INQ-277 | Sustainable Business: The Next Industrial Revolution

Topic Description:

This course focuses on the topic of sustainable business which is one that seeks to accomplish not only profit oriented goals but also ones that seek to protect the natural environment (a societal concern) and promote social justice. This course will examine the principles and theoretical concepts behind sustainable business. A review of events that are social and environmental consequences of non-sustainable business activities will be followed by numerous case studies of businesses that are successful and sustainable. Regional sustainable businesses will be visited.
