ES-6010: Principles of Sustainable Systems

This course will introduce foundational scientific laws that govern sustainability in all complex systems and then take students through a process to investigate how such paradigmatic principles apply to any business organizational structure and operation. Specific laws to be examined will include the law of limits to growth, the second law of thermodynamics, and the law of self-organization. An aspect of complexity will be the treatment of the emergence of limits as one increases both temporal and spatial scales of inquiry. The students will be asked to consider efficacy of current approaches to organizational sustainability within this context.
