Outline and objectives

Business Ethics covers a variety of contemporary case studies which demonstrates the dynamics between what could be called opportunity and misconduct. Over the years this has led to conflicts of interest, even more regulation to try and separate rule-makers from the rule-enforcers and the players and, where that fails, often catastrophic results ensue.
This course aims to provide students to understand and deal with the fundamentals of ethics. We will look at various case studies to observe how companies operated within the grey area and/or have not acted responsibly in a highly competitive environment. This course will then delve into how companies have internal control processes in place to ensure that such fraud does not occur. Students are encouraged to gain awareness of the interconnectedness of organizations and nations in a globalized world and how their actions as managers will affect different stakeholders, nations and the world as a whole.

Goal

Using the critical thinking exercises and class discussions, students will be able to apply their knowledge to case-studies and group work. Skills they acquire through this course should prepare them to understand key technical terms and give a better understanding of the world.
