When you are almost finished with your MSc. Economy, Business or a related study and you want to develop yourself in the field of Sustainability, ESG and CSR, this could be interesting for you. Empact is looking for a graduate student with a heart and mind for society at large.
We see that the why- and what-questions of sustainability within organisations are being answered. But the how-question is the biggest and most difficult one. Existing organisations are in transition towards a sustainable and more impact-driven model of operations. They change and the people within those organisations need to change too. Real sustainable change as a fixed component of everybodys daily work, will be the challenge for the upcoming decade. We expect a strong need for knowledge and understanding the change dimensions. That is why we are developing our own tools and ideas for this. Now we have an opening for a master student on:
Sustainability and change management
Our idea on the research you can do is not set in stone and mostly up to you. You can use change management insights like Burke-Litwin, the Kotter’s 8-step change or the ADKAR change management model and plot them into the sustainability context. You can also use individual change theories like the Kubler-Ross Change Curve or the Goldsmit Wheel of Change to help you identify the drivers of sustainable change. These theories seem very scientific, but Empact is about bringing science to life in its daily advisory practice. So developing a new theory is not our objective, but applying existing theories in the sustainability and CSR context, is. We help you to find the right research question and guide you on your path.
