ESG & Impact Investing

Impact Investing, in the broad sense used in this class, is a discipline which seeks to generate social benefits as well as financial returns. From boutique beginnings, Impact Investing has surged into the mainstream of global money management, now affecting trillions of dollars of assets. The greatest demand is for strategies and products that promote social good while having expected returns competitive with non-impact options, although many other approaches exist.

Impact Investing and the associated ESG investing paradigm also permeate the agendas of policymakers, asset owners including pension plans and sovereign wealth funds, wealthy and retail investors, corporate managers, academia, and philanthropic foundations. A distinct career specialization for finance professionals has emerged, and the diversity of its applications is spreading the new discipline’s influence throughout world markets.

Management of Services: Concepts, Design, and Delivery

The course takes an operations point of view to look at companies and industries in the service sector. It builds on conceptual frameworks and draws upon examples from a wide range of service operations: health care, hospitality, transportation, retailing, food service, financial services, among others. Note that this course has a point of view. It focuses on how to design and manage operations to create value for customers, employees, and investors simultaneously. It is possible to create value for investors by leaving customers or employees behind. Consistent with the mission of MIT Sloan, we will not learn how to do that.

 

Introduction to Operations Management course (15.761) is a pre-requisite or co-requisite for this course. The course is primarily case based. There is also a course project (see below).

People and Profits: Shaping the Future of Work

The shape of work in the future will largely be determined by how we respond to circumstances today. The 20th century social contract is unraveling in the face of technological change, globalization, financial innovation, and political upheaval. The global pandemic has laid bare the growing wage and wealth gaps in our society, and the lack of voice, power, and resources available to the workers essential to our society’s functioning. But, this moment could be a turning point: a 21st century business order has yet to crystallize.

As business leaders you will help shape the future of work. Can we learn from the successes and failures of the past and present to shape an inclusive world of work? What are the choices you will make to create value for people as they contribute to firm profitability?
