Sustainable Management Futures_Module 3000 words

Sustainable management is an overarching term that generally refers to the ethical, responsible, innovative, 'daring to care' form of management. The module traces the development of our current ideas on sustainable management including three main connected dimensions: the discussion of ethical issues and theoretical frameworks relevant for both individuals and organisations; an overview of the ideas concerning corporate social responsibility; and the exploration of the concept of sustainability, including respect for people, for the environment and concern for economic prosperity. Throughout the module, a critical approach to the different elements will be included. We expect that the discussion on ethical concepts and values will equip students to critically evaluate the conduct of individuals, stakeholder groups and organisations themselves, as well as the policy prescriptions of governmental authorities and corporate governance
