BC 402 Business Ethics Practicum

Business is about meeting the needs and desires of human society and is therefore about human goods and the best means of providing them. Ethics is concerned with the identification of human goods (ends) and their pursuit (means), including the direction and constraints that might be involved in their pursuit. This course encourages the student to think through ethical business problems and issues and systematically arrive at an answer or response that has integrity. An important consideration in this course is to create a balance between theory and practice in solving practical problems presented in case studies. Students will explore decision-making in the midst of moral ambiguity and environmental uncertainty while developing their self-awareness, leadership abilities, emotional intelligence skills, and ethical awareness and decision-making.
