More than ever the area of business ethics and corporate governance are at the forefront of discussion in the business community. While the frustration of the performance of publicly traded companies abound, the decisions of business leaders are more than ever coming under scrutiny.
The objective of the course is to provide students with the opportunity to explore the value and relevance of ethical theory as it relates to business. By utilizing the case method, this course will provide students with a hands-on approach to understanding opposing views when it comes to the ethical implications of business decisions. The stakeholder model will be the foundation by which the actions of management and their ethical implications will be analyzed.
This seminar course will introduce participants to the complexity of applying ethical theory to practical business situations. In the first part of the course, we will evaluate the theory related to ethical decision-making and its relation to the stakeholder model. The second part of the course will focus on evaluating business decisions within the various function areas of the organization. To achieve this, cases, current newspaper articles, and videos will be used to explore the ethical issues that are being faced by organizations.
