TOPICS: HYPERMGMT: SUSTAINABILITY, MGMT & ETHICAL DECISIONS in Summer 2024 (BA4091-3WK1)

This module is a collaborative research project for graduate students and faculty ending with an edited book volume. An essential part of the MSc in International Management (MSIM) program is preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century. The student-centered learning goals are paramount, and they home in on the understanding that anthropogenic climate change, social justice, and establishing more ethical forms of economics are the key planetary challenges faced by the global explorers in our program. These are wicked problems, and the program addresses these social, ethical, environmental, and organizational complexities. The MSIM program of the American University of Paris organizes a module on Sustainability Management, Ethics, and Complexity studies which is grounded in faculty/student collaboration. The book publication resulting from this module is published by MSIM Publishing and represents the approaches and shared experiences of the students and the faculty participating in the project. Each summer a new book theme and grounded theory texts are chosen. The past book themes include: A Dress Rehearsal: Strategizing Sustainability in a Post Covid-19 World (2020), Hyper-management: Experiencing Complexity (2021), Stratégie à la Mode: Fashions of Management Strategy (2022, in production in until June 2023).
