MBAB 651 Ethical Issues in Business

3 semester hours

This course introduces students to the two dominant philosophical traditions used in analyzing ethical issues in business: 1) evaluating the amount and type of benefits and/or harm that will result from an action, and 2) evaluating the intrinsic character of an action. After getting comfortable with the basic theory, students apply these approaches to numerous ethical dilemmas in business. In this respect, the course is about learning a new way of evaluating problems and making decisions. This course also discusses: the issue of the relationship between the moral character of our actions and the health of the human personality, and the claim that men and women may perceive and resolve ethical dilemmas differently.
