Purpose This paper aims to assess the contribution of the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in higher education, covering education, research and outreach in Brazilian higher education institutions (HEIs) after becoming signatories. Design/methodology/approach Teachers representing Brazilian HEI signatories to the PRME were interviewed. The IRAMUTEQ software was used for content analysis, descending hierarchical classification and similarity tree, allowing to quantify the quality variables originating from the professors’ beliefs and opinions. Findings The PRME helps Brazilian HEIs to review or create disciplines related to responsible management education and adopt transdisciplinarity for sustainability. The signatories’ PRME-influenced research is interdisciplinary, focusing on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Social responsibility is promoted through local-community projects, while partnerships, initiatives and innovative pedagogies from foreign-signatory HEIs provide international experiences for teachers and students. However, within one initiative, which had 170 signatories in 2008 and over 800 in 2020, indicators should be formulated to analyze and enhance HEIs’ sustainability profile. The PRME contributes to educating young people and adults in Brazil via education, research or outreach; however, this contribution needs to be assessed. Originality/value Prior studies have not collected data through interviews to consider professors’ perspectives on the PRME’s contribution to signatory HEIs in Brazil. This study interviewed professors involved with the PRME to broaden their understanding beyond bibliometrics and assess the alignment of the PRME and UN SDGs.

Enrollment Rates

A cross-country comparison reveals the fact that high tertiary enrollment rates are associated with low corruption, and low tertiary enrollment rates are associated with high corruption. Such a comparison does not show whether an increase in higher education leads to lower or higher corruption. Hence, the aim of the study is to analyze the effect of higher education on corruption on best performing European Union countries and worst performing African Union countries. It is found that higher education has positive significant effect on corruption not only in African Union but also in European Union. Hence, it is concluded that the enticement of higher living standard prevails the moral principals and ethical values of individuals in the way of reaching it. The author advise a course on moral principals and ethical values to be included in the curriculum of higher education institutions to teach the meaning of virtue and the long-term gains of living with high moral standing rather than to be gravitated to the short-term gains of corruption as a policy implication.

Development Of Competencies

Societies across the world currently deal with multiple interconnected problems whose solutions call for the active participation of various actors. The private sector is among them and as a result, business leaders are in need of competencies that enable them to find appropriate answers. Sustainability competence may offer the key to transition towards a more equal and fair economy where the resources are maintained for the use of future generations. Higher Education Institutions and specifically business schools are an essential means to develop such competency. This chapter presents a proposal of an educational pathway for the development of competencies for sustainability and offers educators an array of teaching techniques that could be used at each stage.
