For humanities majors, new opportunities arise as big businesses expand their corporate social responsibility efforts and consider a triple bottom-line of people, planet, and profits. This talk is intended to be a gentle introduction to the Forbes Global 2000 (an annual ranking of the largest publically traded businesses) as well as IBM 101 - IBM is 101 years old in 2012. IBM's Smarter Planet initiative will be discussed from the perspective of opportunities for humanities and liberal arts majors.
