BUS214)Business Ethics & Social Responsibility)

The purpose of this course is to explore ethical issues in a rational, pragmatic, responsible, and decisive manner in order to best prepare you to resolve these issues when faced with them in your personal and professional lives. A course in business ethics seeks to bridge the gap between personal moral choices of individual and the business challenges presented by corporate activity in the marketplace. Our work in this course will raise your awareness surrounding these legal, moral and ethical challenges in business, create a sensitivity to the implications of business decisions so you can make the most effective decision possible, equip you with tools and strategies for managing your own and others' ethical behaviour, and encourage you to critically evaluate the decisions of other business leaders. Perhaps along the way, you might even see your own decisions or capacity for decision-making in a new context.
