Transformative Trajectories in Management Education: Navigating Social-Ecological Crises

Abstract

This paper investigates transformative trajectories in management education to respond to modern social-ecological crises which call for systemic and holistic change. Examining fundamental questions, such as "why, what, where, when, and who" from a social-ecological system perspective and answering "how" by bringing social innovation into the conversation, this research will engage with civic ME to engender social-ecological flourishing. The research will use a qualitative approach, where interviews and focus groups are employed to analyze key themes and insights. The findings of the research highlight the importance of a comprehensive definition of transformation, specific strategies for practical implementation, enhanced social-ecological systems integration, coherent social innovation incorporation, and concrete scaling pathways for civic ME. The study concludes offering actionable steps for educators while mentioning the need for further studies using diverse methodologies to facilitate adaptability and scalability.
