Course content

The purpose of this course is to help students improve their ability to make ethical decisions in business by providing them with a framework that they can use to identify, analyze, and resolve ethical issues in business decision making. Individual values and ethics are important in this process. By studying business ethics, students begin to understand how to cope with conflicts between their personal values and those of the organization. Many ethical decisions in business are close calls. It often takes years of experience in a particular industry to know what is acceptable. The professor does not, in this class, provide ethical answers but instead attempt to prepare students to make informed ethical decisions. The goal of this class is to help students understand and use their current values and convictions in making business decisions and to encourage everyone to think about the consequences of their decisions on themselves, business and society. Many people believe that business ethics cannot be taught. Although this class does not claim to teach ethics, it suggests that by studying business ethics students can improve ethical decision making by identifying ethical issues and recognizing the approaches available to resolve them. An organization’s reward system can reinforce appropriate behavior and help shape attitudes and beliefs about important issues.
