Business & Society
MGT 422
Course Description:
The Business & Society short course will provide an introduction to the evolving role and responsibilities of business in the 21st century, and the developing opportunities for business to address society's most pressing concerns. This course will overview the content and curriculum of two new courses at Owen - Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability (offered in Mod 2 & 4) and Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation (offered Mod 3) - that have been developed by Professor Jim Schorr to build out Owen's curriculum offering in areas relating to the social and environmental areas of business. These areas are of growing importance in business today - nearly all leading companies have implemented substantive corporate responsibility & sustainability initiatives, while a growing movement of "social entrepreneurs" is successfully applying business solutions to society's most pressing social and environmental problems. The Business & Society short course will deliver a succinct but thorough overview of the ways in which the power of business is increasingly being leveraged to create a more socially and environmentally sustainable world.
