Sustainability Marketing
The planet is facing a myriad of global challenges with significant ramifications for economy, society and environment. These are encapsulated in the UN¿s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This module is designed to highlight the role that marketing has played in exacerbating these challenges, and how it can now contribute to positive change via the promotion of more responsible products, practices, and brand values. It will investigate organisations¿ environmental and societal commitments and consider the marketing environment in which they exist. This will allow students to identify appropriate strategic responses that will lead to relevant and responsible market responses. They will learn how a sustainability-based approach impacts on the resource requirements needed to implement change whilst attempting to deliver measurable, value-driven and profitable solutions for an organisation.
For students seriously interested in this topic there will also be an opportunity to apply for a separate award and certification from the Carbon Literacy Trust, this will involve a nominal fee.

Creating Sustainable Value
The module combines case-based teaching with an introduction to the key MBA fields of technology management, operations management and marketing. The module takes an integrated approach to managing key aspects of technology, operations and marketing activities within an organisation. Rather than proceeding along conventional MBA disciplinary lines, as this method can often obscure the fundamental connections between them, the module takes a holistic approach to the way value is perceived and realized.
This is a case-based module, organised around the evaluation of management and business practices for enabling sustainable competitive advantage. Recognising that sustainable development in all its forms is a dilemma beyond the capacity of any single organization, business or state to meet, this module draws on the UN Sustainable Development Goals to guide a flexible and topical curriculum that can keep pace with international news. We will give students an experience where the various perspectives that derive from their own professional experience, cultural and national diversity and traditional MBA fields are brought to bear on cases of the challenges of economic and social sustainability.
