4. Sustainability
One of the hottest topics for any businesses, and in many MBA programs is Sustainability. Whilst there are many facets of the topic of sustainability, and this topic may also cross-over into other key subjects within an MBA there is a growing need for modules focusing solely on sustainability.
This would cover ecological and social awareness, sustainable leadership and progressive thinking. Some programs put distinct focus on entrepreneurship as well as leadership skills and components like green technology.
It is widely accepted that sustainability, the environment, and energy economics represent some of the most challenging risks facing businesses today, as well as some of the most exciting opportunities. From climate change, environment to energy economics, the success of business in the future will depend on how companies address these challenges and align themselves with the needs of society and the environment.
Building a solid foundation of strategic thinking within the sustainability space is a vital part of many modern MBA programs.
