The article "Sowing the seeds of change: calling for a social-ecological approach to management learning and education" by Laura A. Colombo, Christine Moser, Katrin Muehlfeld, and Simy Joy calls for a shift in management learning and education (MLE) toward a social-ecological approach. The authors argue that current MLE practices have contributed to ecological crises by promoting narrow, mechanistic views of business and economics, fostering a culture of greed. In response to the accelerating ecological and climate crises, the authors advocate for a new approach that integrates social and ecological systems, emphasizing the interdependence between environment, society, and business. This approach recognizes that business is a human construct and that humans are ecological beings, embedded within complex social-ecological systems. The authors suggest that MLE should be centered around promoting human and ecological flourishing, as business survival depends on these systems. The article outlines five areas of inquiry for management educators and scholars to explore in developing a social-ecological approach to MLE. These include examining the purpose of MLE, cultivating a social-ecological approach in the classroom, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, critically examining teaching content, and paying attention to teaching methods and practices. The authors emphasize the need for critical thinking, eco-literacy, and a pedagogy that empowers students to question and transform their reality, including contributing solutions to tackle climate and ecological breakdown. They also call for a rethinking of assessment to move away from grade-driven and competitive forms toward feedback-based approaches that balance individual and team accountability. The authors conclude that the time to transform MLE and make it future-proof is now. They urge management educators and business school leaders to take action individually, collectively, and institutionally to contribute scholarship that pushes boundaries and transforms MLE as we know it. The article highlights the urgent need for a social-ecological approach to MLE to address the ecological and climate crises and to move toward a just and sustainable future.The article "Sowing the seeds of change: calling for a social-ecological approach to management learning and education" by Laura A.
