BUSN203 Business Ethics

10 cp

Prerequisites MGMT101 Fundamentals of Management

Teaching Organisation 3 hours per week for 12 weeks or equivalent.

The discipline of ethics can be described as a systematic reflection on the morality of human judgement, character and action. Its inclusion in the Bachelor of Business course as a separate unit emphasises the importance of a considered ethical view of professional business practice and of its social impact.

This unit serves as an ethical foundation in which to frame study of the various business disciplines. It encompasses a general introduction to ethics and considers important implications of ethical principles for the modern world of global capitalism. Within this framework, it addresses some of the more specific issues usually considered under the heading of “business ethics” such as whistle-blowing, dirty hands, equal opportunity, advertising and global and environmental issues.
