The module provides a foundation for exploring the relationship between organisations (public and private) and sustainability. Key issues are covered including: - the origins and evolution of sustainability at a societal and organisational level - the factors prompting sustainable practices and the business case for sustainability- key theories, frameworks and models related to sustainability - case studies outlining differing approaches/issues related to sustainability and the adoption of sustainable business practices.Through studying the module, students will appreciate the complexities associated with sustainability and be able to discuss and debate these complexities in an informed and critical manner.

The module provides a foundation for exploring enterprise, innovation and sustainability. Key issues covered include:- Enterprise, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs.- Sustainable Development Goals and the potential for entrepreneurship and innovation to address them.- Ideas and opportunities, and creative techniques for generating business ideas.- Innovation and invention. Sources/ drivers of innovation, the 10 types of innovation, innovation strategies, and implementing change and overcoming barriers to innovation.- Feasibility analysis, including industry and market feasibility analysis, financial feasibility analysis and entrepreneur feasibility analysis.- Why business models matter. Business Model Canvas in full detail. Lean start-up. Case examples.Through studying the module, students will appreciate the complexities associated with entrepreneurship and be able to discuss and debate these complexities in an informed and critical manner.

Students will have the opportunity to examine current practice in supply chains/networks and organisational operations ( including, but not limited to design, procurement and logistics) and contrast mainstream approaches to these practices with viewpoints which emphasise sustainability best practices in the evaluation and delivery of these functions. The module will help to identify the key drivers that incentivise or mandate the adoption of sustainability best-practices across a range of levels from Government policy to consumer pressure as well as the potential barriers or restraining forces which may impede the adoption of such. Students will have the opportunity to evaluate such practices in an organisational setting (their own, or another with which they are familiar), design and set out rational arguments for appropriate targets for change and set out plans to effectively deliver such change in the organisational setting.

This module is designed to help students develop and demonstrate the skills required to carry out a substantial individual project in a chosen aspect of business and sustainability. Core skills for conducting the individual project are first developed through guided online learning. At the start of the research project students are allocated a supervisor who will work with the student on a one-to-one basis and may also facilitate some small group meetings in addition to one-to-one supervision.

The module provides students with an insight into select economic theories and concepts and their practical application.Students will learn about the relationship (and associated complexities) between economics and sustainability considering this relationship from a variety of perspectives e.g., neoclassical and environmental approaches.The module seeks to progress the students' insights by introducing contemporary and innovative approaches to the subject area, for example steady-state, circular and doughnut economics.
