Kursusindhold
This course employs the learnings of the first year of the
programme to zoom in on sustainable business models. The course is
divided into two distinct parts: First, we engage on a societal
level of analysis, and examine sustainable business models in a
systemic context of a country. In order to be able to form a
holistic overview of the complexity of sustainability, we take the
country of Iceland as an example, and travel to Iceland. The second
part of the course focuses on the operational level of sustainable
business models. By applying case-based learning, the objective is
to understand and apply the fundamental operations strategy
concepts, such as KPI design, bottlenecks, and the product-process
matrix, withing a sustainability-oriented business model.
