This course provides an overview and comparative analysis of the major initiatives at the intersection of business development and environmental and social responsibility. Students explore and apply methodologies designed to help enterprises and conduct integrated sustainability audits of existing companies that are pursuing green business certification. These hands-on consulting projects allow students to become conversant in a broad array of eco-commerce models and green business strategies.
"Learning how to "breakdown" a project has been a fabulous tool for me in business. I am a Facilities/Project Manager by training and have to think "systemically" in my daily work day, however, getting fully engaged in a "project" for class and working on a "team" project takes you deeper into the process. How to use systemics and critical thinking in determining whether a project is ready "for the street" or whether it needs to be drilled deeper to get the core of what will make it successful. It's a study in chaos and systems planning. I find myself thinking about who will be my next "test case" - or victim!!!"
