This is a 15 EC (30 UK credits) module delivered in the first semester of the MSc Global Sustainable Business Management. It is developed for those of you who have varying business and management subject experience and reflect some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN)*. The aim of the module is to evaluate sustainable business models by utilising five streams: (i) Responsible Strategy, (ii) Sustainable Marketing, (iii) Socially Responsible Finance, (iv) Corporate Governance and (v) Sustainable Operations. During your learning journey you will evaluate how each of the five streams contributes to the sustainable competitive advantage of a company in a responsible and sustainable way and hence enable the firm to achieve its multi-faceted strategic objectives.
A capstone activity within your learning is the away day ‘Strategy for a Sustainable Future’ offered by the Digital Society School (part of AUAS).
