Upcoming Events

St. Gallen, Switzerland, October 12. - 14. 2017

Oikos FutureLab

oikos is an international student-driven organization for sustainability in economics and management. Founded in 1987 in Switzerland, oikos today empowers leaders to drive change towards sustainability worldwide and the Humanistic Management Center is proud to have a long standing collaborative relationship with oikos.

In mid-October 2017 this year's oikos FutureLab will take place in St. Gallen Switzerland, celebrating their 30-year anniversary with a big event. The oikos website states that the FutureLab is a learning platform and conference for oikos members, alumni, partners, faculty and stakeholders. Once a year oikos convenes in St. Gallen to advance topics close to its mission which is: integrating more sustainability in economics and management education.

Under the leadership of RocÃo Robinson-Wiedemann, member of the Humanistic Management Network, we were very happy about the invitation to contribute a stakeholder engagement workshop to this event.

"And this is common to all external things that they are good to the extent that they lead to virtue, but not in themselves." Thomas Aquinas


"The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the public is catching on." Warren Buffett


"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." Henry Ford


"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof." John Kenneth Galbraith


"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Buddha


"We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization." Kofi Annan


"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life." Dalai Lama


"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." Desmond Tutu


"Economic growth may one day turn out to be a curse rather than a good, and under no conditions can it either lead into freedom or constitute a proof for its existence." Hannah Arendt
