ANALYSIS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Energy Management is the cornerstone of any sustainability initiative. The generation, distribution, and use of energy has a profound, continuous, and global impact on natural resources, societal structure, and geopolitics. How energy is used has significant repercussions on an organizations cash flow and profitability. For these reasons, energy issues tend to be the fulcrum upon which sustainability programs hinge. The ability to identify and articulate organizational benefits from energy savings tied to efficiency improvements and renewable energy projects is a requisite skill set for all sustainability managers. This course will provide real-world information on energy management issues from a practitioner's perspective. Through lectures, problem sets, and readings students will learn how to manage energy audits, analyze building energy performance, and evaluate the energy use and financial impacts of potential capital and operations improvements to building systems. The class will focus on understanding energy issues from a building owner’s perspective, with discussions also examining energy issues from the perspective of utility companies, energy generators, and policy makers. Best practice in energy management will always involve some level of complex engineering to survey existing conditions and predict energy savings from various improvement options. Sustainability managers need to understand how to manage and quality control these analyses and to translate to decision makers the opportunity they reveal. This course seeks to empower students to do that by providing an understanding of building systems and methods for quantitatively analyzing the potential benefit of various energy improvements.

AIR POLLUTION & MEASURING THE ENVIRONMEN
AIR POLL & MSR THE ENV BU
In this course, students will first be provided with a global perspective on the current status of environmental problems and the leading environmental contributors to the burden of diseases. Students will then introduce how air pollutants are produced, transported, and what are their environmental fates. This course will cover how air pollutants are measured and monitored, including government monitoring networks, NASA remote sensing techniques, and research tools for fixed site monitoring (indoor and outdoor) and personal level monitoring. Students will be able to learn basic concepts about the toxicity and target organs of different pollutants, both of which are important to understand dose-response and health outcomes. Building on knowledge of exposure and toxicity, Students will then introduce risk assessment and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) associated with air pollution. Their usage in evaluating sustainability as well as their limitations will be introduced. The course will provide students with the methods and tools to understand, monitor, and analyze current environmental health threats in air, and explore strategies for policy interventions for solving these at times complex challenges. Students will leave the course with a stronger sense of the power, and limitations, of environmental data and better equipped to evaluate and communicate the effectiveness of new interventions. After completing the course, students will more confidently be able to apply core scientific concepts to evaluating and addressing public health challenges posed by, for instance, fine particulate (PM2.5) contamination.

Intro to Management Principles - Applica
Intro Biopharma Mgmt Prin
Students in the MA in Biotechnology Program at Columbia commonly go on to pursue careers in the biopharmaceutical industry. The departmental training focus is technical. However, a basic understanding of management principles can be highly beneficial for optimizing job performance as well as for job advancement, and is commonly a challenging new skill to be mastered by new technical hires in the biopharmaceutical industry. This course has two components: 1) a survey of the basic elements of management education and 2) a series of actual cases taken from the biopharmaceutical industry which will allow students to see how the basic management principles they have learned are applied. The cases cover a range of business areas with an emphasis on the effects of business decisions on R&D operations and productivity. Cases will involve strategies for R&D management, strategies for business operation/expansion, issues of licensing /acquisition versus in house discovery of new products, generics versus brand name proprietary drug businesses, managing mergers and acquisitions and entrepreneurship. Cases will be rigorously discussed and debated in class. There is no single route to good management practice or corporate success, so in many instances diametrically opposed opinions will both have merit. As some students will have had workplace exposure, students should bring such experience and knowledge to case discussions. The course will thus be in good part taught using the Socratic Method.

ACCTG, FIN & MODL OF SUST
This course is designed to provide students with working knowledge on how to make successful investments in sustainable companies and to prepare students to be conversationally literate in financial reporting. As you leave the school and become leaders of organizations financial literacy will be a skill set that will be vital to success no matter what career path you go down. It starts with a strong foundation in accounting and corporate finance, then moves on to ESG/Impact screening of potential investments, along with valuation techniques used to arrive at a purchase price. It will explore financial models that can aggregate multiple variables used to drive investment decisions. To understand and lead a transition to a sustainability-aware business, managers must first be familiar with the terminology, practices and consequences of traditional accounting and finance. Students will learn traditional financial and accounting methods and tools. We will examine how these methods and tools are changing to improve product and service design, resource efficiency and allocation, employee productivity and sustainability performance outcomes. Students will learn how value is created in a company and the different methods employed to create that value, conduct due diligence, discuss optimal capital structure to finance a transaction, execute a transaction, and implement a Sustainability-based value-added operating plan to the target company. The course will conclude with students preparing a persuasive investment memo and accompanying financial model to the investment committee of an impact investing asset management firm. The course also provides a practical introduction to selected non-financial accounting topics including sustainability reporting standards, ESG corporate performance indicators and corporate social responsibility report (CSR Reporting).

ADVANCED CONFLICT RESOLUTION
A multitude of approaches guide the practitioner when faced with a problem. In conflict resolution, these approaches stem from a range of disciplines, whether from psychology, social psychology, political science, international relations, clinical psychology or even from quantum theory and the latest advances in neuroscience. From this palette of theories, frameworks, and models, the avid and adequately equipped practitioner is able to engage with the conflicts arising from various situations. Ideally, he/she is able to prevent, reduce, mitigate or to de-escalate the conflict to such a degree that actors are able to constructively engage in handling their issues. The competence to understand the drivers and triggers of conflict, and the motives that actors have to engage in conflict is derived from the practitioner’s capacity and capability to be flexible, adaptable, and critical in deploying the knowledge and tools appropriate to resolve any conflict, whether international, communal, organizational or interpersonal. Using a combination of analysis and case studies, this course explores the intersection of theory and analysis, covering the various concepts and frameworks available in the field and applying them to current situations. The critical engagement with the discipline allows students to improve their critical thinking skills, asking a range of questions to appraise the validity of each introduced concept and model, thereby reflecting proactively on whether or not a theory is useful and applicable in explaining the myriad phenomena emerging from a conflict. Knowing when a theory is advantageous to allow for the investigation into what drives, triggers, and motivates the behaviors, attitudes, or emotions of conflict parties immerses students into the reality and practicality of dealing with complex issues and the pitfalls of making recommendations short of viable entry points for leveraging peace and bringing a potentially protracted conflict to a different pathway. The acquired competences are applicable not only towards the program, but also beyond the program as students will be empowered to reflect critically on a text, understand the internal and external validity of a theory, circumvent logical errors, focus on concise and cohesive line of argumentation, and apply results-based recommendations. These skills and competences are applicable to any position requiring analytical, writing, and presentation skills. This course builds on and expands the learnings from PS5101.
