Sažetak
Over the last decade, the importance that Society has attributed to
sustainability has grown exponentially – to the point of becoming
one of its main concerns. The scientific community, albeit with differing
opinions regarding the foreseeable evolution of possible
scenarios, unanimously agrees that a rapid, joint, global and coordinated
response must be acted upon in order to reverse the current
situation. The research work that is presented here focusses specifically
on identifying the necessary changes to be implemented both
in universities and business schools (BSs), in order to significantly
contribute to moving society towards a more sustainable scenario.
Although this research work was on the Spanish market, it seems
that most of the conclusions could be applicable to other countries.
A combination of techniques, both quantitative (questionnaires and
data analysis of reports, webs, etc.) and qualitative (focus groups,
interviews, etc) has been applied to obtain important conclusions,
among which the following should be highlighted: specific education
programmes should be introduced for business schools and
university lecturers; key programmes such as MBAs should include a
number of sustainability-specific subjects, and these moves should
be implemented as a mid- to long-term strategy policy.
