Description
This course is an introduction to ethical decision making in business. There is an examination of individual, organizational, and societal issues in business ethics. The course does not determine correct ethical action; it is designed to assist the student as a potential business person to make more informed ethical decisions on a daily basis. To accomplish this objective, both descriptive and normative models of unethical and ethical decision making in business are analyzed. Keep in mind that there are no absolute right or wrong solutions in most situations. Dilemmas, real life situations, and cases provide an opportunity for the student to use concepts in the assignments and to resolve ethical issues. Since there is no universal agreement on the correct ethical business norms, critical thinking and informed decision making are emphasized.
