6 Conclusion
In seeking to spread sustainable development through the university, a number of initiatives have emerged from the program. Apart from the theses, books, seminars and
demonstrations within the university, a further example of the impact of the program
is the joint management of the international conference of the AFBE—the Asian
Forum of Business Education. The conference was held recently in Phuket on the
theme of “Creativity and Innovation for Smart Societies and Sustainable Development”. The conference was managed through the university’s International College,
which was established for the all international programs of which the international
Ph.D. program is the major activity at present. Including sustainable development as
the theme for business educators is seen as an output of this program of academic
strengthening through an emphasis sustainable development.
The program outlined in this paper is a modest example of a viable means of
integrating sustainable development into a university that builds on an intention to
strengthen the academy by use of a multi-disciplinary international Ph.D. in sustainable development.
