (e.g., whether subliminal advertising and other attempts to manipulate consumers can be justified from an ethical point of view). The chair regularly conducts case studies where students have to work in teams on marketing problems with a focus on ecological sustainability, e.g., optimizing product offer compositions of green electricity tariffs. In various seminars on scientific work students are encouraged to reflect on ethical topics in marketing and consumer behaviour (e.g., nudging and Libertarian Paternalism).
    • The chair of Public Law manages a transdisciplinary faculty-wide seminar Business and Economy meets Science (Wirtschaft meets Wissenschaft) where students work scientifically on specific business problems together with company representatives applying vivid and divers learning formats. The chair is also offering lectures in Energy Law, Energy-management legislation, and Renewable Energy Law.
    • The chair of Macroeconomics offers various lectures and seminars, like Environmental and Resource Economics, Critical Aspects of the Economics of Climate Change or Climate Policy in Germany and the European Union.
  • With the project Joint Expertise we aim to form a multi-level, permanent and academic cooperation in responsible, sustainable and global aware management education and practice especially for master and doctoral students between the University of Technology Chemnitz, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN), School of Management, IT and Governance. The 2018 Summer School – 12th American-African-European Summer School in South Africa on the subject of “Responsible and Sustainable Management of Innovation in Urban and Global Contexts” is one example of the ongoing joint learning spaces. Fortunately, the project was prolonged until December 2021 to continue with the cooperation digitally. During this phase we had different online lectures held by TU Chemnitz professors for students of the University KwaZulu Natal. Furthermore, jointly developed modules were offered to the students.
  • The 3rd Artem international conference on Organizational Creativity and Sustainability (ARTEM OCC 2020) planned to be be held in March 2020 in Chemnitz as an inter- and transdisciplinary and faculty-based event was cancelled due to Corona Pandemic circumstance. The missing presentations lead into Special Issues publications. The 4th ARTEM OCC took place in April 2022 in Nancy.

  • There is a vivid research culture around sustainability topics represented in contributions to conferences, papers as well as discussions in PhD workshops.
  • The chair of Organization and International Management conducts empirical research on sufficiency among management researchers, gender implications at higher education institutions in Germany, institutionalization of sustainable research data management, stigmatization of temporary agency workers, participation in cooperatives, and marginalized entrepreneurships. Studies were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, the International Sustainable Development Research Society (ISDRS) Conference, and the Congress for Work, Organizational, and Economic Psychology and Human Factors. In addition, students' projects on sustainability management at Siemens Energy, participation in organisations, and new modes of work in various companies are carried out and supervised by the staff of the chair.
  • The chair of Business Taxation and Auditing conducted an interdisciplinary project with socio-psychologic/organizational researchers in the field of aggressive tax planning by multinational corporations. In addition, the real estate tax reform is of key interest.
  • The chair of Management Accounting and Control was and is involved in several interdisciplinary projects addressing issues of sustainability: e.g. "Technological and economic assessment of the application of active flow control to Optimize the wind harvesting capacity of Wind power plants" (TOpWind), „Green Energy in industrial groups" (GRIDS), Digital assistance systems in cattle farming" (Cattle Hub) and the young researcher groups "Automated, component contour-near production of bio-based lightweight sandwich structures" (ecoWing) and "New materials for fuel cells" (NeMaCell), funded by the European Social Fonds ESF and the Free State of Saxony.
  • The chair of Banking and Corporate Finance addresses sustainable finance in municipalities for realising the taxonomy conformity of a municipality for the preparation of sustainable finance measures.
  • The chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies investigates the role and the perception of sustainable Human Resource Management systems and meaningful work in family firms using a qualitative empirical research approach. Another qualitative empirical research project examines how leaders can influence their followers’ perception of meaningful work especially in the digital age. Several Bachelor’s and Master’s theses have already been conducted on the important topic of sustainability in HRM (with different practice partners): e.g. Socially Responsible Human Resource Management, Sustainable Human Resource Management, Meaningful Work, Meaningful Leadership, Inclusive Leadership and Gender Inequalities, Sustainable Careers, Promotion of Female Leaders etc.
  • The chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management initiated several research projects linking to sustainability: e.g. "Joint Expertise" for Responsible, Sustainable and Global Aware Management, funded by the DAAD and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in the program "Specialised Partnership with Universities in Developing Countries", “Sustainable mobility chains”, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research; R&D-Projects relating to the connection of sustainability with topics like frugal and inclusive innovation, education, NGOs; and sustainability research projects in the Management & Organisation Studies and Business Engineering. The chair also participated in the BMBF project “Gesellschaft der Ideen. Wettbewerb für Soziale Innovationen” and supported the application of several projects as part of the “Forum Sozialer Innovationen”. The supported project “Acren” that aims to support and facilitate the funding of local sustainability projects in a transparent way using a blockchain platform was chosen for a two-year funding.
  • The chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability initiates joint projects with diverse stakeholders and engages in the international network ISDRS.
  • The chair of Public Law deals with public consumer protection law and renewable energy law or environmental law.
  • The chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights concerns how blockchain technology can make a significant contribution to a sustainable economy and society, such as responsibility in circular economy processes or the legal support of energy and emissions trading. Particularly in the context of the supply chain law, blockchain technology can help companies to comply their corporate obligations. In the area of emissions trading, blockchain technology in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the tokenisation of machines, raw materials, but also CO2, ensures sustainable use of existing resources and can thus make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the legally compliant implementation of sustainable work processes is addressed, especially in the transformation of work. The focus here is on the implementation of sustainable remuneration and working time models as well as the legally required compliance systems, including the design of reporting and complaint procedures, which are to be established mandatory with the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
  • The chair of Marketing and Retail addresses responsibility and ethics in marketing based on consumer manipulation techniques within the chair´s core research topic of context effects in consumer decision making.
