Item type:Publication, The Palgrave Handbook of Social Sustainability in Business Education(Springer, 2024-03-13)This book provides a holistic conceptualization of social sustainability, going beyond the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and showcases how the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasizing social sustainability can be integrated into business studies' curricula in different parts of the world. A unique collection of literature comprising educational principles, content, activities, and cases will guide educators, managers of business study programs, and higher education leaders in developing engaging, high-impact educational experiences that enable students to solve grand societal challenges and grow as ethical, inclusive leaders. This handbook features a wide-range of tested teaching innovations. These cover education models addressing newest trends, such as utilizing artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies in education about-and-for socially sustainable business or skill development for enabling circular economy and sustainable production and consumption patterns. The classical, impactful yet underutilized in business studies instructional techniques such as storytelling and theatre are also discussed comprehensively. A cross-disciplinary approach of the handbook speaks to scholars aiming to research and implement business education, which connects social, environmental, and economic dimensions in quality education that promotes sustainable development. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Social sustainability in business education(Springer, 2024-03-13)In the introduction, we frame the importance of social sustainability for business and broader society, and explain why business education has substantial power to foster it, making a significant contribution to the global collective effort aimed at achieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability. To this end, we elaborate on the concept of social sustainability, clarify how it connects to the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability, and explain which of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize issues related to social sustainability. Additionally, we summarize teaching innovations documented from every continent in the world that are featured in this handbook. The richness of the voices and perspectives featured, as well as their cross-disciplinarity, are at the heart of the ethos of this handbook, and we elucidate how and why higher education institutions, managers of business programs, educators, and researchers would benefit from the featured contributions. Finally, we outline some tips on how to use the handbook effectively when researching social sustainability and when implanting social-sustainability-focused SDGs in business programs, courses, and/or lesson plans in different parts of the world, considering the contextual needs of the learner, the business education provider, and the educator. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exploring the sustainability mindset for management education with a focus on social sustainability(Springer, 2024-03-13)Bowing to mostly economics-driven models, business and management education has failed to embrace the complexity and boundaries of organizational systems. This failure has resulted in a disconnection from ourselves, the social environment, and the natural environment. Our interconnectedness with the world could be re-established through critical, mindful self-reflection and awareness, adding an emotional layer to our cognitive-heavy education efforts that would ignite behavioral change and action. In this chapter, we explore how to unlearn the economics-driven perspective by approaching sustainable development using a systems theory perspective and supplementing it with the sustainability mindset concept. Systems theory supports the importance of identifying all interrelated processes within the system and their multiple consequences across it all, while the three pillars of the sustainability mindset, knowing (having the knowledge to understand and do something), being (acknowledging the human factor within organizational decisions), and doing (being able to comprehensively implement changes), guide the discussion toward a more effective and accurate way to deal with the social issues of sustainable development within business education and thus address Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 (Quality Education). Educators can use the concept of the sustainability mindset to challenge the economics-driven models in management education. Furthermore, the sustainability mindset equips learners with a unique perspective on exploring the complexity and interconnectedness of today's challenges and enables them to navigate the multiple seas of uncertainty. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Conclusions: Business education that makes an impact on social sustainability within and beyond the classroom(Springer, 2024-03-13)Through a review of the best practices shared in this handbook, this chapter examines how higher education institutions (HEIs) can play a pivotal role in nurturing a holistic understanding of complex social issues within the context of business and create a positive impact on various stakeholder groups, such as learners, various HEIs, and the wider business and societal community. In this chapter, we showcase that current research on business education and best practices, addressing social sustainability, has more elaborately covered education that creates an impact on learners within business studies. While this stream of research and educational practice should be further explored and deepened, it is also essential to explore insights on how to transfer best practices through teaching innovations fostering social sustainability across the HEI, and how to design educational experiences that create an immediate positive impact on wider communities, locally and globally. This chapter underscores the importance of ongoing research, experimentation, and the sharing of best practices for promoting innovative teaching methods that enhance social sustainability and drive paradigm change through impacts on all stakeholder groups.
