To support this transformation, the research reviews t he knowledge-base, activities, and tools of management accounting and suggests how to incorpora te sustainability principles and criteria into the curriculum within a community college in B ritish Columbia (BC) that has established sustainability as a strategic goal. Action researc h interviews explore how the management accounting curriculum within the school of business could be enhanced to support organizations – and by extension society – in embedding sustainab il ty into practice, and identifies recommendations for curriculum re-design at the dep artment level, and key elements of changemaking to enable it. |
