In this Master's programme we rethink economic processes to enhance the environmental responsibility of businesses and develop new business models in light of a sustainable future. How can we make the economy work within the boundaries of our planet? The private sector plays a crucial role in shaping our sustainable society. We can see this in the way that products and services have been developed, produced, and distributed. This places a great deal of pressure on the world’s natural resources. You can expect to learn about new business models, organisational studies and innovation management as well as different environmentally-sustainable directions for our current economies. Examples of sustainable economies include the we-economy, the bio-economy, the circular economy and the sharing economy. Another crucial question is whether these can all exist in today’s market as the focus is mainly placed on economic growth.
