Course Introduction: Business Issues and Ethics

Corporate leaders may be able to competently assess financial and economic risks when planning their next move, but ethical issues can be less quantifiable. The mishandling of business ethics may damage organizational reputation and legitimacy in community/society, which in turn impinges on the survival and sustainability of the business.

This advanced level business course focuses on specific issues relating to business ethics and business decision-making, aiming to generate debates and develop unique insights into some of the critical issues faced by business managers that involve morality elements. Case studies employed in class not only serve as a platform for mutual learning amongst students in an educational setting, but also enable students to apply the theories and models taught and equip them with sound analytical skills which will have a significant impact on their future career.
