This course is intended for students pursuing master’s degrees in Business Administration and International Business Administration.
The course is also open to students from other programs as well as guest students who are interested in the topic at hand.

Objectives & Content
This course provides students with a thorough understanding of how to transform people´s lives for the better. In particular, the course offers new perspectives on marketing practices and new opportunities to make an impact on the world.

The classes will encourage students to think about and discuss the following topics:
- What is the role of marketing in creating a better world?
- What are the world’s current challenges, and how do they impact businesses?
- How to position a sustainable brand?

Moreover, students will have the opportunity to participate in a business case in collaboration with one of our partners (a green company in the biochemical sector based in Manchester). Students will learn about current industry practices and propose marketing solutions for the challenge pro-vided; the group with the best solutions/recommendations will receive a small monetary reward from the company.

The course seeks to improve students’ critical and strategic thinking to provide our future leaders with better and more powerful decisionmaking tools.
