My Favorite Class: Environmentally Sustainable Operations & Business Models

If you love, or want to learn more, about how MBAs can drive environmentally-sustainable development, this is the course for you! Each week, we discuss a key sustainability issue by analyzing 1-2 cases in depth, such as furniture logging at IKEA or organic cotton clothing at Walmart. Each discussion topic is driven in a very lively manner by Professor Vishal Agrawal, who truly encourages students to challenge assumptions, raise controversy, look for signs of “greenwashing”, and find the hidden profits embedded in sustainable strategies. 

Whether you’re new to the topic or experienced in the field, you’ll find yourself surrounded by like-minded MBAs from all sorts of functions, sectors, and industries; I guarantee that you’ll learn as much from them as from the course material. To practice our analytical MBA skills, we build up a portfolio of three individual essays and one group project over the course of six weeks. In the individual essays, we’re guided with a series of questions that require knowledge from our core MBA courses such as Finance, Operations, Marketing, and Analytical Problem Solving; for example, performing an NPV analysis for obtaining LEED building certification. 

In the group project, we’re partnered with an external client on a corporate initiative or with Professor Vishal on an internal research topic. With over 15 projects to choose from, students have the opportunity to dive deep into a sustainability area they’re really passionate about, such as applications of blockchain in the fishing industry (in my particular case). Our last session together, ending on a real high note, is devoted to group project presentations where you’ll learn about various topics, meet some of the external clients, and perfect your sustainability pitching skills. 

This course is a required elective in McDonough’s new Certificate in Sustainable Business, and rightly so. If this course sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to look into the certificate and save your seat in OPIM 571!

This shirt was obtained at the Interface carpets booth at the Greenbuild Expo several years ago. Very inspiring to read about former CEO's leadership and transformation of the company for a grad school paper now.
