In this session I will share a Business Strategy capstone project based on sustainability theme – Water. This theme is a university-wide initiative for three years. In the capstone project, students strategically analyze and plan for companies that provides, uses or produces water-related product and services. The project has three unique aspects.
a) Students are engaged in deep critical thinking about sustainability-based strategic analysis and planning.
b) The mission of the University is integrated into the course; and
c) Based entirely on student research, it exposes them to a wide range of information and knowledge on the sustainability theme.
