I am interested in alternative framework of corporate accountability for sustainable use of all resources within the context of a market economy.

Statement of Motivation for a DBA
The motivation for my DBA is to gain knowledge and a formal understanding of the issues in promoting a more sustainable and just world. I have a deep belief that we all have an obligation and responsibility for the protection of our planet and all its ecosystems. I also have a deep concern for the large part of humanity that have poor or no access to the basic needs for well being and ability to flourish as human beings. I hope to devote the rest of my life becoming a strong advocate for sustainable and just world.
