Global Faculty Series: Dr. Ernst von Kimakovitz
Mr. Ernst is the Director of Humanistic Management Center and a senior research fellow at the Institute of Social Ethics (ISE), Lucerne Area, Switzerland. It was indeed a wonderful and resourceful three-day course on the topic “Corporate Governance, Ethics and Business Sustainability. We have often come across the word “sustainability” in not just business context, but also in our day to day lives. However, our students understood the true meaning and the purpose behind the rise of this concept, especially in today’s world through this session. The first day in our 3-day long sessions, began with outlining a broad picture of what is going on in today’s world with the rising concerns of climate change, global warming, and so on. In essence, there are 2 main concerns with the world today, firstly the environmental concerns, that includes how we are combating climate change, a connection with the business world and the big word of the town, “sustainability”. Secondly, the distribution issues. Here, our students understand that our planet has enough resources and energy to serve our needs however, we just do not know how to utilize and divide them. From here, Dr. Ernst started building on these two major concepts. Further, students learnt about the five “key drivers”. We often think that having purpose and being passionate would solve most of our problems. However, each one of the two needs a moderator. The former was moderated with legitimacy and the latter with integrity along with another major driver, empathy.

Global Faculty Series: Prof. Amlan Bhushan "Public Management, Sustainable Governance and Social Change"
22nd June, 2023 we have conducted a guest lecture as part of Global Faculty Series for PGDM batch (2023-25) students. We were privileged with the presence of our guest Prof. Amlan Bhushan Sir, who has graciously accepted our invitation to share his insights on "Public management, sustainable governance and social change ".
Prof. Bhushan earned his Bachelor of Commerce and Administration majoring in public policy and commercial law from the School of Government, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and then followed up with Masters degrees in Economics and Business from Lund University, Sweden. In 2006, he was nominated for a doctorate of letters honoris causa. Prof. Amlan Bhushan grew up in New Zealand, later trained as a public policy analyst at the School of Government, Wellington, and had early career success advising both the labor minister as well as the Minister for Internal Affairs as a Policy Advisor. His latest book, titled Sustainable Boardrooms Democratizing Governance for Social Inclusion and Growth, by Springer Germany, is a greatly anticipated work.
The session started with discussions about three key elements that the managers need to develop to stay relevant in the world of sustainability and social change. Firstly, to make sure the decisions, actions and intentions related to product and services of an Organisation should have a positive impact on the society. Secondly, the leadership style should match with the complexity for a country like India. It should be impact based. While implementing the services the leader must ensure there is transparency, accountability, and compliance of rules and regulation. Finally, a manager should be culturally educated in a digitalized world with being fresh and alive about the happenings around the world. Not just about the managerial aspects like finance and marketing, but to go beyond the traditional subjects.
Then we gained an understanding about Greenwashing. In Greenwashing organizations make broad sustainability claims without evidence. There are very big companies in the world which practice this. They spend a large amount of time and money to marketing themselves as environmentally friendly company rather than actually doing activities to minimize environmental impacts. Greenwashing is classified as an unfair trade practice by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Corporate Organisations need to have intellect and honesty. We also learnt about Environmental, social and governance (ESG). It is a framework used to assess an organization's business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. And Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which refers to sustainability strategies businesses employ to ensure that the company is responsible to the society. Further we learnt how organisations in India should make commercially viable and innovative products and services. These organisations also need to generate social wealth and fulfill their responsibility and not just because of compliance.
During the question-and-answer session many great insights came forward. Such as, how there is a war between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, in the future the performance of humans will be measured by machines and how quickly AI responds to solutions for the problems . What should humans do? We must learn to push ourselves beyond the horizons, gain an upper hand while dealing with automation, use AI as an assistance in decision making, and how to create original and new information put our voice. .
At the end Bhushan Sir gave us suggestions on how to invest in ourselves. Such as: continue to enhance our leadership abilities, to identify indicators of resistance to change, to manage people , society and change through policy making, to put ourselves into challenging situations and respond to them rather than being complacent, and to develop power and ability to not just communicate but make sense with comprehensive research and data . Bhushan Sir concluded the session with the quote by Mahatma Ghandhi “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” It was a very informative session with lots of new insights and actionable steps that we will definitely follow. We would like to thank our Director Dr. B. S. Patil Sir and Program Manager Dr. Shekar N Makkalageri Sir for making this session a success.
