Content

Students are introduced to the theory and practice of sustainable entrepreneurship. This will be differentiated from corporate sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals will be discussed. Students will become familiar with the details of the Sustainable Business Model Canvas so that they can use it themselves. Students will also get to know the methods of elevator pitches and storytelling and apply them in practice. A sustainable business model will be developed in groups (for their own idea or based on a given case). This will then be presented in an elevator pitch and prepared as part of the seminar paper. The course will be held in English and the presentation will also be expected to be in English. However, students can choose whether to write their seminar paper in German or English.
