Summer 2021 online courses


Cross-Cultural Leadership (Core Course - 3 credits)

  • Course goal
    Harness the power of culture and community to help create high-achieving organizations.  
  • Course description
    This course is about leading change in a dynamic world. It is designed to help students understand the tensions and harmonies between leadership and culture, identity and innovation. How can leaders tap into people’s deep desires to improve their lives, find purpose, and help others? How does culture function as a way to unite—or separate—people? And how can we responsibly manage change and innovation on glocal and local levels? 

Business for Impact (Core Course - 3 credits) 

  • Course goal
    Explore the latest business models to solve human problems and drive impact + profit. 
  • Course description
    2020 marks an unprecedented time to rethink how we approach business and innovation. “This is your chance. If you miss it, you’ll never get it back again,” Muhhamad Yunis, Nobel Peace Prize Winner. Customers, employees and stakeholders now demand businesses adopt more sustainable and transparent practices.  Learn how to utilize the latest models of B Corp, conscious capitalism, UNSG, and corporate social responsibility. 

Women and Innovation (Elective Course - 3 credits) 

  • Course goal
    Explore key theories of leadership as they relate to women and women innovators. 
  • Course description
    The purpose of this course is to analyse the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of women in leadership positions. Current issues and trends will be examined from historical, sociological, political, and ethical perspectives. Why does women’s leadership matter? Do women have an identifiably different way of leading? What structural/institutional/cultural obstacles do women face?  How have women confronted/challenged/altered these obstacles? How are issues relating to women and leadership similar and/or different across cultures? In this course we have the unique opportunity to intermix classroom learning with meetings with real world entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs who are creating systemic change to business and society.
