MGMT 6823 - The Sustainable Business Opportunity

This course examines the negative impact of a rapidly growing global economy on the natural and human environment. It shows that the need to create a more sustainable global economy represents a huge opportunity for business and how sustainability-based strategies drive innovation, competitive advantage and improved financial performance. It will examine both environmental aspects of sustainability like green supply chains, lifecycle analysis, energy and water efficiency, as well as initiatives that nurture and enhance the value of our human resources such as community development, employee and customer relations, employee wellness, telecommuting, and other stakeholder engagement in sustainability.
