Sustainable Organizations and Global Citizenship

This course integrates the three pillars of the Collaborative MBA Program; management, leadership and stewardship for organizational effectiveness and serving the common good. The keystone of the course is an 8-day international residency designed to engage students as reflective practitioners and invite them to develop an openness to new ways of experiencing and thinking about the world through interactions and learning in a different country. One core value of the Collaborative MBA is global citizenship, recognizing that organizations are interdependent and mutually accountable to local, national, and global communities. This suggests that a global perspective is important for today's business and organizational leaders, and it is a significant purpose of the international residency.

Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre's beautiful and peaceful retreat grounds by the Brokenhead River just east of Beausejour, MB is the ideal setting for Indigenous ceremony and perspective on peacebuilding in relative and treaty making efforts. The field school component of this course is grounded in the idea that working toward settler-Indigenous reconciliation requires learning and building face-to-face relationships that honour Indigenous knowledge, including connections to the land.
