Objectifs
The environment of our organizations is becoming more and more complex. The classical and dominant management systems are being seriously challenged. This course will propose an in-depth look at the paradigms from which the main existing management models have been generated, in order to understand their contexts and evolution.
More recently introduced organizational- and management models integrate a certain awareness of our organizations being living systems. This course will analyze parallels between other living systems and human organizations in their way of emerging and functioning.
Design thinking will be presented as a tool to build on this knowledge to design ecosystemic interactions for more sustainable organizations, achieving positive results in terms of a triple bottomline (3BL): social, environmental, economical.
The course will evaluate practical applications for sustainable organizations which are found in innovative socioeconomic concepts and principles like Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) performance, Social Entrepreneurship, Business Ethics and Social Marketing.
Estimation of private study (outside of contact hours): 20 hours
DIMENSION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
This course will look at the enterprise as a socially and environmentally responsible citizen and question the opportunity for purpose and economic steadiness in order to be performant and sustainable.
