I really like this course due to the interesting and not boring presentation of material, a great number of additional links/literature/materials.

Very Good organization of the topics, teachers and interviewers were nice. It is a great opportunity to learn about CSR.

It's a very interesting course with lots of information and practicioners interviews taking place. I would prefer though having more concrete theory to help with the final assignment.

Overall, a great course for those interested or practicing CSR.

This course was excellent. It was a great experience going through this MOOC. The professors did an outstanding job, the material was fantastic and bringing people to share their ideas and thoughts was just brilliant.

I found this course very beneficial - whilst the course content was familiar to me, the tools they highlight each week have allowed me to look more holistically at the challenges I face within my work context. It has been super helpful having each assignment relate to a real problem I face, and the opportunity to connect with people in a similar field helped create a support network. Working in sustainability is challenging but beneficial, and its great to have connected with people who have similar experiences and push backs. I really enjoyed the interviews - seeing people within the field of sustainability and understanding their career path has got me really excited for the future. Going forward in my current job, I feel as though I have an action plan with how to change the company for the better. Highly recommend the course.

I really enjoyed the course as it provided me with some really good insights on how to use theoretical exercises to manage in a more sustainable, responsible, and ethical way.

I found it very fascinating in terms of examples, interviews with practical solutions, and of course the very nice set of the beautiful city of Manchester.

The PowerPoints and assignments were also very useful and I find it a good structure to have assignments every week that contribute to the last graded assignment.

Great course. It gave a lot of practical views as well by uploading various practitioners videos on the topics: Managing responsibly, Sustainability and ethics.

It will be interesting to listen to the course for businessmen to promote and improve the work of the company and for general education.

Thanks for everything and giving me sufficient knowledge of Managing responsibility.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this MOOC over the past two months. It opened by eyes to framework and ways of thinking such as the INSIDE-OUT and OUTSIDE-IN matrix and made me aware of the 10 principles of responsibility to organize my ideas. Truth be told, my interest for corporate social responsibility increased tremendously in the past year. I almost applied to do a specialized master in the field! I read recently that 75 percent of millennials are willing to take a pay cut if it means working for a company that is environmentally and socially responsible, and after taking this course I am more convinced that I will be the same.

It was a pleasure to follow on Coursera, this course of “Managing Responsibly: Practicing Sustainability, Responsibility and Ethics” by University of Manchester. All the instructors have performed very well with valuable lectures and all the interviews to practitioners are adding great value to the course. The source materials are also great. In order to get the maximum profit from this course you have to watch all the videos download all the source materials, read them at least once, and especially do all the assignments. Great Course! A great thanks to all involved in the preparation of this course.

C'est un cours très très intéressant, qui m'a vraiment aidé à comprendre l'importance du développement durable, de l'éthique et de la morale. Le cours m'a permis de comprendre que la volonté de bien faire les choses dans l'intérêt de la nature et de la population est très importante. Je conseille ce cours à tout ce qu'ils veulent apprendre quelque chose d'importer sur la gestion de façon responsable, le développement durable et l'éthique. On apprend des acteurs du terrain qui expliquent dans les entretiens ce qu'ils ont pu faire dans leur différents domaines dans le cadre du développement durable.

I am doing an EMBA and my first goal in doing that it was to have a Change. New perspectives, new direction, new journeys. At the moment i see more definitions of what I am doing in my job. Just to give a real word to what we are using in our daily jobs. Then I found this course: Responsibility, Sustainability and ethics is the road. Downthere we can construct all together a change. The sinergies between responsibility, sustainability and ethics can fuel our future.

I really liked the way they conveyed the whole course step by step clearly. and if it is only a theoretical approach of teaching then it might be boring but the approach to conveying the practicality of the topic with professionals experience in interviews is really nice. and the way of evaluation of the assignments to pass the course is also conducted very well, even it helped to build or expand our network with like-minded professionals.

Managers are increasingly confronted with issues of sustainability, responsibility and ethics. Managing responsibly is an integrative approach to sustainability, responsibility and ethics, which allows you as a manager to deal competently with such challenges. This course will facilitate your learning process to engage in changing practices to make them more sustainable, responsible, and ethically informed.

Really really good. There is a good balance between lectures, interviews and case studies. The whole content is of excellent quality, with a lot of material, additional information of sources, etc. The course also allows that we exchange with peers, which gives the overall learning process a lot of added value. Well done!

Great insight on CSR. Thanks to Oliver, Frank and Sally I was able to have an integrated view on this very current subject and deepen my knowledge and skills on it. Interviews and external contributions are engaging, assignments are challenging and worthy.

Interesting course, it gives a broad view of what means responsible management. Useful and stimulating the opportunity of meeting other people attending the course from other places in the world.

The course has given a breath to my professional space. The approach and methodology during the course assisted in molding my current professional experience with concepts of course.

Great to learn the different aspect of Managing Responsibly and interconnection between Sustainability Responsibility and Ethics.

Very well thought thru and presented course, both from a theoretical and practical standpoints. Thanks a lot to the lecturers!

A very good course with enough best practice sharing and tools, to provide a path to improve one's sustainability journey
