Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present an innovative and transformative online approach to sustainable development in management education. Design/methodology/approach: A case study and action research were carried out in a Brazilian business school during an academic semester. Specifically, in the context of a discipline entitled "Socio-environmental Management in Companies", several pedagogical strategies were designed and implemented to ensure undergraduate students' learning. This study involved the collection and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data from multiple sources, which were analysed using descriptive statistics, thematic and content analysis techniques. Findings: By assessing the strategies, tools and resources used during the course, the findings of this study show that the discipline supported the students' transformative learning towards sustainability. Research limitations/implications: This study has both theoretical and practical implications by describing and evaluating an innovative and engaging pedagogical approach to sustainable development in management education. Originality/value: The approach developed through this research provides educators and higher education institutions with innovative strategies for transformative learning towards sustainability in management education. Moreover, the approach can be adapted and implemented in other fields of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under the current context of crisis, we understand that the sustainable development becomes as an alternative of production system to be adopted, even with his contradictions. The discussions realized consider the idea of interaction between actors from a vision of interdependence between production, marketing and consumption, which in a practical perspective involves several levels that can be related to sustainable consumption. From this dynamic entanglement at different levels, this study aims to comprehend the approach of sustainable consumption from Complexity Theory. For this, assume greater complexity of existing competitors, antagonistic and complementary actions conditions, since it considers the idea of production and consumption 'involved' and related to sustainability. In the form of a theoretical essay, we seek to understand how the joints occur and convergences between the themes, using the principles of complexity as the basis for its construction. Thus, the main contribution of the study involves the development of this bridge between production and consumption, by the recursive interaction between them, from the perspective of complexity theory, which until then had been little considered.
