Current Issues in Business and Society
The world we live in today is rapidly changing and presents a myriad of challenges, opportunities and, often, dilemmas
for business and society more generally. In this module, learners will be exposed to the latest issues facing business and
society, but from a multidisciplinary perspective - drawing upon thought leadership from a combination of disciplines, such
as business, social sciences and the humanities. The aim of this approach is to develop learners’ critical thinking skills
and to expose them to a range of different perspectives in order to enhance their responsible managerial decision-making
kills. The module will, in part, take inspiration from the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a
basis for topical content, but given the dynamic nature of the global business environment, the content will be very much
based on what is happening in the world at the time of delivery. In addition, this module will provide inspiration and ideas
for research (e.g. the dissertation), with the hope that learners will take a much more critical approach to their research -
given the exposure to a wider theoretical and contextual base.
