Description
This study examined the extent to which environmental sustainability topics are embedded in course descriptions of business-related courses offered by British universities and how these course descriptions are related to formal commitment of universities to sustainability issues and selected organisational characteristics. This study is the first study to systematically analyse descriptions of 2758 business-related courses offered by all universities in the UK and therefore adds new comprehensive knowledge to the debate on education for sustainability and organisational hypocrisy.
