Course aim

In the face of climate change, biodiversity loss and global social injustice, sustainability is not a secondary consideration but central to long-term business success. By harming the planet we harm our opportunities for business growth and success, as well as our health, happiness and wellbeing. On the basis of insights into current and future challenges affecting businesses around the globe (including climate change, population dynamics, urbanization, inequity, etc.), students will learn to analyze their implications on business strategy, management and other core business functions. Students will develop a sense of dealing with trade-offs in global business and learn to understand drivers for change and innovative solutions.
