Sustainability in International Business: Navigating Grand Challenges
About
Our economies and societies face severe contemporary grand challenges, amongst them climate change, biodiversity loss and scarcity of natural resources. In many ways, these issues also contest equitable and resilient societies. Grand challenges call for awareness and responsible business practices more than ever before, and the inherent global in the nature of both, grand challenges and international business, makes addressing these topics integral to contemporary business studies. Multinational companies are not only expected to engage in business, but also to act as global citizens.
The course deals with the complex relation between international business and grand challenges. The course fosters insights into responsible international business practices and equips the students with perspectives to understand and navigate a complex international business landscape under the contemporary context conditions.
Students will be introduced to a variety of theoretical viewpoints capturing different levels and actor perspectives. The course also involves practical perspectives.
This course is open to
Exchange students at the School of Business, Economics and Law and exchange students on a university-wide agreement. Please contact your international coordinator at the University of Gothenburg (School of Business, Economics and Law) if you need to know more.
