Description: Business Ethics is the application of our understanding of good/bad, right/wrong to the various institutions, technologies, transactions, activities, and pursuits we call business. We study frameworks of basic principles for understanding the good/bad dichotomy and the implications this has for business. We also discuss such topics as the ethical aspects of the market structure within which American business transactions are conducted, the ethical implications for the wider world from which business activity draws its natural resources, ethical responsibilities for the consumers to whom the products of business are sold, the internal relationship between the organization and the individuals within it, and the global context in which ethical issues arise in business. Notes: Cross-listed with MGMT 575. Offered in fall. Prerequisites: CRTW 201.
