WHAT SCHOLARS ARE SAYING:
What would management look like if we did not start from the assumption that businesses exist exclusively to create profit? If we took planetary boundaries into account at the start, and took sustainability as an essential value for managers? This text provides a lively and engaging vision, filled with up-to-date examples of enterprises that focus on the financial bottom line, or the triple bottom line, or enhancing social and ecological well-being. In a world where business is the default college major, this text is a welcome alternative to help create more ecologically and socially sustainable enterprises of the future.
Jerry Davis, Gilbert & Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration, Ross School of Business; co-founder of Responsible Research in Business and Management, and former editor of Administrative Science Quarterly
In an age where short-termism among executives and threats to the natural environment are growing in parallel, it is heartening to discover an incisive, important, and timely text that can help the managers of tomorrow battle those trends. We are honored to give this book our very strongest endorsement.

The book provides practical, evidence-based answers to the pressing problems and promising possibilities that contemporary classrooms provide for learning management courses. For educators at all levels, this is more than simply a theoretical tome; it's a toolkit for improving student learning and professional practice. Teachers are given the tools to create a classroom that is more welcoming and adaptable to students' needs by incorporating new ideas and different points of view. Ultimately, this book is a must-have for educators who are serious about improving student learning and incorporating sustainable practices into their classrooms.

It is a very innovative textbook in management. It presents the three main paradigms (Financial Bottom Line, Triple Bottom Line, and Social and Ecological Thought) in an engaging way. It contributes to redefining management for fitting in the reality of the Anthropocene era in which we live now.
