Introductory Business Ethics - ZHSS2601 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description Business managers in the modern, global economy are routinely faced with challenging ethical issues. Do managers that sacrifice profits for the sake of mitigating social and environmental problems breach the trust of the shareholders that they have been appointed to serve? What are the moral requirements that marketing campaigns must adhere to? What rights do employees hold against their employers? Under what circumstances is it ethically appropriate to file for bankruptcy? Is it permissible to use bribery in cultures and markets where it normal and widely accepted? To what extent should free and voluntary commercial exchanges be coercively regulated by the state? In answering such questions, the law often provides little guidance. Students enrolled in Introductory Business Ethics will learn to apply traditional ethical theories and principles to modern-day business decisions in a wide range of contexts.
