Abstract
The development of responsible management education (RME) has experienced a significant change towards sustainability-focused principles, indicating a shift from ethics to wider sustainability considerations in aca-demic domains. Although the importance of RME is be-coming more recognized, its execution and effects differ among institutions, highlighting the necessity for addition-al investigation to determine optimal methods and over-come current obstacles. Although previous literature has provided helpful insights, there is a clear need for additional empirical evidence and critical review to successfully address current difficulties and drive significant progress in responsible management education. This systematic review aims to synthesize current research on RME, with a focus on key topics such as the incorporation of sustainability education, the challenges of management education, different teaching methods, and the effects of RME education. Moreover, the review examines emerging themes in PRME literature, emphasizing areas that need additional investigation and improvement and proposes a framework for practical and effective implementation of PRME initiatives.
