MBA 783 - Leadership for Sustain Innov/Design

Semester Hours: 3

Leading for Sustainable Innovation and Design. In today’s increasingly globalized, competitive, and rapidly evolving business environment, an organization’s people can be a valuable source of innovation and sustained competitive advantage. The overarching purpose of this course is to help students develop leadership skills to realize these ends in the contexts of early-stage entrepreneurial “startups” and intrapreneurial enterprises embedded within established organizational contexts and cultures. Emphasis is placed on skills needed to create sustainable value, and visionary leadership practices that harness purpose-driven missions to disrupt business as usual by creating solutions to world challenges that are sustainable.
