ABOUT 320:
For-profit companies and non-profit organizations use marketing and human
resources to create and deliver products, services, and ideas. This course
explores: 1) business practices that are aligned with environmental
stewardship and social responsibility standards; 2) the concepts and models
of a market orientation; 3) how markets are researched and targeted, and
products positioned, to meet consumer needs; 4) creating and pricing
products, developing distribution channels, and implementing promotion
campaigns; 5) managerial and leadership skills and styles; 6) how companies
motivate employees and develop human capital; and 7) methods for recruiting,
selecting, training, and evaluating employees.

* What does sustainability mean, and how is it manifested in business?
Various definitions of sustainability have been used, but all share a common
understanding that sustainability refers to integrating environmental,
social responsibility, and financial/economic elements in order to meet the
needs of people today without compromising Earth’s capacity to provide for
future generations. Said another way, practicing sustainability involves
balancing the three Ps: planet, people, and profits.

Thank you.
