Market demand for sustainability in management education

---

Purpose – This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing debate about the relevance of sustainability in
management education through exploration of the needs and expectations of a key group of business
schools’ stakeholders – senior executives of leading corporations.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents findings from a survey regarding
sustainability within management education returned by executives from a wide span of global
companies. The study includes 194 survey responses by senior executives from companies that are
signatories of the United Nations Global Compact.
Findings – Results from a survey of executives from leading multinational enterprises reveal
widespread recognition that sustainability issues are increasingly important for effective management,
thus that managers must be appropriately trained for these emerging challenges. Survey results also
indicate the kinds of skills and qualities seen as valuable by corporate leaders.
Research limitations/implications – It is not possible to extrapolate from this study the aggregate
sentiment of all senior business executives, but the sample of 194 respondents is significant.
Practical implications – The expressed demand from business leaders provides context for business
school faculty and administrators involved in the development of appropriately trained professionals.
Originality/value – The study provides indication of demand from a significant subset of influential
executives, providing support for the on-going progress of the integration of sustainability topics and
training in the curricula of business and other fields.
