Business ethics

Acquis d'apprentissage

This course provides tools necessary to help students learn the important dimensions of
business ethics. Using a managerial framework, we will explain how ethics can be integrated
into strategic business decisions. In addition, this course addresses the complex
environment of ethical decision making in organizations and real-life issues. Finally, it is an
overview of the concepts, processes, mandatory, core, and voluntary business practices
associated with successful corporate governance. Business ethics is an important part of
any industry. Students or managers, unfamiliar with many ethical challenges, behaviors, or
regulations will find themselves struggling in business industries that include finance,
accounting or human resource management, marketing and retail. Today's managers must
necessarily concern themselves with ethical issues, because unethical behavior creates
legal risks and damage to businesses as well as employees and consumers. Business ethics
have become an integral part of business education in general. A student or manager who
is well-versed in ethical behavior in practices, not only in the domestic market but
internationally, will find him or herself better prepared to deal with issues or situations that
may arise that don't always involve easy answers or decisions.
