Description

Same as module MT340, this module focuses on sustainability as an organizational practice. We will spend less time on studying sustainability as a theoretical concept and more time on how organizations can embrace and pursue sustainability as a practice through their activities. As future business leaders and managerial decision makers, you will be expected to understand the various socio-economic-environmental-political issues surrounding organizations and institutions, and act in ways that are not only beneficial for the organizations you represent, but also for the planet. This approach has never been more more crucial than now with the climate deteriorating and social concerns garnering attention across the globe. The course will attempt to provide a first step in helping you prepare for such future.

Learning Outcomes

1. Understand the concepts of sustainability, responsible management and responsible leadership from a practical perspective by going beyond theoretical engagement. Be able to apply theoretical concepts to real world cases and provide recommendations. Show an initiative behavior as students are encouraged to select the topics and cases of their choice which also means that they need to justify their choices.
