Associate Lecturer - Business in Society (HE7)

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 markets, social and environmental pressures. Students are invited to reflect on their strengths, talents and what success means. Students will conduct an environmental scan of professional worlds and engage with various reflection and feedback methods to situate themselves within these worlds. As a result, students begin to develop a professional sense that can contribute to positive changes in the world. This will be structured in the context of a reflective portfolio that communicates their vision and emerging professional self to various audiences. As a future business professional, this will equip students to deal with the unexpected, shape their own lives and contribute to the well-being of others. For our course, we will not adopt a passive position, as we are also consumers in society. We will partner with students in developing their professional identity, through active learning and reflection through case studies and problem solving. Business in Society students and teachers are active participants, in a global call for action, for ethical business behaviour, human rights and management of stakeholders including government. Students will learn about diversity and inclusion, and reflect on how business models change.
