SBS-H298 Honors Tackling With the Wicked Global Problems
SBS H298 will focus on addressing wicked problems, understanding the challenges they pose, and working towards creative solutions. SBS 298 will integrate freshman level business skills giving students a forum for practicing business decision-making in the context of solving global social challenges. Students will consider problems that the private sector can solve with innovation and focus on "no further harm." Potential solutions such as these are hotly debated and give the perfect setting to practice recognizing and evaluating facts, ideas, opinions and arguments. Students will define the goals, interests and concerns of multiple stakeholders using research skills, entrepreneurial thinking, public policy, and other skills developed during their freshman and early sophomore years. Using storytelling and data visualization, students will pitch their solutions. Students will work in an experiential and collaborative learning environment as they develop the skills and knowledge to identify, conceptualize, and working on a wicked problem. Students can apply the skills built here on their major classes in subsequent semesters
