Lernziel
- Identify the facts, assumptions, theories, and social constructions guiding the management of organizations and decision-making to a range of environmental and natural resource policy problems. - Recognize key institutional and interpersonal challenges in management and decision-making situations. - Design communication and decision-making processes that can work effectively in the context of stakeholder worldviews and perspectives. - Conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of value to decision-makers, and communicate that in a manner that is clear and effective. - Consider broader policy issues applicable across the cases, such as the appropriate roles of public, non-profit, and private sector organizations, the decentralization of authority, and possible societal pathways towards sustainability.
Inhalt
The course will cover a range of environmental problem areas, include land conversion, water quality, air quality, climate change, and energy. Across these issues, cases will engage students in confronting particular management decisions needing to be made by individuals and organizations, primarily in the public and non-profit sectors, but also in private sector firms.
