Developing a sustainability mindset requires a transdisciplinary approach to business education that integrates a rational-analytic mode of thinking and an emotive-holistic understanding of the human mind. In order to cultivate the sustainability mindset of business students, we have designed a contemplative art-based project involving the creation of an electronic portfolio which consists of a student's digital photographs. We have integrated it into our teaching of management courses in the United States, Russia, and Germany, respectively. The project aims to enable business students to become more visually attentive and environmentally conscious, so that they will pay close attention to the process of building more sustainable relationships within their natural and social environments. From the interpretative phenomenological perspective, we have analyzed the students' e-portfolios in order to understand how business students make sense of environmental and human sustainability. While envisioning more transformative sustainability management education, we have also discussed the pedagogical implications of making the e-portfolios for enhancing the students' understanding of the sustainability mindset.

培养可持续发展的心态需要一种跨学科的商业教育方法，这种方法将理性分析思维模式和对人类思维的情感整体理解相结合。为了培养商科学生的可持续性思维，我们设计了一个以艺术为基础的沉思项目，包括创建由学生的数码照片组成的电子作品集。我们已将其融入我们分别在美国、俄罗斯和德国的管理课程教学中。该项目旨在使商科学生变得更加注重视觉和环境意识，以便他们密切关注在自然和社会环境中建立更可持续关系的过程。从解释性现象学的角度来看，我们分析了学生的电子档案，以了解商科学生如何理解环境和人类的可持续性。在设想更具变革性的可持续性管理教育的同时，我们还讨论了制作电子档案袋以增强学生对可持续性思维方式的理解的教学意义。
