An Assessment of Sustainability Integration and Communication in Canadian MBA Programs
Driscoll, Cathy; Price, Shelley; McKee, Margaret; Nicholls, Jason
Journal of Academic Ethics, v15 n2 p93-114 Jun 2017
This paper explores how sustainability has been integrated into and communicated in Canadian Master's of Business Administration (MBA) programs. We content analyzed university, business school, and MBA program mission and values statements; communicated strategic priorities; and relevant academic calendar content, as well as sustainability rankings and select media depictions of sustainable MBA programs and practices. We explore the potential for greenwashing practices in relation to the integration of sustainability in business education. We found some evidence of a decoupling between university and/or business school mission and claims, and MBA policies and practices. We conclude with a discussion of our findings, study limitations and some relevant implications for academia.
