Sustainability Program Learning Goals • The mutuality of community and business needs: The course examines the relationship between both environmental and social sustainability and Information Technology. Through examples and case studies, the course emphasizes the critical role that IT can potentially play in enabling or inhibiting both areas of sustainability. • Environmental, social and governance issues: The course focuses on organizational issues involved in implementing both environmental and social sustainability issues pertaining to Information Technology. • Best practices of sustainable firms: The course presents various solutions that have been identified in practice, that focus on reducing IT infrastructure’s carbon footprint and in using IT to reduce carbon footprint of other business functions. 4.Course Material/Readings Required Textbooks: 1.

6.General Course Policies 6.1 Case analyses and Project All case analyses and the project are completed in teams of four students each. Due dates shown in the course schedule will be strictly enforced. Late submissions will not be accepted. If you miss any classes during which we complete any partial work on any of the deliverables, you will lose the points for the parts you missed. Links to instructions for all deliverables will be available through blackboard. Unless otherwise stated, all deliverables will be submitted through the ‘Assignments’ section in blackboard (no printed copies). Each team member is required to contribute his/her fair share of work for each deliverable that requires teamwork. The instructor reserves the right to ask for percentage of work contribution by each team member for all deliverables. Work distribution should be done within each team for each deliverable rather than across deliverables. In other words, team members should contribute equally towards the development of each of the deliverables listed in this syllabus. 6.2 Class Participation, Attendance and Student performance Students are expected to attend all classes. If one or more classes are missed, it is the student's responsibility to determine the specific material covered during their absence and make the necessary arrangements for making up what is missed. Class discussion is strongly encouraged. Your class participation grade will depend on how much you contribute to in-class discussions. No direct credit shall be awarded just for attendance. Assigned readings should be read before each class session. This course requires continuous commitment of students both inside and outside of the classroom. Case analysis and discussions are a critical component of the course. Students are expected to read the cases before the corresponding class sessions and be well prepared to discuss the cases in class. In addition to participating in in-class discussions, students are also expected to contribute to the course Wiki. Instructions for contributing to the Wiki will be provided on blackboard. Please note that this syllabus is subject to change. Changes will be notified through blackboard. 6.3 Academic Integrity Statement The CIS Department fully supports Baruch College's policy on Academic Honesty, which states, in part: "Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Cheating, forgery, plagiarism, and collusion in dishonest acts undermine the college's educational mission and the students' personal and intellectual growth. Baruch students are expected to bear individual responsibility for their work and to uphold the ideal of academic integrity. Any student who attempts to compromise or devalue the academic process will be sanctioned." Additional information can be found at http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academic/academic_honesty.html. Deliverables that are required to be completed individually should not involve collaboration with other students. Deliverables that are required to be completed in a team should not involve collaboration across teams. Unauthorized collaborative work will result in appropriate disciplinary action. Academic sanctions in this class will range from a grade of F on the assignment to a grade of F in the course. A report of suspected academic dishonesty will be sent to the Office of the Dean of Students.
