Business has an urgent need to reconsider the way it interacts with and contributes to society. In this course students will identify and evaluate major contemporary global challenges and trends impacting society and explore business opportunities for driving sustainable innovation. This course gives students a view of the evolving relationship between business and society, and how both exist and respond to external contexts and pressures. Students will be asked to interpret this relationship in the context of environmental, regulatory, diversity, political, human rights, and consumer rights contexts. The course will bring real world examples and case studies of these social dynamics into classes and assignments for students' consideration. Students will also be invited to reflect on their values, strengths, and interpretation of success in their career, and will engage with various feedback methods to develop a professional sense that can contribute to positive changes in the world. They will also work with one another in classrooms and assignments to build communication and collaboration skills in these areas. Ultimately, Business in Society leads students toward being active participants in interpreting and responding to the changing global business environment.
