21st century business graduates need to be well equipped with skillsets that enable them to apply their
commercial knowledge in organisations where profit maximisation is not the sole purpose. However, business
students continue to be taught classic commercial business principles that predominately value profit and
performance, resulting in a significant skill shortage for businesses embracing ethical responsibility, social justice
and environment issues. The aim of this project is to blueprint a cutting-edge commerce degree that fills this skill

The challenge of dealing with accelerating complexity in management environments

of the Self/Other encounter. In order to explore this Self/Other dimension, the paper analyses the
literary work of nineteenth-century writer Pierre Loti since his work begins to problematise this
important motif. His work also provides insight into the effect on the individual when encountering the
Other in a globalised context.
