    Dear Colleagues,

    "Teaching Sustainable Strategies to Managers: Science, Practice and Philosophy"

    Saturday, Aug 8 2015 10:15AM to 11:45AM at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Room 111.

     

     

    Organizers, Presenters, and Discussants: Padmakumar Nair (Thapar U., India); Divya Bhutiani (U. of Twente, NL); Michel Ehrenhard (U. of Twente, NL); Aard Groen (U. of Twente, NL); Greg Dess (U. of Texas, Dallas, USA); Wendy Stubbs (Monash U., Australia); Peter Love (York U., Canada); Andrew Burke (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland); Helen Haugh (U. of Cambridge, UK); Hemant Merchant (Florida Atlantic U., USA).

     

    The sustainability agenda has generated genuine interest in educating business students and practicing managers in developing sustainable business strategies including new organizational forms such as hybrid and social entrepreneurial enterprises. Through this PDW we explore the practical, theoretical and philosophical challenges of teaching sustainability and sustainable business strategy to MBA students and practicing managers. Scholars with rich research and teaching experience will address the various pedagogical challenges by bringing together diverse fields such as social psychology, ethics, philosophy, environmental science, strategy, organizational behaviour, economics, materials science, energy technology and climate science. Finally we discuss the importance of developing a social entrepreneurial mind-set in students and practicing managers to passionately carry forward the sustainability agenda.

     

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

     

     

    Best regards,

     

    Divya Bhutiani

    Univ. of Twente,

    The Netherlands.
