| Title |
Environmental and Social Sustainability Strategies in Small and Large Organizations |
| Description |
How do large and small organizations deal with sustainability challenges? What are the implications for strategies and business models?
This course dives into the concepts of environmental and social organizational sustainability to understand what kinds of strategies organizations apply to deal with sustainability challenges. It starts with mapping the different drivers of organizational sustainability and what this implies for the re/pro-active actions of organizations. It then considers how different sizes of organizations, from startups to multinational corporations address these challenges: How do they differ in their approaches, what similarities can be found? What are the challenges and/or opportunities related to each type of organizational size? The course then moves to discuss the circular business models and the related topic of supply chain sustainability. Finally, it moves towards understanding how to assess/measure sustainability issues and discusses how potential tensions between social, environmental, and financial goals might arise and how they can be resolved.
Particular key questions that are addressed during this course:
What is organizational (environmental and social) sustainability?
What are the drivers of organizational sustainability?
What types of sustainability strategies exist; how do they differ?
How do larger organizations, SMEs and entrepreneurs pursue sustainability strategies?
What are the challenges and opportunities for sustainability strategies?
The course will be a mixture of classical lecture with slides and case studies with illustrative examples. The course will leave enough room for critical open discussions. Two guest lectures (representatives from 1 large and 1 small organization) will complement the knowledge from a practical perspective. In the final sessions, student will hold presentations of their group work. |
