The course promotes reflection on the ethical domain of economic decision making and develops the students capacity to analyse and argue the ethical dimension. The principal philosophical ethical theories are discussed, and their applicability to business examined. The relationship between business ethics, law and religion is considered, as is the impact of agency theory and stakeholder theory. A range of practical applications which individuals are likely to encounter in the earlier years of their career are examined, including negotiation ethics, whistleblowing, privacy, conflicts of interest and discrimination. More general topics include environmental ethics, codes of conduct and globalisation. A pervading theme is the question of who is responsible for business ethics? |
