The Drucker School of Management Helps Students Build Skills in Sustainable Business
A new Drucker course will cover four main topics: Values Based Accounting, The Science and Business of Climate Change, Policy as it relates to the Environment, and Green Supply Chain Management.
Claremont, CA, August 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- With a mission to enable students to think strategically about sustainability and its impact on the entire business process, the Drucker School of Management offers an exciting new course in the Fall semester, "Topics in Sustainability". The course will cover four important areas of Sustainable business: Values Based Accounting, The Science and Business of Climate Change, Policy as it relates to the Environment, and Green Supply Chain Management.
Sustainable Business has evolved beyond a topic of discussion, and grown into a wide set of skills, covering multiple disciplines. Managers hoping to address the environmental impacts of business must have a familiarity with the tools being utilized in their discipline, as well as exposure to the tools used in related business disciplines. This course is designed to introduce and give students practice in these skills as they relate to creating and operating environmentally and socially conscious businesses. It is not designed to be comprehensive, but rather to focus on several discrete and important topics.
The Sustainable Business course is introduced to help students build skills in the selected sustainable business related topics and enable them to think strategically about sustainability as it impacts the entire business process.
The course consists of a series of four one-day Saturday workshops throughout the semester, each on a separate topic related to sustainability in business. Each topic will be led by a different instructor with appropriate academic credentials and extensive applied knowledge on the topic.

About the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
Named after Professor Peter Drucker in 1974, the Drucker School was established to satisfy the niche of part time executive management education. Today, the school shares its name with one of the world’s most respected entrepreneurs, Masatoshi Ito, combining a thinker (Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management) with a doer (Masatoshi Ito, who built the largest retail network in Japan), and reflecting a decidedly global orientation. Drucker has some 4,400 alumni around the globe, many of whom are leaders in business, government, and the nonprofit sector.
The school is known for its innovative programs, which in addition to the Masters in Arts Management (AM), includes the traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA), the Executive Management Program (EMBA), a Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE), a Master in Politics, and Business and Economics (MAPEB), as well as a variety of certificate programs and customized corporate executive education offerings. The Drucker School’s programs and degrees are unique in their focus on management as a liberal art, rather than specific concentrations on core business functions such as accounting, finance, or marketing. At Drucker, students are challenged to do good and do well, and the curriculum reflects a value-based approached to management education. Along with its sister institution, The Drucker Institute, the Drucker School is committed to advancing effective management, ethical leadership and social responsibility in organizations in all sectors of society, locally, nationally and globally. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Peter Drucker’s birth, which is being celebrated with major Drucker Centennial events around the world.
