Taking into consideration the impact of significant events such as the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic, you’ll also evaluate whether “Business-as-Usual” approaches are still aligned with 21st century challenges.
You’ll learn to broaden your scope of decision-making and will gain a deeper appreciation of the elements of a business model that are suitable for the modern world. The course features insights from prominent business leaders into essential topics such as stakeholder capitalism, the license to operate, and business’ obligations to society.
