Assignment:

Your task is to prepare

Case study on the following topic. The case study must integrate relevant concepts and theory with practical application using company examples.

What role should managers play in enabling sustainability in their organisations?

In this case study

Discuss this question, applying a critical eye to the propositions that are to be found in the business and management literature. Consider addressing questions, such as:

What is the primary responsibility of for-profit (and also public sector and non-profit) managers?
What are the types or categories of stakeholders to whom/which managers must pay attention to, and what interests do they have? Are these competing interests? If so, how should managers handle these?
How does sustainability relate to performance? Should managers only engage with sustainable practice if there's a clear connection to financial performance? Or, is there more that they should pay attention to?

Select one aspect of sustainability and construct the case study around this. Perhaps you'll want to discuss the role of managers in broad terms, and then focus specifically on the application of the role of managers to the selected aspect of sustainability. For example, sustainable employment; or so-called, decent work; or environmental sustainability in the workplace, or business sustainability.

The case study must blend description with critical thought and analysis regarding the challenges that managers face in addressing sustainability. It is important to define the scope and meaning of this construct early in the presentation and ensure that your content is consistent with this definition. You may choose to use a specific organisation as an example.
