This course is built on the fundamental premise that implementing corporate sustainability and sustainable (resource) management is primarily a strategic and organizational problem. As such, the module will provide the students with a solid understanding in strategy and organization from a sustainability perspective and pursues the “sustainability problem” by trying to answer three questions. WHY should companies move beyond serving merely economic purposes? WHAT makes a sustainable company, e.g. how would key business functions look like and which key instruments exist? And finally, HOW can managers (you?) build a sustainable business model and a sustainable firm and unfold it over time, i.e. which change and learning process efforts are important in this endeavor?   

We accomplish the course objectives through the following teaching methods. The first part (“Vorlesung”) is characterized by engaging students in active learning, based on theoretical foundations, highly interactive lectures, case studies coupled with plenary discussions, and by providing evidences thanks to managers’ leadership examples. If possible, guest instructors will be invited. The second part (“Seminar) is dedicated to in-depth case studies and research papers, both to be developed by students, with the help of feedback (by peers and instructor). It is absolutely necessary that students prepare all sessions according to the syllabus.
