Course Description

This course provides a basic introduction to ethical issues in the business world, which includes the developing global, international business world. It must be emphasized that because the business world is now so large and still developing, the course provides no more than an introduction to the enormously complex ethical issues in the business world today. It is the general goal of the course to explain and to critically examine some of these ethical issues. You will be expected to think for yourself and defend your views or positions on the ethical issues.
