Building on the sustainable business concepts introduced in CSBA 101, this course delves into the implications these principles have on different aspects of an enterprise. Participants will gain an understanding of how the pursuit of sustainability can impact product/service development, marketing, finance, human resources, and operations. Issues of an integrative approach, priority setting, and incremental implementation will also be explored.
