“…As is evident, the paradigm shift in business requires a society‐wide effort of re‐imagining our future (Gümüsay & Reinecke, 2022). It is an effort of cross‐sectoral activism (Böhm et al, 2023; Skoglund & Böhm, 2022) that is focused on co‐creation and collaboration, rather than only competition. We cannot solve many of today's ecological and social challenges without collective efforts that include diverse perspectives from around the world (Antonacopoulou, 2022).…”

This Agenda 2050 piece is a call to action for management scholars to follow the lead of business associations, foundations, and businesses in studying and understanding the transformative change needed to bring about a more equitable and flourishing world for all living beings—including humans and other‐than‐humans. These entities advocate for a significant paradigm shift in how business is practiced as a way of responding to ‘polycrisis’—the interrelated set of civilization‐threatening crises that includes climate change, social inequality, and biodiversity loss. Yet management scholars lag behind business discourse with issues of sustainability and ecological flourishing, adapting to the type of leadership needed for the future, and understanding the need for system change. We provide four keystone pathways to help scholars shape future discourse in business scholarship, practice, and curricula: 1) structural changes to management education, 2) piloting social impact, 3) development of regenerative business models, and 4) moral, legal, and financial cases for action.

Is the university as we know it dead? Monika Kostera thinks not, but across the globe universities are under attack, be it by external forces or from within. Will they survive? Our civilization requires that they must: planetary survival and sustainability depend on them. This book provides vital resources to give us all—professional academics, students, and university administrators—hope that universities will emerge renewed out of the current crisis. It inspires all of us to practice, collectively and consciously, academic virtues: kindness, diligence, patience, temperance, chaste desire, humility, and collegiality. These virtues can help reduce some of the detrimental aspects of a prevalent culture of vice, conflict, and violence that we witness, experience, and are complicit in, both within our universities and beyond. As the book shows, the practice of academic virtues can enable us to cultivate awareness of the common good that academia serves: the preservation and development of humanity’s potential of knowledge. Drawing on a rich variety of ideas, theories, empirical cases, real and fictitious stories, as well as examples and images from art and literature, Monika Kostera demonstrates the splendid complexity of academic ecosystems. It is through looking for hope for the university that we find hope for society and the planet. The two are inextricably linked: you cannot have one without the other! In suggesting tangible steps for restoring a sense of meaning to academic work and the collegial community worldwide, The University of Hope shows us a path out of the darkness.
