ABUS4106: Scandals versus Best Practices: Business Ethics in the Real World
3 CreditsField StudyOnline Available
This course focuses on the impact of business ethics decisions with the goal of helping students develop a personal business ethics philosophy. Decisions are explored by studying current real-world cases embodying particular business constructs: stakeholders, corporate responsibility, sustainability, information sharing, organizational culture, global business, and leadership. Students will evaluate important historical decision-making variables and develop their own set of values. The course will go beyond theory to examine the ways that ethical decisions both challenge and benefit businesses, looking at both poor (scandals) versus good (best practices) decision-making.
