MGMT 297: Developing Next Gen Leadership
Dr. Anjali Chaudhry teaches an intermediate business course that prepares students to take a leadership role in the context of multitude of challenges as well as opportunities that relate to a hotter, scarcer, and a more open world. It draws on Brennan School of Business’s mission to prepare a diverse student body, through experiential education, to become ethically minded business leaders, committed to creating an equitable and sustainable global society.
Most notably from an AI context, students experiment with En-Roads, an online simulator that provides students with the ability to test and explore cross-sector climate solutions. To understand how the algorithms and AI responds to student simulation, students themselves will need more than a surface-level engagement. The software is driven by thousands of interconnected variables, balancing tradeoffs across technology, population growth, and market behavior. Making sense of its outputs requires advanced critical thinking skills. For instance, it will demand students have the ability to question assumptions, recognize when correlations are really causations, and become empowered to investigate deeper systemic dynamics.
