The course integrates academic research and practitioner-oriented tools and frameworks to give students practical ways to act wisely and decisively through the fog of disruptive change. UCLA Anderson School of Management New Course: ESG for Managers and Investors Instructors: Valentin Haddad and Henry Friedman This course focuses on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) issues relevant to corporate managers and investors. The last few years have seen these issues rise to the forefront of corporate and investment decisions. By taking the point of view of major decision-makers in this process (shareholders, managers/directors, lenders, regulators, and community-members), we build a comprehensive picture of this radical change in the business world. We will cover various frameworks for measurement, valuation, and opportunity and risk assessment, with emphasis on recent changes in the ESG landscape. The course can serve as a stand-alone introduction to ESG or as a foundation for other SG/sustainability courses offered at UCLA. University of Virginia Darden School of Business New Course: Creating Value in the Metaverse Instructors: Professor Anton Korinek and David Touve. In this course in the Global Economies and Markets area, students will explore how to create value in the emerging metaverse. Taught through discussions, workshops, and time spent in the metaverse, the purpose of this course is to expose students to the developing technologies, strategic dynamics, and economic underpinnings of this expanding network of virtual worlds and economies, with the goal to contribute to creating value. New Course: GEMstone Instructors: Professors Frank Warnock and Kinda Hachem In this course in the Global Economies and Markets area, students will take deep dives into the biggest issues at the intersection of international finance and money and banking; examples might include the international payments system and the demand for liquidity, the evolving role of the U.S. dollar as the center of global finance, where in the world long-term interest rates are headed, and how to think about the monetary policy transmission mechanism in a world of crypto and central bank digital currencies. New York University Stern School of Business New Course: Becoming You: Crafting Your Authentic Career Instructor: Suzy Welch The objective of this class is to guide students through the complex, exhilarating, and sometimes surprising journey of discovering the right career for them, one rich with opportunity, meaning, and impact. “Becoming You” grows out of the premise that the happiest, most fulfilling lives are those lived in your “Area of Destiny,” the intersection of your best and most unique skills, your deepest and most authentic values, and the economy’s most rewarding spaces. On many levels, the Area of Destiny construct is intuitive – of course you should be doing what you’re good at, what you love, and what the world needs. But what’s less intuitive is how often smart, ambitious, and often enlightened people end up with lives and careers that are less deliberate and joyful, and more accidental and stressful, than they’d ever wanted. With readings from memoirs that are as illuminating as they are brutally honest (Tina Fey, Steve Wozniak, and Phil Knight), spell-binding documentaries about trailblazers such as Dr. Dre and Iris Apfel (to name a few), as well as classical works about identity by great philosophers and social scientists, “Becoming You” will explore career journeys that are provocative – and instructive. But the career journey at the center of this class is yours. Where have you been and how has it shaped you? What are you dying to leave behind, and what is ahead that scares you? What is your unedited dream of a life? What are your non-negotiables around lifestyle? Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? And what about money…really? Analytic tools, assessment surveys, and exercises will be employed in each student’s personal exploration process, along with team activities, writing assignments, and guest speakers from careers paths both conventional and unorthodox. The course will conclude with a capstone project in which each student will identify their own “Area of Destiny,” either newly discovered or confirmed, and the roadmap to it, now and in the future.
