• COURSE OUTLINE AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION

  The course is organized along weekly meetings, or sometimes meets bi-weekly, depending on overall

  schedule of the Master’s program. The sessions last 3 hours each, and the course volume is 15

  teaching hours in one semester. The course is coupled with another course entitled “Sustainable

  Business Strategies in a Globalized Environment” and the 2 courses complement each other.

  The students are asked to complete advance reading each time prior to the meetings, with reading

  handed out to them one week prior to meeting discussion. Each reading is organized around a specific

  topic, which is then introduced, explained and discussed in the meetings. Students are asked to exert

  critical thinking and analysis in order to form a group opinion in view of debating on the topic.

  Depending on importance and scope of the topics, some issues discussed can extend over one single

  session. Also, additional business news documents (videos) related to sustainable practices in the

  corporate world can be played in order to facilitate student understanding of a given issue. Likewise,

  students are asked to think critically and provide perspectives along with matching justifications.
