Apasionada por el estudio de la sustentabilidad y como ésta puede revolucionar el modo de hacer negocios en el mundo actual. En su investigación, estudia este fenómeno complejo, usando una variedad de lentes y examinándolo a varios niveles: desde cómo las personas conciben y movilizan desafíos referidos a la sustentabilidad, como las empresas y las industrias adaptan sus estrategias a la luz de la misma, y como la orientación a la sustentabilidad puede contribuir a una mejora de las comunidades y sus medios de vida a partir de la innovación social. Su sueño es promover desde el aula una cultura de líderes y ciudadanos responsables (no meros gerentes) que puedan dar respuestas al desafío de la sustentabilidad global.
