ABSTRACT

This chapter takes a particular perspective on Responsible Management Education (RME), focusing on problems identified in recent research. The problematic issues are related to a lack of clarity associated with the key terms, and consequential impacts of RME that might may be missed because of this lack of clarity. As an illustration of the consequences, the chapter discusses moral injury, an experience of the betrayal of one’s fundamental values that leads to ongoing, debilitating anguish. The chapter argues that moral injury might also be a hazard faced by managers expected to act responsibly in challenging and constraining contexts after completing an RME program. As a response to this problem, the chapter encourages further research in the field.
