Amazing view from a different perspective in Scandinavian, it would be a challenge but worth a try to apply these ideas to local context. Engaging and interesting course and definitely worth my time

This course offers a great value for both students with general interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability as well as experienced professionals who are looking for a refreshed perspective. I particularly appreciated the structure of the course, the quality of the content and the thoughtful insights that the guests shared with the students. The course has inspired me to think about practical applications of Scandinavian management practices in my local context and left me positively energized about the future of CSR and sustainability.

Scandinavian companies- like Novo Nordisk are important voices in the world of sustainability. I appreciated the courses deep dive into cultural and social values as well as institutional values of the organization. When you are trying to embed a sustainable vision in an organization, these are helpful lessons to consider.

Excellent course, explaining why scandinavian companies are often a very good place to work and why they are also sucessful despite high wages and short working hours. Sustainability will be an increasingly important factor everywhere, so learn from the best.

Robert, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire course. It would be fabulous to learn a bit more about triple-bottom line economics and what steps an organization needs to take to switch from its current financial model to a more CSR-based model. I don't know if that exists, or if the org starts by setting aside a budget for the exploratory phase and then assigns budget (with accountability goals and targets) as time passes?
Thanks,
Jessica

Please let me share my appreciation for following this course and gratitude towards Robert Strand and the Copenhagen Business School for the high level of its content. I’ve enjoyed much the tone used by the lecturer and guest speakers, the well-paced rhythm, the documentation made available and the valued added teaching. I had the chance to contribute and learned as well from other students’ own contributions.

The Sustainable Vikings course led by Professor Strand offered a holistic understanding of Scandinavian culture in a business context, the purpose of business and its role in society, and what CSR and sustainability means in modern Scandinavian firms. I found the content engaging and a great introduction to sustainable business in Scandinavia.

Excellent course for anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge of how to be part of the Sustainable Business agenda. This course reinforced much of what I know and also provided evidence of how and why sustainabile practices work in Scandinavia - and can work everywhere else.

Prof. Robert Strand's simple and engaging style helped in understanding the fundamentals of Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility and Governance. The course also gave an overview of how sustainability is practiced in the Scandinavian countries.

Interesting, informative, and a fantastic point of comparison for CSR activities elsewhere. In particular, I found deep parallels with the B Corporation movement that were valuable to my ongoing learning journey.

The only issue I see is the grading process of your assessment.

The actual course material was great, but the final grading system is severely flawed. On two questions with a scale of 0-4, with 2 being 'sufficient response', you will fail if you lose more than 1 point. Thus being rated 'strong response' on two questions by your peers, you will still fail the course. On resubmitting you go back into the queue and enter an endless cycle of your study time expiring and being repeatedly failed by well meaning peers who probably think they are giving you a good score.

Very good content and camera. Very interesting interviews with business leaders and experts. I liked everything except that I would have liked to sometimes go even more in detail. More analysis and evaluation of Scandinavian business cultures and more figures would have been nice.
