Activists or Opportunists? How environmental entrepreneurs differ from conventional ones Yasmin Schwegler, University of Lausanne | Jeffrey S.

Recently, the United Nations, the Business Roundtable, and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business have all engaged a common question: How can educators prepare students to approach business as a force for good? Raj Sisodia’s Conscious Capitalism is a new way of thinking about business that goes considerably beyond the traditional focus of profit maximization: embodying service to all stakeholders while striving to make a positive impact on society. The Marketplace Conscious Capitalism® simulation, created in partnership with Dr. Sisodia, puts students at the helm of a fully functional, new venture—one in which they must choose whether to become a socially conscious business. Consider these questions Bindu Agrawal, professor of entrepreneurship at Sri Sri University, raised in a recent article by Harvard Business Publishing: “Which is the greater responsibility, protecting your workers and neighbors from harmful chemicals or creating more wealth for company owners? Which is better, to engage and involve your employees in decisions or to create more wealth?” Come experience how the simulation challenges students to navigate complex scenarios, balancing “doing well” through profit maximization and “doing good” through socially conscious business management. As Agrawal surmises, “Conscious capitalism demonstrates that both are achievable.”
