The Business Student's Guide to Sustainable Management by Petra Molthan-Hill

The Business Student's Guide to Sustainable Management by Petra Molthan-Hill

The Business Student’s Guide to Sustainable Management has become a core textbook for business undergraduates. With a full introduction to sustainable management, the textbook covers all subject areas relevant to business students. This second edition features fully updated chapters on how to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into accounting, marketing, HR and other subjects in management and business studies. Furthermore, this second edition offers brand new chapters on how to teach the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in any business discipline, how to explore new business models designed to support sustainable development and how to crowdsource for sustainable solutions. The book contains over 40 ready-made seminars/short workshops which enable teachers and students to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into every discipline in business, including economics, operations, marketing, HR, and financial reporting. Each chapter follows the same easy-to-use format. The Business Student’s Guide to Sustainable Management provides a true treasure chest of materials to support staff wanting to integrate sustainability into their teaching and provides support to effectively embed sustainability in the curriculum. The chapters also offer a starting point in developing teaching units for Masters and MBA students. The material is not just useful to people in business schools, but to those involved in wider scale curriculum change, and those looking to make links between different disciplines (for example, how to teach system thinking, corporate peace-making and the crowdsourcing of sustainable solutions). Online Teaching Notes to accompany each chapter are available on request with the purchase of the book.

The focal text of our review is The Business Student’s Guide to Sustainable Management: Principles and Practice, edited by Petra Molthan-Hill…We chose Molthan-Hill’s book due to its wide range of sustainability topics and its application to business disciplines.... The Business Student’s Guide is aimed at undergraduate business and management students. One of the book’s most important contributions is the discussion on how to embed sustainability in business schools. The book also offers information on a significant number of resources that could be used as a starting point either to blend into existing required traditional business courses or to develop within specialized electives.

One of the first textbooks I have come across to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into its teaching material – excellent for both business students and students and lecturers from other disciplines, or for anyone who wants to contribute to a more sustainable future for all!

The Business Student’s Guide to Sustainable Management: Principles and Practice provides students and educators alike with a tangible guide to effectively and meaningfully embed sustainability across the curriculum. By addressing not only content but also creative pedagogical approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment the book ensures a high-quality experience for learners. I particularly appreciate the way it is designed to allow educators to pick it up and run with it, knowing that they can trust the high quality content of the seminars, whilst also enabling students to independently increase their understanding of how sustainability links to a particular topic within business. The world is in desperate need of business leaders who deeply understand sustainability and have the skills and determination to make a positive impact – this book will help to make that a reality!

This is an excellent and timely book. It is excellent because of the breadth and depth of coverage, the multiple ways in which it can be used to support different approaches to embedding sustainability in the curriculum, and the teaching and learning resources it provides. It is timely because of the way in which it integrates the Sustainable Development Goals, and so draws on and develops this new world agenda.

We have a challenging and pressing journey to make in sustainability. Take this book with you - the "Sat Nav" of sustainable management.

Building on the impact of the first edition of The Business Student's Guide to Sustainable Management, this revised handbook is an invaluable resource for students and educators alike. It includes a wide array of learning resources – overview essays, case examples, curricular supplements (film and print), reference lists, instructional guides available to faculty – to empower the business practitioner who recognizes the necessity for, and the opportunities of, sustainable management.
