Summary/Abstract: Perceptions of management education have evolved with the changes in the nature of conducting business. New approaches recognize the legitimacy of the company’s investment in sustainable development associated with incurring costs in the short term as long as they contribute to increase profits and shareholder value in the long term. The modern system of management education can and should support a change in behavior and mentality of management team associated with this approach. The task of the lecturer becomes such focus on the teaching process so that students learnt to implement the concept of sustainable development in business operations without imposing solutions in this field issued by superior authority. The above transformation requires both from instructors and universities the use of complex and precise techniques and instruments. The aim of this paper is to provide guidance and solutions in this field.
