Course Content

Transforming organizations toward sustainability requires leaders to have astute competences to manage people at the workplace. It is imperative that every element, from the individual to group and organizational levels, have acceptable values, mindsets, and hence behaviors. By applying the basic tenet of input, process and output, this course will equip students with multidisciplinary knowledge and tools to shape the input (personal and situational factors), design the process (at three different levels), and ultimately achieve the output of sustainable organizational performance. Realizing sustainability as an increasingly global concern, the course also covers topics beyond the domestic arena, where challenges are more complex.
