  • 1.  Advice on teaching materials and syllabus for a sustainability course

    Posted 08-29-2016 03:02
    Dear all,
    I am preparing a sustainability course for MBA students. I intend to teach it from a multidisciplinary perspective. I wonder if you can share with me some of your experience, teaching ideas, text or syllabus. Any advice will be welcome and appreciated. 
    Thank you. 
    Best,
    Jane

    Hi Jane,
    The Patagonia case from HBS is great and there is also a good video about Yvon Chouinard (from Patagonia) on youtube.  Yvon wrote a book called "Let My People Go Surfing" which sets the standard for sustainability.  The shared value concept (see Tedtalk by Michael Porter) is also helpful.

    Good luck!

    Kind regards,
