Ethics and AI in the Multinational Business: Navigating Strategy and Responsibility

NEW #International #ClassReport #MSBA

In Ethics and AI in the Multinational Business, Professor Hakeem Muhammad Mohsin leads students through one of the most pressing challenges facing global organizations today. With a research background spanning international business, sustainability, and network science, Professor Mohsin brings both academic depth and practical relevance to discussions around AI governance. The course positions ethics not as a constraint, but as a central pillar of strategic decision-making in the digital age.

Structured entirely around case discussions, the course engages MSc students in debates on automation, data privacy, algorithmic bias, and global regulatory complexity. The diversity of the classroom adds depth to these conversations, as students draw on perspectives from different industries, regions, and professional experiences to evaluate complex trade-offs.

One particularly dynamic session centers on Walmart’s digital transformation. Students examine how a global retailer leverages AI and data analytics to enhance efficiency and customer experience, while also confronting ethical concerns around workforce displacement and data usage. The discussion quickly moves beyond the case itself, with students debating how multinational firms can balance competitive advantage with social responsibility across different markets.

The course ultimately challenges participants to rethink the role of leadership in an AI-driven world. Rather than focusing solely on what is possible, students are pushed to consider what is responsible, and how organizations can build systems that are both innovative and ethically sound.
