Academics – An MBA for Changing the Climate of Business (click here).
I will be thinking about offshore wind, solar power, and the world we are creating for our children, grandchildren, and the MBA in Managing for Sustainability. Their tag-line is “Changing the Climate of Business.” It’s more than slogan. It’s what they teach and it’s what their students and alumni do. The photo on the Marlboro MBA in M for S web-site shows Ralph, that is Dr. Meima, with actual students – John T. at the board, and in rapt attention or meditating on the meaning of sustainability, Jonathan C., Iryna M., Kevin L., Beth M., Scott B.
