摘要

Across the world it is recognized that business have to become more sustainable. Differentsustainability initiatives have started to emerge in educational settings, but still few educators areable to graduate business students with skills allowing them to manage the complexity ofsustainability within businesses. At the same time has Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) been recognized as one key strategy for pursuing sustainable development and theconcept is currently used as inspiration for new initiatives. The Swedish 2011 educational reformis one recent reform adjusted for ESD, but still few studies have investigated what effect ESDaspects have had in current learning for Swedish students. As ESD refer to knowledge, attitudesand empowerment at its absolutely core this study have focused on how business studentsperceive sustainability within business through interviews, and analyzed what effects theseperceptions have for students’ empowerment. The result was divided into both common aspectsand three categories to recognise the general similarities but also internal differences. Afteranalyzing the result with the concepts of ESD, Foucault’s power-knowledge, and Robertson’sglocalization it is concluded that there is a consistently and uneven understanding of the threeaspects of sustainability which hinder the students from getting empowered to act forsustainability within the field of business. It is further recognized that neither of the studentscould describe what economic sustainability is, and argued that a different teaching approach toeconomic aspects of sustainability would enable the students to better understand and act forsustainable business.
