Module Description | Businesses are increasingly recognising the importance of considering to the widest range of stakeholders who may be affected or have an influence over their business, giving raise to calls for greater social corporate responsibility, while the wide impact of businesses on the environment has highlighted the need to ensure the long-term viability of the resources they use. This has given raise to the implementation of sustainable development principles in business and the emergence of the concepts such as ‘triple-bottom’ line and ‘circular economy’, where not only economic but also social and environment issues are regarded as important in business planning, and where the concept of product lifecycle is being applied to maximise the benefits of manufactured products and minimise their detrimental effects at every stage of their production and use, from design to eventual recycle or reuse. Thus, the module aims to examine the concept of sustainability applied to the business environment, while critically exploring the concept of sustainable business management by applying it to a range of case studies, including tourism, events and the wider business environment, at a national and international level. The purpose of the module is to enable students to become familiar with the ideological underpinnings, principles and practices relating to sustainable business management, to have a coherent and functional understanding of this concept within a range of business and operational environments, and to be able to practically apply it to a business of their choice. |
