It presents complex cross-disciplinary and cross-functional theoretical and practical discussions in a simplified manner to specify how the learning outcomes from different chapters can address the grand challenges associated with climate change, economic instability, geopolitical uncertainty, and inequity whilst underpinning profit-making ventures responsibly.
