JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
Teaching About the Natural Environment in Management
Education
Carolyn Egri (Simon Fraser University) and Kate Rogers
(Pitzer College), Guest Editors
The Journal of Management Education invites submissions for
a special issue on "Teaching About the Natural Environment
in Management Education." We invite conceptual and
empirical articles that explore teaching and learning about
environmental sustainability in modern society and
organizations. Possible topics to be addressed include,
but are not limited to, the following:
· Is environmental sustainability relevant or irrelevant to
management education?
· What role(s) does environmental education have in the
undergraduate business curriculum? in the MBA curriculum?
in executive education?
· How should environmental sustainability be addressed in
business school curricula? as specialized programs,
required courses, elective courses, and/or integrated into
other business courses?
· What has been the experience of instructors who have
introduced environmental sustainability topics in their
courses and/or their business schools? Have they
encountered unique pedagogical and institutional
challenges? And if so, how have these been dealt with?
Which strategies have proven to be most effective?
· What are the essential environmental topics that business
students need to learn about? What theories, concepts and
models are relevant for understanding environmental problems
and issues? How do the topics or theories employed to
teach environmental sustainability support, challenge, or
modify perspectives in other areas of management education?
· Which pedagogical approaches/techniques have proven most
effective in enhancing student knowledge about
environmental issues and solutions? in influencing
students' environmental attitudes and behaviors?
One important purpose of this special issue will be to
provide an environmental education tool kit for both
experienced and new instructors. Therefore, we welcome
submissions that provide innovative pedagogical approaches,
exercises, activities, and simulations, as well as reviews
of environmental education instructional resources and
materials (textbooks, cases, videos, etc.).

submission of papers is April 22, 2002. Please prepare the
