Abstract

The need for a socio-ecological transformation of society is being emphasised in different contexts. Tomorrow's business leaders will play a key role in this transformation. Therefore the call for more Responsible Management Education (RME) is becoming steadily louder. In response, the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative was founded, aiming to provide future leaders with the skills they need to contribute to a sustainable development.
Three curricular dimensions influence, whether students gain these skills: the formal, the informal and the hidden curriculum. Aims of RME can only be reached if all three dimensions are aligned. However, currently scholars pay little attention to the hidden and informal curriculum.
This research aims to generate knowledge about the hidden curriculum. Moreover, connections between formal and hidden curricula shall be researched.
The hidden curriculum will be examined through questionnaires and group discussions, including stimulated recalls. The formal curriculum will be raised through a documentary analysis. Discussions and documents will be evaluated with qualitative content analysis.
The results will presumably provide profound knowledge concerning the interaction mechanisms of formal and hidden curricula. The outcome can help researchers develop RME implementation models. Moreover, this knowledge can support lecturers in questioning and improving RME in their institutions.
