A chapter from the HEA's publication Enhancing education for sustainable development in Business and Management Hospitality Leisure Marketing Tourism.
Gaining recognition of the stake that society has in the success of business schools and business education in the UK may be a challenge but it is also a responsibility and an opportunity we have to grasp. To ensure our achievements continue we are required to re-examine and confront many established assumptions and practices underpinning success over the past two decades. With this in mind these chapters come at a most appropriate time.
The combination of sectoral analysis and detailed innovative practical case studies presented here mainly from the UK but also from Australia Finland Ireland Spain and the US provide an insight into a world of rapid development and transformation. In this way the UK&'s business schools can respond to the global challenge presented to them and encourage students to become graduates who both understand the context and are able to practise in a sustainable way.
