MBAD630

Businesses operate in an environment of increased expectations, changing environmental constraints, and regulatory upheaval. By investigating the complex set of interrelationships among business, the natural environment and other stakeholders, this course will explore the challenges of leading a business sustainably in a manner that generates competitive advantage, while maintaining responsible practices to protect People, Planet and Profits. Throughout this course, students will explore strategies that lead to opportunity, sound corporate governance, and sustainability through socially responsible activities. Finally, students will be learning about, what Rae Andre argues is, a strong rather than weak sustainability approach, by focusing on leadership for the planet rather than leadership for individual companies alone.
