- Title
Sustainability and Business: Book Reviews of Theoretical and Applied Issues.
- Authors

- Abstract
Business schools are increasingly engaging with sustainability as an important issue to be addressed in the curriculum. Traditional courses such as principles of management and marketing, Business and Society/Social Issues in Business, and Strategic Management are convenient curricular options for such content, however an increasing number of specialty courses related to environmental sustainability are emerging. Identifying useful literature to address both theoretical and applied issues in these courses is important. This review offers an analysis of two highly regarded books that address these issues from different perspectives. Dieter Helm's, Natural Capital: Valuing the Planet, provides a rigorous examination of environmental issues and their implications from a strong theoretical framework drawing on economic theory. Whereas, McKenzie Funk's, Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming, provides a grittier analysis of real-word business practices that get beyond the idealistic to challenging business opportunities and threats. Together these books provide fertile conceptual and applied insights for discussion in a variety of courses in the current and evolving business school program of studies.
