This book has been among my resources for teaching different sustainability related courses for the past three years. I am teaching ‘Sustainability Oriented Innovation’ and ‘Business Ethics and Sustainability’ for different postgraduate programmes. What I like about the book is that every chapter can be taught separately in a way that reading one chapter and topic is not a prerequisite for the next chapter. I also very much appreciate the case studies where students can work in groups and discuss the case. Toloue Miandar, Assistant Professor at the Department of Management of University of Bologna
