Given the growing complexity of managerial decision-making, the overall mission of this course is to foster ethical decision-making and behaviour in organizations. This course is designed to stimulate discussion of the emergent applied ethical issues in organizations. Students will be trained in critical thinking - the ability to address issues from both sides, to evaluate the best arguments on each side, and to arrive at a conclusion based upon a systematic analysis of these arguments. Specific topics covered include the modern global business environment, current issues facing business, government and society, the not for profit sector, workplace matters, stakeholder ethics and ethical decision making, and strategic responses to a changing global business environment. |
