    The Business Student's Guide to Sustainable Management: Principles and Practice

    Aimed at undergraduates and MBAs, this is the first textbook to offer a full introduction to sustainable management, covering all subject areas relevant to business students. The Business Student's Guide to Sustainable Management contains nearly 30 ready-made seminars employing various teaching methods. Each chapter follows the same, easy-to-use format. It is a crucial textbook for business management courses and is designed to help business schools who want to embed sustainability into their teaching. It is perfect for self-directed study, as it adds the sustainable dimension to a subject of the student's choice.

    This book 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 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.
