years or so, there has been a revolution in the way that people think about the planet and the roles that business, industry, and individuals have in maintaining it. Sometimes it’s called sustainability, sometimes the triple-bottom-line – but whatever the terminology, the realities of expanding economies, a growing population, and global warming are prying open our minds and forcing/enabling us to work in a way that is anything but business-as-usual. The challenges are numerous, complex, and daunting. But in the final analysis, business is such a powerful engine that, when fueled by the strategies of sustainability, it presents us with a realistic and hopeful path forward. This course, 4130, Sustainable Operations, will explore the new and rapidly evolving field of sustainability within the context of business operations in sectors like energy, transportation, food, sports and fashion, and will equip students with real-world examples, tools, and new ways to think about work.
