This article analyzes management scholars' recommendations for business managers on how to respond to climate change. It distinguishes recommendations by whether they propose responsiveness to climate change that aims for adaptation, mitigation, and resilience as short‐term orientations as well as transformation and regeneration as long‐term orientations. The analysis of 192 practical implications in 91 articles suggests that managers are recommended to make short‐term oriented adjustments to their business by adapting to the challenges and contributing to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. There are fewer recommendations on what measures managers should take to make businesses more resilient to the effects of climate change, how managers should contribute to the transformational needs of society, and how business models could be designed that support long‐term climate mitigation. The article provides an overview of the recommendations in the reviewed social scientific management literature and discusses further avenues for understanding and advancing the role of business toward climate‐friendly markets and society
