With respect to this teaching case study, it is used primarily in MBA Marketing & Sales Courses: EnerNOC - a clean energy company - sells energy-monitoring, management and efficiency services to utility customers, who agree to reduce consumption during peak-period emergencies in exchange for payments throughout the year. Utilities sign long term contracts with EnerNOC for delivery of 'negawatts', the reduced consumption of electricity during peak periods, as a way to avoid adding power generating capacity. EnerNOC is undergoing explosive growth and must manage the build out of its energy management system, as well as the growth and evolution of its sales force. This case can be used in a variety of courses. In an entrepreneurship course, it can be the basis for a discussion of entrepreneurial opportunities in the clean energy sector, as well as the challenges of managing rapid growth. In a marketing class, it can be used to discuss the concept of adjacent markets. It can also be used in a sales management class to stimulate a discussion on a broad range of issues such as: (1) rewards systems; (2) identification of sales skills in potential employees; (3) entry into a new market; and (4) sales training. It can be used in MBA level courses and in upper level undergraduate courses.

ETHICAL MARKETS’ mission is to foster the evolution of capitalism beyond current models based on materialism, maximizing self-interest and profit, competition and fear of scarcity. As we move further into the Information Age, we learn that information and knowledge are not scarce, and our economic models can move toward sharing, cooperating and a new abundance. We believe capitalism combined with humanity’s growing knowledge of the interdependence of all life on Planet Earth, can evolve to serve today’s new needs and our common future—-beyond maximizing profits for shareholders and management, to benefiting all stakeholders. We deliver this message to our global market by featuring stories of success. ETHICAL MARKETS’ TV series seeks to foster public understanding of all these issues…and awareness of the new players and the choices they offer to consumers, employees, investors, asset managers, financial planners and citizens to align their own lives, work, investment decisions and daily activities with their own highest goals. By showcasing all these groups and individuals spearheading the new ethical markets, we seek to grow this emerging, job-creating sector and expand its market share—-globally and locally.
