Postgraduate
Description
This subject provides students with systems frameworks, tools and sustainable business models to analyse business opportunities arising from complex issues related to grand sustainability challenges. It equips students to systematically understand and analyse the dynamic interrelationships and interdependencies between business, society and the natural environment. Conceptualising business as a multi-scalar activity system, students are encouraged to explore new sustainable business models that generate value for the natural environment, society and the economy. Such sustainability transitions are positioned as opportunities for business to proactively engage with sustainability issues. Capabilities for leading transitions are identified and students reflect on how such approaches could be implemented within existing corporations and small-medium sized organisations.
