Creative Business Strategy as a Path to Social Change
Corporations have the power to positively impact our world. Integrating socially responsible and sustainable business practices into a profit-maximizing strategy is imperative to a company’s and society’s success. Throughout the Organizational Studies program, I will study the ways in which corporations can partner with nonprofits and other organizations to be at the forefront of change. These professional goals align with my personal values of striving to make society more equitable and just. These goals are also inherently vested in the critical task of promoting inclusive environments in which team members are encouraged to bring a diverse array of ideas.
The interdisciplinary nature of an Organizational Studies degree will allow me to utilize sociological, psychological, and economic lenses when understanding areas for social change and practical solutions. This will be supplemented by a minor in the environment to incorporate a sustainability lens and coursework in business to develop impactful corporate strategies. A broad range of subject matter will give me the tool kit to develop the complex solutions required to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems through business.
