Student
Involvement in TIP-India:
India Student Attitudes Survey and
Essay Competition
We
are planning to conduct a business school student attitudes survey
on sustainability (social, environmental and ethical issues) in
India. This survey will be similar to previous surveys we have
conducted in the U.S./Canada/Western Europe and China (http://www.aspencbe.org/teaching/Student_Attitudes.html).
We will ask students provocative questions such
as:
·
What do you believe are the primary responsibilities of a company?
·
How do you think companies benefit from fulfilling their social
responsibilities?
·
How will you react if your values conflict with those of the company
where you work?
In an effort to encourage student
involvement in the TIP-India program, we will be holding an essay
competition around a topic in sustainability (to be
determined). Two student
winners of the competition will be brought to Goa to participate in
the next TIP-India convening (December 11-12, 2009).
More information on both the student
attitudes survey and the essay competition to
follow. |

TIP-India
Academic
Visits Aspen in New York
Our
colleagues at The Aspen Institute in New York recently enjoyed a
luncheon with one of
the professors involved in the TIP-India
program - Raghu Ram Tata, Professor at XLRI in Jamshedpur. We
got to learn more about Raghu's work, which explores environmental
governance; policy; sustainable
development business
interface. Raghu is working on developing
India-specific
cases with teaching notes which touch on sustainable land
acquisition and inclusive
development models in the mining
industry.
Please let us know if you have plans to be
in the New York area - we would love to host others working on
integrating sustainability - social, environmental and ethical
issues - into mainstream business
education. |
