Students develop a strong understanding of complex decision-making problems and their theoretical background in the context of sustainability from an economic and business management perspective. They will acquire an understanding of relationships and interdependencies in long-term, complex decision-making processes. They are able to understand decision-making conflicts when different interest groups are involved and to develop well-founded solutions. Students have the ability to understand interregional and intergenerational trade-offs in resource use and to discuss them carefully.

This module focuses on the economic and operational decisions in the context of sustainability. In particular (but not exclusively) decision- making problems relating to sustainable economic growth (SDG 8), innovations for sustainable infrastructure (SDG 9) and developments in sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) are analysed. The complex, interdependent challenges for sustainable decision-making are presented and the consequences discussed. Theoretical principles and practical experience with regard to the complexity behind achieving the SDGs are imparted
