Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess the main factors that contribute to teaching and learning sustainability in management education (SiME), which is defined as a body of knowledge that meets the needs of both current and future generations of students.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors adopt the Biggs’ Presage–Process–Product (3P) learning model to guide and categorize the findings from the literature review on SiME. This study provides an overview of journal articles published between 2002 and 2017.
Findings
In the context of SiME, Biggs’ 3P model shows how teaching context and students’ background (presage factors) influence students’ approaches to learning, which can range from surface to deep learning (process) and result in various learning outcomes (products).
Research limitations/implications
The literature review may have excluded important and relevant work from the sample.
Practical implications
This review highlights that personal and institutional commitments are necessary to promote effective learning of sustainability.
Social implications
Effective learning outcomes (deep learning) in sustainability should encourage students to reflect on their personal values and behaviors and to acquire analytical skills aimed at promoting conservation and remediation of social, environmental and economic problems.
Originality/value
This paper provides an application of Biggs’ 3P learning model in the context of sustainability, which highlights the conditions for deep learning as critical given the complexity and urgency of addressing sustainability crises.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to propose a framework based on the main theoretical and empirical contributions present in the literature and articulate the main paths for future studies in knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE).
Design/methodology/approach
Using the systematic review method from a survey of 85 articles, related to the KIE focal issue, originated from the Web of Science, it was possible to exhaustively analyze the studies and to divide the theme into key categories.
Findings
The present research has raised the relationship of five categories to KIE conceptualizations; the data suggest that although the literature indicates a distancing from KIE research, there are multidisciplinary themes and approaches interlinked in the studies.
Originality/value
The systematic approach in the main theoretical and empirical contributions in KIE enabled us to relate five categories (entrepreneurs, innovation, internationalization, location and triple alliance), and finally, to understand the gaps suggested by the researchers.
Objetivo
El objetivo de este estudio es proponer un marco basado en las principales aportaciones teóricas y empíricas presentes en la literatura y articular los principales caminos para estudios futuros en Emprendimiento Intensivo y Conocimiento-EIC.
Diseño/metodología/aproximación
Una revisión sistemática de 85 artículos, relacionados con el tema focal del EIC, se originó en la Web of Science, permitió analizar exhaustivamente los estudios y dividir el tema en categorías clave.
Resultados
La presente investigación ha planteado la relación de cinco categorías con las conceptualizaciones EIC; nuestros datos sugieren que aunque la literatura indica un distanciamiento de la investigación EIC, hay temas y enfoques multidisciplinares interrelacionados en los estudios.
Originalidad/valor
El enfoque sistemático en las principales contribuciones teóricas y empíricas en EIC nos permitió relacionar cinco categorías (empresarios, innovación, internacionalización, ubicación y triple alianza) y, finalmente, comprender las brechas sugeridas por los investigadores.

O objetivo deste estudo é propor uma estrutura baseada nas principais contribuições teóricas e empíricas presentes na literatura e articular os principais caminhos para futuros estudos em Empreendedorismo Intensivo em Conhecimento-EIC.
Design/metodologia/abordagem
Utilizando o método de revisão sistemática a partir de uma pesquisa de 85 artigos, relacionada à questão focal do EIC originada da Web of Science, foi possível analisar exaustivamente os estudos e dividir o tema em categorias-chave.
Resultados
A presente pesquisa levantou a relação de cinco categorias para conceituações EIC. Nossos dados sugerem que, embora a literatura indique um distanciamento da pesquisa do EIC, existem temas e abordagens multidisciplinares interligadas nos estudos.
Originalidade/valor
A abordagem sistemática nas principais contribuições teóricas e empíricas do EIC permitiu relacionar cinco categorias (empreendedores, inovação, internacionalização, localização e tripla aliança) e, finalmente, compreender as lacunas sugeridas pelos pesquisadores.

Abstract
We present a critical literature review debating Brazilian research on social and environmental accounting (SEA). The aim of this study is to understand the role of politics in the construction of hegemonies in SEA research in Brazil. In particular, we examine the role of hegemony in relation to the co-option of SEA literature and sustainability in the Brazilian context by the logic of development for economic growth in emerging economies. The methodological approach adopts a post-structural perspective that reflects Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory. The study employs a hermeneutical, rhetorical approach to understand and classify 352 Brazilian research articles on SEA. We employ Brown and Fraser’s (2006) categorizations of SEA literature to help in our analysis: the business case, the stakeholder–accountability approach, and the critical case. We argue that the business case is prominent in Brazilian studies. Second-stage analysis suggests that the major themes under discussion include measurement, consulting, and descriptive approach. We argue that these themes illustrate the degree of influence of the hegemonic politics relevant to emerging economics, as these themes predominantly concern economic growth and a capitalist context. This paper discusses trends and practices in the Brazilian literature on SEA and argues that the focus means that SEA avoids critical debates of the role of capitalist logics in an emerging economy concerning sustainability. We urge the Brazilian academy to understand the implications of its reifying agenda and engage, counter-hegemonically, in a social and political agenda beyond the hegemonic support of a particular set of capitalist interests.

Abstract
Though poverty is one of the consequences of the lack of education, this latter can be the solution to poverty, particularly when children and youngsters are prioritized in school. And in the fight against inequality, education for the development of human beings is the key, especially if we want to save children and adolescents in order to guarantee the future.
