Workshop presentation

The management responsible for steering the activities of the company and its governance. This responsibility is mainly in three areas: Environmental (preventing risks, follow standards, manage resources), economic (to preserve the long-term interests, taking into account all costs of production), social and societal (think of the generations to come, meet the social challenges - social protection)

Workshop’s main purposes
 To promote responsible management as a new way of improving corporate performances.
 To make responsible management an element of progress for the whole society, at the company level as well as local and international level,
 That established principles and targets for China and Europe concerning responsible management could be part of a large international scale of certification.

Topics for debates

1/ To think about links between management and responsibility : relation to liberty, assessment, social or economical pressure. Responsible management is also depending on what cultures it takes place in taking in account a world wide context.
2/ To identify some measures, standards, criterion and frames of reference according to actual experiences of higher educating institutions in China and Europe.
3/ To detect obstacles to changes in management policies that could prevent from developing cultures of responsibility or putting into practice acquired knowledges.
4/ To imagine what kind of capitalisation can be done about the efforts realised by the firm for its own employees or for stakeholders.

Expected returns :
 To find a common denominator between China and Europe about the definition of responsibility and management respecting cultural identities.
 To clarified the meaning of a responsible practice in management.
 To set an objective of developing initial or permanent trainings, integrating the notion of responsibility even as practical skills.
 To define references for assessment of progresses realised in an enterprise according to responsible management.
 To settle on evaluative approaches : internal audit, suppliers of extra financial analysis and so on.
