Achievements Curriculum Integration in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
• GEM has several faculty members specialized in ethics, social responsibility and/or sustainable development. Among the faculty specialized in this field are: Caroline Gauthier, Mark Smith, Mohammed Matmati, Patrick O’ Sullivan, Karim Benameur, Mark Esposito, Charles-Clemens Ruling.
• On January 10 and 11th 2008, Grenoble Ecole de Management hosted the fifth annual ADERSE (Association for the Development of Education and Research on Corporate Social Responsibility) Conference on the “Transversality of Corporate Social Responsibility”, organized in partnership with the Université Pierre Mendès-France. ADERSE brings together a hundred university professors, lecturers and researchers, scholars from French Grandes Ecoles, doctoral candidates and professionals who do research or work in this area.
• A project is underway to create a research pole for Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility which will encourage scholarship, publications and course development in this field. This pole will focus on two areas:
1) The Consumer and Sustainable Development
The consumer being the ultimate decision-maker in markets, and sustainable development is very dependent on consumer choices. Four subtopics have been identified for further exploration in Sustainable Development:
• Consumer Learning and Sustainable Development;
• Consumer Loyalty and Sustainable Development;
• Consumer Satisfaction and Sustainable Development;
• Characteristics of the responsible consumer; e.g. the social investor.
2) Channels and Corporate Social Responsibility
Discussions with experts have shown that the French large stores channel does not fit with the development of the fair trade. Four subtopics have been identified for further research in Corporate Social Responsibility:
• International comparison of the channel systems in order to develop fair-trade;
• B2B marketing and Sustainable Development;
• Corporate Social Responsibility or Sustainable Development’s impact on brand capital;
• Time scale and SD strategy.
Dr. Caroline Gauthier has recently received the Prix de l’Académie des Sciences Commerciales 2007 for her co-authored book Le Développement durable au coeur de l’entreprise (Sustainable Development in Companies: At the Heart of the Organization).
Dr. Ruling was attributed a prestigious prize “Trophées des Grandes écoles de Commerce 2007” from the magazine L’Etudiant for his pedagogical innovation and course development in this area.
