Resumen de Paradigm shift to implement SDG 2 (end hunger): A humanistic management lens on the education of future leaders
Brigitta Herrmann, Volker Rundshagen
This article argues that new paradigms of leadership, as well as leadership education, are required to more effectively work towards the implementation of SDG 2 – end hunger. It draws on the philosophically rooted concept of Humanistic Management as a lens to examine the relationship between SDG 2, the human right to food and reasons for the persistence of hunger in the world. The status quo and current approaches are presented in detail as dysfunctional, with an emphasis on the role of the WTO regulations, intellectual property rights schemes and negotiation processes. It is suggested that in order to develop future leaders who tackle global issues like this persistence of hunger in more promising and more responsible ways, business schools need to look beyond responsible management education. In this vein, Humanistic Management is also discussed as a platform for the advocated paradigm shift. It is highlighted through which stages business schools could transform their educational approach and provision accordingly
