Corporate Social Innovation - combining Sustainability and Business - New course

Course Description

Corporate Social Innovation is centered round the triple bottom line, focusing on environment, social issues and economy. In other words it is not exclusively about innovation / making money, the two other elements are equally important. Any company, big or small, has to reflect on the fact that the earth’s resources are not unlimited and that social problems are a threat to stability. This course is about how companies have to adapt sustainability as a new megatrend, influencing everything from strategic considerations to minor procedures. The ambition of this course is to take theories into action.
