    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.
