Overall I enjoyed the course and various breakdowns of business approaches to company environmental policy. The various historical examples gave points of reference for policy and helped one understand the material.

One major concern I have with the course was the professors dramatic shift in tone when discussing advocates vs. activists. He defines activists as having no academic, legal, or genuine intellectual understanding of policy and purely becoming engaged for personally beliefs. Greenpeace is used as an example, and a story in which activists caused economic harm and physically threatened the safety of workers in his further explaining the negative impact and ineffectiveness of activists.

In his attempt to create a course structure and define effectiveness of certain groups the professor instead creates a negative false archetype and in the process immediately lost any credibility with me. After that point in the course I doubted the validity and understood everything was more based on the opinion of the professor than industry accepted/embraced understanding.

It was for myself a decent beginner course.

This course would feel very basic to anyone who has studied sustainable development or sustainable business in any form. It may complement what you've already learnt by articulating the concepts well, but the lecture videos felt redundant after reading material for Week 1. This course can be improved by adding a few in-depth case studies to the weekly assignments.

It's a 3,5/5 course... It is a good content and a great way of displaying it, but in some moments it gets too repetitive. If you already have a basis of knowledge in this area, you should seek other courses. Otherwise, it is a great option to get started.

It's a good beginner's course to get an introduction to sustainability.. It's a gives a brief overview of the sustainability market, it's verticals, and challenges.

I was very excited when I started, but when I saw one of the assignments is watching a video from 2005 of a climate change denier (Bjorn Lomborg), I was absolutely outraged. The guy is saying we shouldn't invest in climate change because it doesn't bring immediate benefits, that we should be investing in combating AIDS, and establishing free trade instead!! HELOOO! This is 2022, and all we discuss is how urgent mitigation actions are!! This course is completely spoiling the image of IESE Business School!

There are many given examples which make it easier to relate. IT also takes into account the different stages the company wants to take towards this new normal in sustainability. I find the big picture is good. However, the assignment can designed where one can key in different sections as it is not easy to do the peer review for some cases.

Prof. Mike's sessions are quite impressive. He explained the aspects of sustainability strategy for business, in a holistic way. As the course was designed in 2016-17, a general suggestion would be to upgrade the course content to suit the current scenario with many sustainable initiatives around the world, particularly post covid.

El curso ofrece un paneo general sobre las distintas estrategias que las organizaciones pueden tomar de cara al medioambiente. Cuenta con el dinamismo del profesor, casos reales a lo largo del ultimo siglo, y recomendaciones tanto de libros como de charlas TED que van muy alineadas al topico. Muy recomendable.

Prof. Mike is a very good teacher for organizing this course. the course clearly defines how and who shall touch sustainability within a business organization, the process of crafting a sustainability strategy. The tools and framework of analysis are also very helpful. Look forward to practice in the reality！

Thank you Professor, I have come to know and understand how business and sustainability are interconnected with the environment and government. How business can also relate to social and environmental issues. I hope to get the opportunity to be able to use this knowledge in a real job and grow well with it.

I really appreciated the course, it was very well structured, with a good mix of theory and real life examples. You can clearly feel the passion that Mike Rosenberg has for sustainability and it's definitely contagious ! It does make you want to explore further this vast and exiting subject !

A very well structured course that gives a good insight into how business people think about sustainability. If you are working on a strategy and presenting it to your management colleagues. It provides the right tools to present the issues and develop a strategy for a company.

The course is very interesting and very complete for an online course, but unfortunately it is from 2018, I would encourage you to update it as I believe there has been progress in the field in recent years. Professor Rosenberg is a great teacher and communicator.

very good for gaining understanding of Sustainability , gives a global perspective . the end course peer assignment , given an opportunity to know more projects and get feedback on ones own. the template of formulating ones sustainable strategy was very helpful.
