Part of the Principle of Responsible Management Education (PRME) series, the book promotes a strong voice for meeting sustainability challenges in a globalized world through management education. A transition to a more sustainable way of doing business can only be attained by combining technology with profound system innovations and lifestyle changes.

The book presents cases from business (including Ikea and Eataly) and other service networks, and illustrates how these organizations have transformed themselves for a sustainable future. The research perspectives are macro (policies, legislation), meso (institutional practices) and micro (business practices and individual behavior). The book is intended as a conceptual framing of transformation, innovation, and sustainability for educators, researchers, students and business, and also includes real-world case studies for business practice"--
