    Kai Peters: Business Schools Will Have No Future if We Don’t Do This!

    What would a business school look like if one started with a blank sheet of paper and did not benchmark other business schools? What would the content be? Who would teach? What would it cost? In this session, we will look at how business schools got to be where they are because of the Ford and Carnegie reports over half a century ago, the advent in 1987 of the first of the major rankings, and the drivers of accreditation. Join one of GBSN’s new members, Coventry University Business School for this session, as Kai Peters, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Faculty of Business and Law), will makes the case for a major overhaul of the structure and positioning of business schools for the future.

    Business and Human Rights

    In the emerging academic field of Business and Human Rights (BHR), conducting research with real-world impact is the declared objective of many researchers. It is a field in which individual research interests and advocacy for human rights are often closely aligned. Companies under pressure to manage human rights challenges also welcome research on applied research questions. They hope for scholarly guidance on implementation challenges and results that are readily applicable in corporate practice. However, setting up research projects that meet the sometimes paradoxical requirements from academia and practice poses many challenges for researchers in this field.  In this Podcast we will provide examples from our work conducted in the context of the Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights. We will present our distinct research process and methodology to discuss with participants how to make further improvements. To close the webinar, we will highlight potential unintended consequences of conducting research with the declared objective of affecting change in company conduct. Panelists: Dorothée Baumann-Pauly, Director, Center for Business and Human Rights - Geneva School of Economics and Management, Switzerland. Serra Cremer Iyi, Consultant, Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights - Geneva School of Economics and Management, United Kingdom.
