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, Creating social value through problem-based learning: Using podcasts in business education(Springer, 2024-03-13)This chapter presents how utilizing problem-based learning (PBL) enhanced by podcasts-audio files distributed periodically with varying thematic content-as an educational resource aids the development of undergraduate learners' competencies such as critical thinking, ethics, sustainability awareness, and the ability to solve sustainability-related business challenges. To illustrate the functionality and benefits of using podcasts to teach social sustainability in business education, we provide a case example from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in which the podcast "Relatos de gestión" ["Management Stories"], based on a storytelling technique, has proven to connect the learners with social and environmental problems. This podcast series helped to activate learners' emotions since listening to it enabled them to explore true stories from a first-hand perspective and the latter learning experience enhanced their agency to participate in creating sustainable business solutions. Moreover, learners significantly deepened their understanding of creating social and public value for businesses whose mission and strategies contribute to specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter specifically focuses on the podcast episode developed to target SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), in which learners develop empathy with the problem; SDG 5 (Gender Equality), in which learners reflect on new opportunities for women; and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), in which learners analyze the new work conditions of women. - 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.
