Business Ethics and Social Responsibility

This course aims to overview major ethical theories and how they can be applied in business contexts, such as in consumer relations, environmental problems and people management. This course also outlines how moral reasoning can be analyzed from argumentation and economic theory perspectives for deeper analysis. Ethical ideas are rarely indisputable demonstrations as they are often subject to heated debates. Case studies will be used throughout the course to develop ethical awareness and critical thinking in the face of such debates.
