Exploring the Use of Case-Based Learning for Teaching Sustainable Practices in Business Schools

Case-based learning (CBL) has emerged as a powerful pedagogical approach for fostering sustainability education in business schools. This study explores the effectiveness of CBL in enhancing students' understanding, critical thinking, and decision-making skills related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through an analysis of case studies focusing on sustainability challenges and business solutions, the research examines how experiential learning influences students’ ability to integrate sustainability concepts into management practices. The findings highlight the benefits of real-world problem-solving, student engagement, and the development of ethical leadership skills. However, challenges such as limited availability of sustainability-focused case studies and faculty training gaps are also discussed. The study provides recommendations for enhancing CBL approaches in business education to better equip future managers with sustainability competencies.
