This module will consider real life transport or accessibility-related difficulties and the steps necessary to formulate a credible plan to address the problem. The key output of this module will be a consultancy study, developed as a group project, addressing a real-life transport or mobility related difficulty through the development of a strategy incorporating a range of potential options and a preferred course of action. This will consider analysis and framing of the problem itself, consider the wider vision and imperatives of an area, the generation of credible alternative options to be appraised to provide a preferred option.

This module is designed for students who wish to explore the relationship between sustainability and business, considering both the significant opportunities this presents as well as the tensions and challenges. It considers theoretical perspectives on value, innovation, circular economy, business models, supply chains, decision-making and reporting. It combines these with practical examples and case studies, and in-depth consideration of sustainability for particular example industry sectors. Guest speakers are deliberately drawn from both academia and industry. The aim is to engage students with current debates in this fast-moving field, and provide them with some frameworks to help navigate it. Activities and assessments are designed to facilitate discussion and critical thinking, whilst combining academic and business perspectives. It is suitable for students who want to engage with business and sustainability from a qualitative, strategic and discursive perspective
