ABSTRACT

This chapter argues, using the case method, that the educational experience in a capstone course for the MBA concentration in Sustainable Management at DePaul University, titled Developing Sustainable Strategies: Capstone Practician. It highlights the challenges and opportunities of integrating the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) into management education from the student perspective. The chapter explains how one student engaged in an arc of Pragmatic Inquiry to develop a sustainable strategy, but Pragmatic Inquiry touches on each of the PRME principles. In this case authors introduce Steve Lu and Garfield Produce, the sustainable value he created, and then they explain how Steve's educational experience using Pragmatic Inquiry helped him create sustainable value using illustrations from his coursework to show his arc of inquiry from idea to reality. The chapter explores number of specific Pragmatic Inquiry exercises to facilitate the creation of sustainable value, and deals with a summary of how classroom endeavours, at any level of higher education, can benefit from it.
