| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to assess the state of management efforts
towards sustainability in higher education institutions. The analysis is
based on two main sources of data. On the one hand an analysis of the
performance level of one institution using single case study. On the other
hand a secondary analysis of case-studies from around the globe.
Sustainability its being integrated into management objectives in higher
education institutions. The analysis shows that sustainability-oriented
practices are being developed in complex ways due to its variety of contexts
of application. This research provides a state of the art regarding
sustainability in higher education institutions. It has the potential to aid any
organization to better reflect, incorporate and institutionalise sustainability
related concepts. However, this research is limited by the time and funding
to be able to analyse a global phenomenon. | sv |
