This course offers a comprehensive overview of relevant theoretical traditions, topics, and recent empirical developments in the field of corporate environmental management with an emphasis on research that is at the focus of the corporate environmental discipline at JSBE. The course is divided into thematic modules. Each thematic modules introduces the foundational concepts and seminal publications in each thematic area and highlights some more recent theoretical advancements. During this course, students are expected to complete a reflective learning diary in which they consider how the different thematic modules advance their understanding of the corporate environmental management discipline and how they would update their research plan based on this learning. 

Students understand that corporate environmental management consists of various research streams. This understanding forms the basis for positioning the student’s research within a theoretical discourse that is relevant to the corporate environmental management discipline. It also facilitates the student’s ability to frame their intended contribution in a way that is meaningful to the research community. Additionally, the course readings prepare students to engage in the teaching of corporate environmental management by providing background information and a conceptual canvas for independent design of courses and study modules.
