Course description

In a complex and fast moving environment challenges like globalization, diversity, competition, and sustainability require organizations and their constituents to continuously adapt, innovate, and engage in long-term improvement processes. Organizations, on the one hand, need to broaden their traditional view of business. They are required to adopt long-term perspectives, combine profitability with sustainability, behave ethically, all the while managing various stakeholders' expectations.
