ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author shares her experience of teaching the 'Social Context of Business' course at McGill University. The Social Context of Business course has been designed with these in mind. Its underlying pedagogy shows relationships by connecting the dots among management practice, global social and environmental issues and, most importantly, the students themselves—as individuals and as future managers. As a core course the Social Context of Business is designed to be introductory. It covers more breadth than depth of topics. The course is intended to spark students' interest and encourage them to take more advanced courses in related topics also available in the faculty, including Business and Society, Strategies for Sustainability, Business Ethics, and Organisational Politics. The objective is to make students more aware of how daily, local and world issues that may appear unrelated to the business studies are in fact related.
