Course Description
This course examines the emergence of a new story about business. This new
story locates business within a societal framework. Almost every business
creates or destroys value for customers, suppliers, employees, communities and
society, in addition to shareholders and other financiers. A number of new
models of business can be built on this idea such as corporate responsibility,
philanthropy, shared value and sustainability. Profits and stakeholder value
go together, and this course explains how. The final session explores the idea
of how to become a stakeholder entrepreneur and create a business that makes
money and makes the world a better place.
