From [WIW-SMG-NPO-K-7] Nonprofit Management for the Sustainable Development Goals:

This lecture gives an overview of the management field “Nonprofit Organizations” and embeds their actions in the 2030 Agenda. Students get to know the 17 sustainable development goals as well as the characteristics and peculiarities of nonprofit organizations and how they differ from social enterprises. In the course of the lecture, various challenges in the management of nonprofit organizations will be discussed, including those relating to: human resource management, governance, marketing, non-profit law and financing. The importance and different forms of nonprofit partnerships are also highlighted and a bridge to sustainability management in companies is built through the corporate citizenship mix.

From [WIW-SMG-CSM-K-7] Case Studies in Sustainability Management:

The case method is widely applied in management education and aims at mating knowledge and action. This course will combine two areas of applying the case method in an innovative way:

First, students work in groups on sustainability case studies, involving data handling, selecting decision criteria, choose a balanced decision alternative and derive implications for the organization at hand.
Second, students will themselves transform a real-life business innovation case (e.g., from the Aim2Flourish platform) into a case study.

Thereby, the course provides an ideal platform for critical thinking and achieving new competencies for students interested in transdisciplinary approaches to sustainability research

From [WIW-SMG-SMIC-K-7] Sustainability Management in Context:

Organizations are bounded by the environmental and social systems around them - their context. From a strategic perspective, companies are expected to look beyond their own boundaries and take into account their context. This holds especially true when considering sustainability of a specific organization and its operations. Context refers to the different circumstances that determine whether or not a specific performance is considered sustainable or not. In this course, students will learn how a specific context can be established and analyzed to measure, manage and report sustainability. Students analyze and discuss the peculiarities of sustainability in different contexts (country, industry, firm size...). The specific focus of this course depends on the respective lecturer.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

know the sustainable development goals and discuss conflicts of interest.
