Start Date between Nov 22 and Nov 25

The module provides an initial understanding of core concepts related to leadership and change management. Following on from this students will develop their knowledge, skills and insights through investigating and critically analysing key issues associated with leading and managing sustainability related change. The module enables students to develop professionally through structured self-reflection focusing on their ability to affect change and subsequently identifying areas for ongoing personal development. The module makes significant use of case studies from a variety of organisations and sectors. These cases: a) outline practical examples of leading sustainability related change, b) enable students to compare and critique leadership and change theories to organisational/management practices.

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 the ways in which human-environment interactions are governed. Through studying the module students will be able to: - Appreciate the need for sustainability related policy and governance and be able to assess the role and potential limitations associated with various policies. - Gain an understanding of the key factors and stakeholders which can influence the processes and outcomes related to governance. - Draw on their critical knowledge of environmental governance and policy in order to provide an organisation/sector with operational and strategic guidance on environmental governance and policy related issues. Overall - through studying the module, students will gain a critical appreciation of the complexities associated with governance, policy and the environment and will be able to discuss and debate these complexities in an informed and insightful manner.

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.
