ServCollab has collaborated with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) to create the PRME Working Group on Service Systems for Humanity.
We seek to bring together scholars, educators, and practitioners to advance research, teaching, and practice that transform service systems to serve humanity and the living planet wisely.
Here is the official description of PRME Working Groups:
“PRME Working Groups deepen collaboration in and across PRME Signatory institutions on specific issues relevant to corporate sustainability, responsibility, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Each Working Group brings together educators, faculty, and researchers to advance responsible management education through shared research, dialogue, and resource development.”
Most members of the SERVSIG research community work in business schools. Despite decades of service research, service is still regarded as a minor topic by many business school administrators and faculty.
This new PRME Working Group will give service scholars new opportunities to encourage business schools, business faculty, and business students to recognize that service systems are pervasive in human life and that all businesses are service systems.
Please join the PRME Working Group on Service Systems for Humanity!
