    Andrew J. Hoffman
    Professor of Management & Organizations; Professor of Natural Resources; Holcim (US), Inc. Professor of Sustainable Enterprise; Director of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise
    University of Michigan - Ross School of Business
    As the Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise, Hoffman holds joint appointments at the Ross School of Business and the School of Natural Resources & Environment at U-M. His research uses a sociological perspective to understand the cultural and institutional aspects of environmental issues for organizations. Hoffman has published over 100 articles as well as 12 books. His work has been covered in numerous media outlets, including the New York Times, Scientific American, Time, Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio.
    DETAILS:
    Sustainability has gone "mainstream." Firms develop sustainability strategies, create sustainable products and operations, produce sustainability reports, and appoint Chief Sustainability Officers who tout sustainability to be their core mission. But how do we teach this rapidly changing topic in a business school?  In this webinar, Professor Hoffman will offer a structure and model to use to teach sustainability in a business context, predicated on framing the issue in terms of business fundamentals, i.e., operational efficiency, consumer demand, cost of capital, regulatory compliance, and more.
